It's gonna be at least another year and half. lmao

and 5 years is a lot. Maybe I should re-figure the poll. I doubt anyone got engaged in less than 6 months, but I've heard stories.


Oh well...

We also came real close to getting married at about the 8 month mark. JP was closed.

We knew we'd marry each other within two months of when we met, we just had to wait to get out of college.

[orange machine]

It doesn't matter if you have been dating for 1 day or 20 years you won't know how she really is until you get married then the true colors will arise. For whatever reason things just change very very fast when you place the ring on the finger. :D

By the way my wife and I dated for 3 years before we got married.

Get ready and hold on it's gonna be a bumpy ride!:eek:

[Ernest T Bass]

3 years for me. 2 months for my grandparents, and they lasted 60 years.

[piratebg]

Exactly 4yrs for me and my wife.

[BaseballUmp]

4 hours 28 minutes half a bottle of patron and a couple hundred bucks

[GrTigers6]

We waited a year and a half but we started dating oct of our junior year in high school so we waited till after we graduated to get married. But only 25 days after. Been married for 22 years.

[bobcat1]

About a week. That's how long it took her to realize what she had in me.:D I was hooked minute 1.:eek: It's lasted 22 years and counting. The first wife:doh: wasn't as lucky as this one. She only stuck for 7 years.

[TheDOCTORdre]

When I asked my wife out I told her the only way we even start this thing is if we plan on forever, so we already knew what was coming and bout 5 and a half months later I popped the question.

[OldBison75]

See, she has destroyed my brain in all this time. We started dating in 1978 and decided to get married in January 1979.

I STILL DON'T THINK STRAIGHT WHEN i TALK ABOUT HER!!!!!

[SintonFan]

Six months and then an 18 month engagement period.

[BEAST]

We were married 4 months after the first date. Going on 12 years now. 3 boys to boot. Still love her as much as ever.




BEAST

[Tired ole Bobcat]

I took my wife to be out twice before we were engaged. I was off to serve our county. Two months later we were married while I was on leave between basic and my next assignment. That was in April '65 and we are still hanging out 45 years later.

[waterboy]

I dated my wife for about 3 months before we tied the knot. We knew we were right for each other from the moment we first talked to each other. Sometimes it happens that way, sometimes not. Each person is different. Before I met her I had always thought I would've waited longer. I'm glad I didn't! Fourteen years and two daughters later, I can honestly say that it was the best thing that ever happened to me, other than my salvation, that is!

[baseballcoach13]

Met on June 4, I told her that I was gonna marry her three days later, she broke up with her boyfriend on July 4, I proposed on Aug 4, and got married on Dec 29. We just celebrated our 10 year anniversary. Pancho and his goat was my best men. Same goat was served at the reception.

[50 yard line fan]

First date Summer of 1987
Married January 2000

I've never fell out of love, just took me a long time to pop the question.

[Pick6]

Met in December 1991 married in Feb 1992. Fixing to hit 19 years.

[Phil C]

Actually I was careless in my clicking. The 2 plus years should be one less and the less than 6 months should be one more.

People should take time to get to know each other or the marriages may not last. Heck, I have only been married to my wife 26 years and we are still together. :)

[44INAROW]

started dating in Feb, 1973 - married Nov 1975 - been married 35 years..

[db1980]

Met in July, engaged in October and married in May.

[MUSTANG69]

Met in Jan. 1994. First official date was Apr. 9, 1994 and we lived together from that point on.( Wanted some practice before we tied the knot.) Married Aug. 30, 1997. Still married.

[lulu]

STARTED dating my first husband at 14...married him at 18....divorced him at 40 (2 kids) . Married again at 45....been married for 16 years. Too old to do it again so this one better be good. All kidding aside....He makes me very happy most of the time and I try to keep him happy. It works.

[pancho villa]

I met my wife in 84 and she has keep my clothes clean and pressed, and food on the table ever since. I think I'll keep her a few more years.

[poisoned10]

Me and my wife went to school together and were really good friends, even after we graduated (2002 for me, 2003 for her).

We started dating in 2005 and were engaged in October of 2006. Got married June 9, 2007. Approaching 4 years with 2 kids!

[Farmersfan]

Dated for about 1 year and been married 26 years!

[Bullaholic]

My wife and I were the classic highschool sweethearts---met in 63' and married in 70' after I graduated from college--been married for 41 years at the end of this month to the best wife, mother, and grandmother in the world.

[BILLYFRED0000]

There are way too many factors. Bro. One size does not fit all. My wife and I had dated a week (3 times) and it was over. I did not propose officially for about 2 months and we were married in 5. Coming up on 15 years of bliss and wonderful children. She is still hot to me and always will be.

[nobogey72]

best as I remember, I proposed after about 2 1/2 minutes. In her words "best 2 1/2 minutes of her life".

Actually we started dating the summer after her 8th grade year and my sophomore yr. Dated 7 yrs and been married 34. When I finally proposed, she was so shocked that I had finally asked her to marry me, she nearly fell off the bed. I finally asked her to marry me because I was impressed by how she kept "elbowing her way to the front of the line". :D :D :inlove: :inlove:

It's tough being young, smart, tough and good looking isn't it. (Well I guess I should rephrase that) It was back then, the young part you know.:D
