I met my hubby in January and we got married that August. I was 18 and he was 21. We will celebrate out 11 year anniversary this August. (no kids.). We went to the JP to avoid the cost and stress of a wedding ceremony. My only regret is not wearing a "wedding" gown. I think if it is the right person it wont matter how little or long you are engaged. If you don't know each other that well than you shouldn't be engaged yet anyway. Why spend so much time and money for one day? Wouldn't it make more since to use that money for down payment on your first house? Or paying of debt you two may already have? Maybe just take a longer honeymoon with the money. Just my opion. Good luck either way! Hope you are and will be happy.

I believe the two one among you. Being settled is amazingly substantial. Marriage in lots of instances leads to a house, morgage, little ones, etc. so which you the two could be waiting for that. i do no longer think of you're able to purchase a place till you're married, yet saving on your destiny is a clever thought. I additionally think of 22 is only too youthful to be certain who you prefer to spend something of your existence with. we at the instant are not a similar human beings at age 20, 25, 30, 40. It takes years so which you would be able to grow to be the guy you would be. Have an prolonged engagement, and be rather, rather advantageous once you initiate making plans this wedding ceremony. there is not any could rush into your destiny, it rather is going to be there once you're arranged for it. savour your 20s, savour being engaged. artwork on your occupation, keep for that huge high priced wedding ceremony, and for that first residing house mutually. there'll be bumps on the line and twists and turns you on no account anticipate to work out coming, it rather is why the engagement era is so substantial. He is probably no longer a similar guy at age 30 or 32 which you notice now. and you is probably no longer a similar female. Take a while. Marriage is an entire life dedication, no longer a sometime party.

Well... My fiance and I have been dating for a year now.. We got engaged after only 5 months of dating, but if it's one of those connections that you just know will work out it's ok if you go ahead and plan! We're getting married in May of this year... So whenever you're both ready, then go for it! Remember it's what you two want... not everyone else! Good luck and congrats to you both!

As long as it takes for you to know for sure that you guys know everything about each other. Make sure you have had talks about your expectations for the marriage (or you may be "surprised" later). Do you want kids, do your religious views match up, are your cleanliness habits similar, who will be responsible for what (making money, cleaning, etc).
My parents were married 1 month after they started dating and are still married (26 years). My husband and I dated for 4 years before we got married. My brother and his wife dated for a little over a year before they got married. All are doing amazing in their relationships. It all depends on the people.

Sure!
It all depends on how fast the venue you want for your ceremony and reception fill up.
Since my fiance and I wanted a popular time and location (June 2008 Outer Banks, NC) we reserved the date in January 2007. That gives us plenty of time to save up for other things (favors, apparel, honeymoon etc).
So due to timing of other events in our life, June 2008 is a perfect date to have for our wedding.
Some couples forget to enjoy the engagement period.
Congrats!

You should remain engaged as long as you feel necessary. Most people are engaged for 1-3 years; the amount of time it takes to plan their wedding. Usually family and friends tend to get antsy and figure you'll never marry after 5 years. Most importantly it is up to you and your intended.

I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years and we are happy waiting to get married until we can have our lives in a better place. It all depends on you and your boyfriend, if both of you feel it is too long to wait, then up the date....otherwise it is better to take it slow and make sure he is the one for you and you for him...Good luck!

My understanding of the "general rule of thumb" is you are engaged for as long as it takes you to plan the wedding. I had a nice wedding planned and done within 6-8 weeks of becoming engaged. Take care.
