We were together for 9 years before getting married, but it is because we met my freshman year in high school and got married 1 year after graduating from college. For financial reasons, we could not get married sooner. If we had met later in life then we would not have waited so long to get married. We have been married for 9 years and together for 18.
We were together 3.5 years before getting married because we wanted to save for the wedding and I was still in college. We did get engaged 15 months after we started dating which a lot of people would think was quick I guess.

Re: Because i have to get the last word...
How long were you together before you got married? Almost exactly 1 year.
Was that a crazy idea? It's worked out pretty well for us. We'll celebrate 9 years of marriage in September.
Would i go back and change it if i could? No way.
Together 7 years before marriage, lived together 2 of those years. Now married for 3 years.
High school sweethearts ... aww!
1. 7 years
2. No, because we met as teenagers
3. No!
