We had been dating for two years, one month when we got engaged (started dating 7/1/99 engaged 8/1/01). If 6/1/03 had been a Saturday we would have gotten married that day to keep to the 1st of the month theme (I really wanted a Saturday evening wedding).

Met the 3rd day of college, dated through college, then the one year DH worked, and then got engaged in his 3rd year of med school and married 10 days after he graduated.
almost 4 years - but 3 of those were long distance while he was in HI and I was in DC. I met him while he was stationned at Andrews AFB and he got orders to HI 4 months into dating - we made the decision to date long distance, and when we made it through that time, we knew it was forever.
We were engaged about 9 months - it was basically a formality, since he moved in with me right after coming back from HI.
Re: POLL: How long did you date before engagement?
You take my ovaries, I take your yarns.
We knew each other for about 2 or 3 months before getting engaged. LOL. We were engaged for 1.5 years before getting married, though.

3 years... but by that point we already had a baby together and owned our own home, it wasn't a typical situation.
Baby, house, then marriage -- same result in the end, we just took the alternate route!

About 1.5 years.
We only dated for 4 months when we got engaged but I've known my DH all my life. We grew up in the same small town and our mothers were good friends.
We had a 1 1/2 year long engagement though b/c I wanted to finish college before we got married.

We dated 18 months. But 12 of those we lived on opposite sides of the world.?
But we had known each other 9 years to the day when we were married :-)
