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

It was the end of our sophomore years in college. I was 20 and he was 19.

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

We had been dating just shy of 4.5 years (he proposed on Oct. 9th; Oct. 13th would have been 4.5 years). It was a long 4.5 years though (my mother died, I had some major surgery, etc. so we had some true tests mixed in that we passed with flying colors!!).

How long was the engagement?

October 9th - June 16th. About 9 months. I wouldn't want it any longer with the whole wedding planning thing!

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.
happy 37th anniversary, DeltAlum! (unless yalll hit splitsville... then i take it back...)

nice bump!

I was 20, he was 24. He was our Theta Sweetheart's best friend from home.

We were "together" for about 1 year, 2 months when he popped the Q. I knew the day after I met him I would marry him, though.

We were engaged for about a year and a half. Long enough for me to graduate college and find a job.

We celebrate 7 years in September. It certainly hasn't been an easy road, but nothing worth doing ever is.

I was 25.

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

We made the relationship "official" (i.e. began courting, seriously) on September 1, 2005 after having known each other for almost a year. We got engaged the following February though I don't have any idea of the date.

How long was the engagement?[/B]

The engagement was really just a formality and a chance to give our families time to adjust to the idea. We were married about seven months after we got engaged. Our civil wedding date was September 1, 2006 because I would never have remembered the date otherwise.

Our church wedding was...lemme check the paper...July 27, 2008.
