How long did you and your DH date before you were married?
[Poll]

Actually married or became engaged? Because I think that matters a little. Some people get a ring pretty quickly but don't actually marry for years.

I like to think our timeline is a bit skewed because we're high school sweethearts, but we dated 8.5 years before our wedding.

You're totally my "I know someone who married their high school sweetheart!" example

At least you have an excuse! We dated 8 yrs. Met in college.

Dated for 1, engaged for 1. So I voted 1-2.

Engaged after 2 1/2 years, married 18months later on our 4 year date-iversary. But we moved in together 4 months into dating (5 months after meeting). We're cuh-razy, y'all.

Rssn, sometimes I think y'all are the bizarro versions of us (DH and me).

we started dating my sophomore year in college and dated 4 years and 3ish months before we got engaged, and were engaged for a year - so we had been together over 5 yeas when we were married.

I voted Other because we dated for 4 months, then I moved to Houston for 2 years and we didn't date during that time.  Then we got back together right before I moved back to Austin, dated for 7 months, engaged for 5 months then married!

thethomps

We got married 1 year and 15 days after we officially started dating.  It totally counts as 1-2 years. 

HSartteach

I voted 4-5 years...but I'm not really sure.  We dated for a year or two (I think) before I started back to school.  He moved to AZ and we broke up.  He moved back and we started dating again.  We officially moved in together (long story) and dated/engaged until I graduated from UT...our wedding was a week after I graduated.

Same for us! Met in college and dated 8 years before getting married.

I voted for 0-1 year - but keep in mind that I am divorced.:)

We dated and got engaged after 3 months, and then got married in 4 more. I am 100% sure that if I moved in with the man first, it would not have lasted six months into it.

friends for almost a year, dated for another 1.5 years and then engaged for another 1.5 years before getting married.
