Moved in after dating and away from all our family and friends: 11 months
Got engaged: few months before 3 years
Engaged for 16 months before we got married
We met when we were 21 and 22, and ended up married at 25 & 26. Our timeline worked us because we wanted to enjoy a large chunk of years enjoying being married and making money before kids came along. We don’t plan on having kids until our early 30s.
We were engaged for 16 months, but we really only actively planned for 7 months. That was plenty of time, mainly because we already had the money saved up and just need to handle the logistics. If money isn’t an issue, you don’t need a long engagement.
