I'd known him nine days when he asked me to marry him, officially engaged 8 months later, and got married 14 months after that. And we're still together - 20 married years later. Lisa

Val, Is courting still done today...? If not, perhaps it should be.. Peter

Hiyah I knew my hubby 4 month before we got engaged and only 7 before we got married . It worked out we have our 34 th wedding aniversary tomorrow. On the other hand my daughter was with her hubby for 8 years before they tied the knot they are having thier 2nd baby in Sept so I don't think it matters how long you know each other as long as it suits you both.

Peter, you don't hear of people courting these days, don't know when it went out of fashion, perhaps we should ask folks if they courted or not?, this might determine when the phrase was dropped!! Val

We never got engaged either. Were together for about 7 years, decided to get married and three months later we were, no one knew and I went to work in the morning. Had a blessing 12 days later in Madeira. Been married for nearly three years. Ros :-)

We met October 1966, enagaged February 1967, married August 1968. I was 21, he was 25. Still together, still very happy, well I am. I'll ask him when he stops snoring, in front of the tele. lol Linda

I met my wife-to-be at the beginning of September 1999, started going out mid-October, engaged mid-November and married July 2000. I was 25 and she was my first girl-friend...we've been married nearly 5 years and are continually delighted by our first child who is nearly 17 months..and by each other! William
