i know a couple who has been engaged for 3 years with no marriage plans in sight. thats odd to me.
recently jake and i re-visited the whole getting married thing and i told him i didnt want to become that. i do think you should be actively getting married after you get engaged, BUT at the same time, id like a longer engagement to factor in like, pre marital counseling. i would want more time not to wedding plan, but just to marriage-plan, i guess.
jake and i have been together for 4 years now. but thats all i go so far, lol.
