I'm 29 (will be 30 in March).

We dated for 10.5 months before getting engaged.

We met at work (sat next to each other).

We were engaged for just over a year before getting married.

I change my mind often about wanting kids, and when. Ideally, if we could afford it, we'd aim for spring 2007 but at the moment, we have to decide whether we want a house or kids first.

How long did you date before getting engaged? We've been dating for 2½ years, known each other for 8 more months. We'll be engaged this year, I'm guessing on my 21st birthday in early May or our 3rd anniversary in late August, or somewhere in-between.

How long did you date before getting engaged? for 4 months freshman year of college, then I broke up with him and we didn''t talk for a year and a half, then we were friends for a year, then we dated just over 3 years before getting engaged.

How long did you date before getting engaged? That''s debatable, we''re still not sure when we "started'' dating, but that''s another story, right?

How did you meet your finance? We met playing ultimate frisbee, he had a mad crush on my best friend, and I helped talk him down. He wasn''t attractive to me at alll until he cut his long hair and shaved his beard, then a few drinks, and a smooch, the rest is history.

How long are you going to be engaged before getting married? We will have been engaged 1 year and 8 months. I had to finish grad school first.

How long do you want to wait to have kids? This question is a toughy. I''m already almost too old to have kids! I''m starting to prepare myself for the fact that we might not have them. I''d like to be married for a while before getting pregnant, we just don''t have that kind of time (darn biological clock!) Luckily, I''m a teacher, and am surrounded by amazing kids every day. It''s nice for me to come home to my kid free home. Dogs might just have to do for us.
