My husband and I got married on our 6 year anniversary. We had lived together for a little over 3 years before we got married. How long did everyone else date their spouses?

My hubby and I were dating 4 years before we got married. That 4 years is full of happy and sad memories. Sometimes were ok, sometimes not. But in the end, we found ourselves, exchanging vows, and now we're happy with our cute baby girl.

My husband and I met Feb 2, 2005 online. We met in person Feb 6, 2005. We got married on April 22, 2005 and still madly, deeply in love. I guess we knew each other for about 2 1/2 months.

My ex and I were together for 2 years before we got married, started living together about a year after we got together, it lasted 10 years. I have been with my fiance for 5 years now, engaged for 4 of them and been living together from about 2 months into the relationship. We still haven't got around to setting a date for the wedding yet, there is plenty of time for that in the future we are happy as we are for the moment, it will happen when the time is right for us.

My husband and I have been together for a year and a half before we got married. But he proposed to me after a year of dating. We really thought it was a long time already. He surprised me still though because I know how he talk about how he wants to be together already but I never really thought he was that serious about it. I guess we were already both getting impatient about it and Voila! Married last August here in the Philippines. :)

we were seeing eachother for awhile, but only were "together" for 3 months before we got married. We knew it was love at first sight. Since we have been together, we have never been apart.

I also met my husband online in March of 1998. We got engaged in 2000 and married in 2001. We lived together from 1999 until we got married. People thought we were crazy at the time because online relationships were still new, but we are even more in love now then we were back then. It's great!

My husband and I dated for 11 months before we got married. He proposed on September 8th, 2006 and we got married on September 27th, 2006 in Las Vegas. Not much time to plan a wedding but I managed to do it (no, we did NOT get married in one of those cheesy Las Vegas wedding chapels, we had a small outdoor wedding in the gardens of one of the hotels and it was very nice)! My parents and his parents both came and we had an amazing time. I gave birth to our baby girl exactly 4 weeks, to the day, after we got married. It's been quite a year for us!
