How funny! I didn't get an engagement ring, either. I got an engagement dog...

1. Hubby and I were both 19 when we met at an off-campus party. We started dating about a month after that.

2. We dated about 5 months before he popped the question, sort of. Since he didn't have a ring, he wanted to test the waters to see what I'd say to the question, "Do you think you have to have a ring to be engaged?" Since I said no, he asked the BIG question and I said yes. The next day we went to the pound and got an engagement dog.

3. The engagement lasted two years, and the marriage has been going strong for eight. The dog, too, is still happy and healthy.

He proposed last year so we had been dating for a little over 5 years.

Cheating, as I'm not married YET ...

We were both around 11. Sixth grade

We'd known each other for eight years before we became engaged (although we hadn't been dating all of that time - only about 1 year).

We'll have been engaged for about 3 years and 9 months when we get married this October.

So far we've been married a whole two weeks!

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!
