As someone who is recently engaged, I guess our big decision was really life timing, not so much timing within our relationship. We've been dating for 6 years, and we pretty much knew that marriage was the end result after about two, but it wouldn't have been logical to get married then because I was still an undergrad and he hadn't landed his career job yet. When we got engaged (March), I was getting ready to graduate, I had my offer from my grad school, and he has had a solid, well paying career for a couple years now. It just seemed logical. We're waiting to do the actual tying of the knot until I finish my Masters course, but that's again for practical reasons, as I'm hoping to do a PhD or stay on in Scotland under a visa scheme, and we can both come and work here after we're married. The timing just works.
