Answer 1

thats almsot exactly how we did it! only he was 25, i was in undergrad and he was in grad school. we never had a big wedding though because at that point in our lives we didnt have very much money.. just love. so now we are planning the wedding we never had as a 'vow renewal'. Time doesnt mean anything when it comes to love though!

congrats.

Answer 2

im 21 shes 22. we just bought our own house. she has a 7 year old son. ive known her for as long as we have been dating 1/22/05. We got engaged after about a year. we knew from the first day we met that it would end up that way and look where we are now. were getting married 9/22/07. i think its all to do with what you think is right. We have been through so much that there is no way it wont work. weve been to the point where she thought another guy was better then me and realized that im number one (i can cook clean massage and i work hard, she also thinks im gorgeous also...lol) so really its all up to you and him. if you think itll work then it probably will. otherwise you are still getting married early and if it doesnt work u will have your whole life to find the right person if he wasnt it. have you lived together first? that is a big step and once you do that you may not want to get married after that. if i could change anything it would be how we got engaged. we went ring shopping to see what was out there and zales was having a HUGE sale. 75% off the rings that we wanted so of course we were like i guess its a sign(as most of our relationship has been) and then we bought the ring and it was too late for it to be a surprise so i basically had perposed to her in the bathroom after i had asked her dad if it would be ok for me to marry her. so thats all i would change!

Answer 3

My fiance and I have were together for almost 2 1/2 years before we got engaged. The only thing that will be short is our engagement (less than 4 months).
But if you know you're ready to commit to eachother and don't have doubts, then go for it. An engagement can be called off. Once you're married there's no turning back (well there's divorce, but maybe you shouldn't have been married in the first place)

Answer 4

i have been engaged a lot of times, and it was always after a few months and of course they didn't work out because we didn't know each other at all! This time i know it is right because i didn't move in with him until we were together a year and then he proposed a month after that and we are getting married next year, which we will be together for a little over two years before we get married. I don't see anything wrong with you being engaged right now, just have at least a two year engagement so you will have a year to get to know each other better and then if the relationship is still good and growing, you can start planning things in the second year.

Answer 5

Me and my fiance got together when he was just 16 and I was 16 almost 17. We were together for 3 years and 10 months when we got engaged in March this year. We were both 20. We are getting married in November next year, I will be 22 and him 21. It is all perfect for me, I would not change anything! We were together for a good length of time before we got engaged, including living together for a while too. We will have a fairly long engagement but I think that is good too. I'm happy with everything!

Answer 6

I knew my husband a total of 4 months when we got married and we have been happily married for 10 years now. We were 20. It depends on the maturity of the people. We both knew what we wanted and that was it, some people can't settle down at a young age because either they don't want to, they are looking for something else, or are not old enough maturity wise to deal. Marriage is only hard if you make it hard. I would not change a thing, sure there have been hard times, but that only made us closer and we are each others best friends and they only one each other trusts in this world.Good Luck!!

Answer 7

I don't think after 10months of dating my now husband of two weeks, I would have wanted to marry him.

Are relationship is a bit backwards as we spent the first year going through some rough times. Since that time our relationship has been so much stronger.

We got engaged last year after living together for about 2 years (dating for 4years).

We just got married two weeks ago which was 5 1/2 years from the date of our first date.

Now not everyone takes that long to get married but we are at the point in our lives that we know we want to spend the rest of our lives together. (we're 25/27).

So, regardless of your choice, it just matters that it's what both of you want and you have truly discussed what it means to be married. Good luck!!

Answer 8

ive known my fiance for 7 years. were best friends. BUT were holding off our marraige for a while. after ten months MANY couples talk about their futures together and 'feel' that its perfect and so on. but if it is right, give it longer. the first few years of any relationship will always be a breeze if u love each other. i understand the rush to wed cause u 'know' thats who u want to be with forever. BUT love is blind and often misses the reality that waiting is a great idea. sometimes i get caught up in wanting to get married then i remind myself, we already are - our love is what matters most - we just havent said our vows in a church yet.
im glad youre happy but maybe u should consider enjoying the engagement for a while rather than jumping straight into the wedding

Answer 9

My wife is 20 little hottie people still cant believe shes married Im 27. Had been together for about 1 1/2 years. She brought the whole marriage thing up before we were even together known her for about 2 years including the time we were actually in a relationship. Never been happier we still get out and hang out with friends and have the best times together have been overseas and everything. Shes perfect
Works out for some and not for others luckily its worked for us.

Answer 10

I was with my husband about 3 years before we got married. We are now going through a divorce sometimes you do not truly know some one or maybe they do not know themselves. Just becareful and follow your heart. A terrible as the last 4 years were between us. I loved and still love him very much. I would not trade the three years of dating and the 3 years that we were happy for anything. We have three beautiful kids. That i hope he will some day decided to be a better father to. We were together 10 years total.

Answer 11

I am 22 as well.....my fiance (23 y/o) and I were dating for almost 4 1/2 years before he popped the question. Out of those 4 years, we were living together for 3 years, and recently just bought a home. We both knew we were ready for marriage, but financially he wasnt ready to buy me the ring that he wanted to get me. I told him he could propose with a Cherrieo as a ring for all I cared. He didnt want to do that. He said that I deserved more. We knew that we were going to get married, and he did buy me that huge rock! Im not materilistic, what so ever though. We are getting married in March.

My father proposed to my mother after 3 months of dating her....and were married 3 months after that.....they have been together for 25 years, and they love each other more and more each day...best of luck to you!
