    He proposed on the 1 year anniversary from the day we met. It was quick, but we both knew within the first month. Heck we purchased a house together after 8 months...I look back and think "wow I was so crazy" I'm such a type A personality that being that "spontaneous" is not in my nature! ha

    Almost year. And then almost a year later we got married. So we've been together for 5 years and now have one kid, another in the way, and just bought a house!

    Hmm. Our dating is hard to define. I'm going to answer less than 6 months. Engaged for 11 months and married six years next month.

  37. rachiecakes

    coconut / 8279 posts

    We were together almost 11 years before getting married! (will be married 5 years in January)

    For those who think that's a long time, we did move in together after dating for a month, haha - everyone thought we were moving waaay too fast.
    Then there was a long time of "when are you going to get engaged/married???!"
    In 2011 we were married in Jan, pregnant in March and baby by Christmas.
