When we met, I was 25 and Mr. Carnation was 28.

We knew each other for 7 months before he popped the question--with "So why don't we get married?" as we were putting on our shoes. (Real romantic moment.)

We were engaged for 11 months.

21 - we both were, although I had just turned 21 3 weeks earlier.

How long did you know each other before "the question" was popped? 4 years 5 months...we even lived together for 2.5 of those years!! It was very aggrivating!! :mad:

How long was the engagement? Engaged on Valentine's Day and married Nov. 6th -- I can't do math right now....long day!

We will celebrate (or should I say CELIBATE with the kid around!) 9 years of "dating" in September, and 4 years of "marriage" (the anti-dating!) in November!


Carnation -- yeah, real romantic with the shoes thing :D At least you didn't spend an hour and a half on the seawall in Beaufort, SC debating on whether or not we could make this work, knowing that he had the ring already, and that we had lived together for so long!!! I was so frustrated with that boy!!!

I have a photo of us as babies, and our paths crossed many times growing up, but we officially "met" when I was 17 and he was 16, about to turn 17.

How long did you know each other before "the question" was popped?

He proposed on April 12, 2003. We started dating on September 7, 1997. In his proposal he even said that the last 5 years, 7 months and 5 days had been the best of his life.

How long was the engagement?

The engagement will be 13 months and 17 days. Only 11 months to go! :D

Answers:

19 -- she was within a couple months of 18

Question was never really "popped." It just kind of became obvious and was one of those "understood" things after a while.

Due to the above, there's no real answer. We dated about four years.

We will have been married 33 years one week from today.

We met online and he flew out from Vancouver, BC to meet me (I lived in the Washington, DC area at the time)

How long did you know each other before "the question" was popped? 2 years 3 months

CONGRATS, DeltAlum and Mrs. DeltAlum -- that is wonderful to hear! I love hearing of couples who continue to grow stronger year by year -- you have something very special together :)

How long?
 
How old were you when you met your husband/wife?
I was 17 and still in high school. I met him at a "prospective" college picnic/fun day. He was a junior at the school and was playing volleyball. I asked if I could play on his team, and he cursed at me. I almost did not go to the college because of it!

How long did you know each other before "the question" was popped?
We never really dated. He was a friend. I got sick in my first semester at the school and so we decided to get married.

How long was the engagement?
1 year :)

We have a BIG anniversary this summer! YEAH!

How old were you when you met your husband/wife?

It was the beginning of my sophomore year in college, so I was 19, he was 20

How long did you know each other before "the question" was popped?
If you count what I called the "fake" proposal (he says he was serious :rolleyes: ) we knew each other other for 3 years. There were 2 other quasi proposals, but the "real" proposal--the one I said yes to--came after 9 years of knowing each other

How long was the engagement?
The engagement was for 17 months

Yep, we knew each other for 11 years before we got married. We've been married for 7

JohnsDGsweethrt 07-04-2003 04:28 PM

AXO_MOM_3 07-04-2003 10:52 PM

I was 25, he was 31.
We dated for about a year before he asked me to marry him.
The engagement was four months.

He is still my sweet darling nine years later! I love being married too!

deltaphi94 07-05-2003 01:02 AM

one for Rudey...lol
 
I was 23 and he was 44 when we met.

He told me within a couple of months that he was going to ask me to marry him, but the actual proposal -- which I thought was a joke -- came on my 25th birthday (August, 2000). The official announcement of our engagement came around Thanksgiving. That was when I got the ring.

We were married January 12, 2001.

aephi alum 07-07-2003 09:25 PM

When we were first introduced, I was 17 and he was 18. He was no more than a "friend of a friend" to me for the next few years though... I was 20 and he was 21 when we actually started dating.

We got engaged about 10 months after that.

Our engagement was just shy of 2-1/2 years.

AlphaGamDiva 07-07-2003 10:16 PM

I wanted to wait a little longer, but, she managed to find the engagement ring hidden in my apartment :eek: We had known each other a little over a year....

Engagement was 11 months.

In December of this year, we will have been married for 12 years :cool:

He pseudo-proposed within 3 months, but we dated for a little over 3 years before the question was officially popped. I knew my husband was going to be someone really special by our second date. :)

We were engaged for 18 months--had to wait until after I graduated from law school--and we'll be celebrating our 3rd anniversary next month! :D

32

10 months

(We figured at our age - both over 30 - we had lived long enough to know what we want out of life, so why put it off forever.)
