And... how long was the engagement?
Just would like to see the results on these three questions...

We started dating when we met, were dating for 2.5 years when he proposed, and it willl be one month shy of 4 years when we get married this January (yes, 1.5 years of engagement, and I still wish I had more time to plan!).

I think I knew him for like 2 years before we started dating.
We dated from 1993 - 2001 (well, 1994-2001 if you don't count the 2 months we broke up).
We got engaged Jan 2001 and are getting married this month.
Definitely not typical, but we had extenuating circumstances - we dated for so long before getting engaged because I wasn't about to "push" him. He'd been married before and was understandably gunshy, and I knew he wasn't going anywhere. Also, a month after we got engaged, he lost his job, and spent about 18 months out of the following 3 years unemployed. Rent, food, and car payments were far more important than a wedding. Now that we're both financially stable, we are able to afford the wedding we want. =) But by no means would I say we were "typical" or that anyone should use us as an example! ;)

We had known each other for about 8 years or so. We were together for 6 years before he proposed. We will be married next summer after 1 1/2 engagement.

My fiance and I have lived together for 4 years and our engagement will be 5 months, just enough time to plan the wedding. I think this was more than long enough. I knew I wanted to marry him before the first year of living together. lol

How long did you know your fiancee before being engaged: It will be 9 months since I am asking her to marry me in December 06.
How long were you together before getting engaged: 9 months
How long was the engagement: Since we won't get married until early 2008 it will be about 15 months between engagement and getting married.

Worked together for 1 year, but worked in different departments so we didn't know each other well.
Dated for 4 years (1 year of living together)
Engaged for 9 months (40 more days til the big day!)
If I had my choice, the span between dating and engagement would have been much much less!

we dated for about 4 years before we got engaged, and were engaged for 6 months before we got married! We actually had intended to just be a one weekend fling, but just had to be together after that weekend! and we have been together since then!! I wouldnt change a thing! :)

We knew each other for 1 year, were "together" for and then engaged for 11 months.
