Wait until you have enough money for a wedding (if you want a big one). If you do have a large wedding, make sure you guys have enough money to support yourselves as well (still be able to make house/apartment, car, bill payments and so on) a lot of people go nuts with their weddings and forget to budget in their regular expenses. If you guys aren't into that sort of thing, whenever you feel ready, best of luck to ya!

Are you asking more on the lines of what time of year is the best time to get married? If so, it really depends on where you live. We are in southern Calif (desert area) and the best time is in December or January as this is the time that is cool but not too cold and the rainy season is not until Feb-Mar. Our winters are mild to say the least. So just take a mental note on the weather where you live.
If you are asking how long should you wait before getting married, well, it was 3 years after knowing my husband that we married and although it hasn't been a bed of roses, it has been great, learning, teaching, living and overall a great life for us!

Happy together 3-5 years. Late 20's, early 30's. Okay, that's the time. The feelings happen to be a little more important.
Do you love each other more than anything in this world? Are you ready to make a commitment to spend the rest of your lives together, till death do you part? Are you doing anything to make each other happy, NOT YOURSELVES? Do you also respect, trust and communicate with each other?
If all of the above answers are YES and you're 25 years or older, then just wait for him to get down on his knee with a gorgeous diamond ring and propose, because it's time.
If any of those answers are NO, hang on, because it's not the right time.

You should get married when both of you agree that it's the right time. For some couples, it's a few weeks....for others it a few months or years.
There is no set rule regarding this. Just make sure that you both are ready and agree that the time is right!

When he has the looks of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom put together and the money of Donald Trump, Bill Gates and the Forbes foundation put together and he doesn't request a pre nup.

When both of you decide you're ready. There's no set guideline. I've known people to get married after 16 years of already living with each other.

well..... you have slept together, you both know who snores, what to buy and not to buy, what the fav color is, what to eat what not to eat, the extended family baggage and pretty much who you both are... at least I hope you do! Three years is a nice and loooong runway to marriage. But if you feel good together and trust in one another, just make sure you can start of comfortably money-wise. It's tough out there.... Good luck!

Go with what you feel. If you feel ike that's the guy for you, and there's noone else out there then go ahead. As long as you know he won't cheat on you and like he won't do any wrong then hey, what could go wrong. Just be very careful and if YOU feel like your making the right decision then get married. GOOD LUCK!!!

this i think is not something to be rushed.. if u guys can last three years then whats another 3 or 4 ... i mean this is the biggest step in ur life.. and u really need to make sure that u are ready money wise and heart wise(not sayin that u arent in love) but u need to be strong for each other, and have courage, faith and trust each other... but like another girl said u will know when its time.. just like u know its him!

When you've BOTH decided that you want to have a life together and you want it to last forever.
Not forever until it gets too hard.....but forever.
Just because you've been together 3 years doesn't mean you're supposed to get married....sometimes that's as far as the relationship is supposed to go....bf & gf.
