I am sooo nosey but I love hearing the stories. I can't wait to get married because I really think I have found the right guy. I was just wondering how long you were together before the wedding bells were ringing. I have been with John for about two years now, we haven't planned anything yet but we both know we want to marry. I know my family would be happy if I got married, my sister too who is engaged but they don't force the issue. When the time comes it will be a happy one!

I also wonder who has been married the longest on here? I love to hear about anniversaries, my Grandparents celebrated their diamond wedding last year!!! Wow.

I am a silly romantic

Yikes! lol This is normally a very touchy subject for me as I got married VERY young (15) and had only been dating my boyfriend for about 9 months before we tied the knot. I got alot of heat from my family and his on our decision and everyone said it wouldnt last 6 months....we will be married 12 years come Sept 2nd. He was my first boyfriend and we have 3 beautiful children and I truly believe when I met him that I KNEW deep down that he was my soulmate.

We started dating March of '03, but we were friends since August of '02, and we got married Oct of '06, so we were together for 3.5 years, but we had known each other for 4 years. We got engaged August of '05.

I knew he was serious when he brought the Playstation! At that moment is when we had the "talk".

Oh my... the playstation... that was a good laugh! LOL

Well, as of June this year (when we're getting married) we will have been dating for about 5½ years. Seems like alot compared to most of you but we've been through so much in that time and have been living together and committed to getting married for over the past year.

Six years before we got married, five years before we moved in together. I've known him since HS, but didn't date until after college. We've been married about a year and a half. Things move fast around here

Over the river and through the woods...
Chip and I knew each other for 16yrs before we got married. First we hated each other...then, 4 yrs later we ran into each other again and became best friends. Then we dated for a year before he got back together with his ex
. Then I moved away for 4 years but we still kept in touch. (sound like When Harry Met Sally, doesn't it?)

We finally got back on the same page when my mom was sick with cancer. He didn't leave my side. So, to make a long story short (to late, I know!) We were officially together 1 yr 6 months before the wedding. You would not believe how many people said at the wedding "well, its about time!!!"
