How old were you when you got engaged?

[BayleysMum]

Hi everyone :wave:

I am just interested in how old you were when you got engaged. I have been looking forward to getting engaged / married since I was so little and I love all the stories people have.

So share them with me!!! If you want to tell me how you got engaged as well I dont mind :) I feel like listening to some romantic stories.

I am 22 and cant wait to the day that I get engaged and married :) but a lot of my friends are not interested at all. Is it weird for a 22 year old to think about getting married??

Anyway I look forward to hearing your stories :smiliedance:

[~Candy~]

I got engaged at 19...none of my friends were interested in marriage, buying a house ect but we sure were :yes:
We got married when I was 20...already buying our 1st house and both working fulltime.
First baby was planned right after my 21st b'day...by the time I was nearly 22, I was well on my way with building my family.

Now...I'm 33, yes we have had rough times, we sold our house as it was too small for our growing family and pets..now happy to rent (been in the same house for 8 yrs...so we don't move about ect..nice and settled)..seperated a cpl of times but never in view to divorse...just needed the break...but all is good, 4 kids, heaps of pets and a 12.5 yr marriage :yelclap:

[Chunkydunks]

21. Got married when I was 24.

[missie_mack]

I was 26. At your age I had no interest in getting married or having children TBH... I was still trying to find my place in life and I sure as hell didn't want to rush into marriage or babies until I had that worked out.

But everyone is different. Make sure you find the perfect husband and father and that they want the same things that you do, and don't settle for second best!

[qldmummy]

I was engaged at 18 and married at 19. We are still together now with 1 DS and one on the way. Extremely happy.

I figured I had met the man I wanted to marry, why should I bother waiting.

[LeeJ]

engaged at 18, married at 19.
had been together since i was 15, and was the right man for me to marry.

have only just had our first bub, still happily married....:yes:

when we got married, my freinds did think i was mad tho...:laughing:

'when you know you know!'

[~Bec~]

The first time I was 25, we were married about 6 months later and divorced 8 years after that.

This time, I was um, 34 I think. We'll get married one day... :rolleyes:

[Mathermy]

:Dancient!

[Mamalicious]

16...well I kinda just went from having a boyfriend to being married, the 'engagement' lasted about a week. :laughing:

It didn't work out either.

[JasmineLouise]

engaged at 22, as yet to be married, and 21 when we bought our first house!! :)

[maisymum]

23 and married at 24 :)

[Skittles]

Met at 17. Engaged at 18. Married at 19. He was 23, 24, 25. Only been married two and a half years so far but things are really good at the moment. Lol makes me laugh at all the people who said it wouldnt even last 6 months

[Chunkydunks]

Yeah I'm laughing too skittles. DH and I met online so a lot of people thought it wouldn't work out.

[tootiredtosleep]

I was engaged at 24, and married just before I was 26. I didn't want kids or a husband until I met DH, he changed my mind.

The actual proposal was very lame and disapointing - he's pretty much kept that up all along.

[nugglyboysmum]

I was 21 when I got engaged. We had discussed getting engaged and I had picked out a ring and put it on layby. Our plan was that DH would propse at my 21st party in front of family and friends, but DH got too excited. One morning I was having a shower and then my naked DH came in, got down on 1 knee and proposed, then jumped in the shower with me!

[Looshkin]

Met at 15 :p

unofficially started living together at 16.
Was proposed to when I was 17 but I said no way, lets just never get married - we don't need no stinkin bit of paper:rolleyes:

Proposed to at 22.
Said yes. Got gorgeous antique saphire and diamond ring that goes with no wedding band and is to chunky to go with any wedding band.

Planned wedding for march just gone, got pregnant, postponed wedding so I wouldn't end up looking like I was having a shot gun wedding 8 years into a relationship..

We are thinking of getting married on the 10.10.10 now.
It is the month (october) of our 10th anniversary so would be fitting.

Plus 101010 is 42 in binary, which also happens to be the answer to life, the universe and everything.
:laughing:
We are massive nerds.

[floodprincess]

We began 'dating' when I was about 17....got officially engaged when I was about 19 (mind you we just kinda evolved from one phase to antoher in our relationship).

DD1 was born just before I turned 21 and we were married the year after.

In about 4 weeks we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary...there have been many ups and downs in our journey, but we've made it together :)

Oh and there was nothing romantic about his proposal.....it came up in conversation and he said well how bout it, and I said, yeah ok :laughing: (mind you once we bought the ring, he did go down on one knee to put it on my finger, in the car park of the local shopping centre:yelclap:)

[3blue&1pink]

Met at 15, had our first son at 16, engaged at 17 (shortly after DS2's birth).. had our third son at 20 and also married at 20, now finishing the family at 21 with DD1 and still happily together.

I laugh as well at all the people who said we would never make it.. and even the people who like to think we are nothing like when we couldn't be any more alike.. we finish each others sentences.. know what one another is feeling just by looking at each other.

[ibb]

Met through friends when i was 16 and thought he was an arogant so and so.

Started seeing each other when i was 19, got engaged the week after i turned 21 (he didn't want to take the spotlight away from my bday)

Married at 23 and been married for 7.5 years. Had our ups and downs but still together and he still makes me laugh!:kiss:

[kimberlee]

First time I was 26 - he asked me to go pick up photos at the shop that he had put in to be developed - last pic was him holding up a sign saying "will you marry me" - broke up 3 yrs later.

Last time - age 30 - I arrived at the airport - cleared customs - walked out the door - he jumped the railing, got down on one knee, sang a song that he wrote for me asking me to marry him with a ring and flowers and a huge audience as I was one of the first off the plane...
we had known each other 6 months - married 6 months later, pregnant 6 months after the wedding with first daughter..
he's my soul mate for sure.
(these were 2 different guys - just realized that might not be clear...)

[bada]

First time around, 18 and that was one big flop so I guess it doesn't really count! :p

This time around my real DF proposed on my 26th birthday which was also his 23rd birthday! This time it's for real!

[Pixie]

32 lol happened a few weeks ago and we're getting married in 4 weeks. We've been together for a while now and two kids we thought we should get on with it lol


I keep saying bet we're divorced before our 1st anniversary lol

[loving6]

[teenie]

I was 21 when we got engaged. We'd been together for 5 months. 23 when we got married.

We've been married for 8 years, together for 10, have a gorgeous son and are about to have another baby. He is the love of my life - the dearest, funniest, sweetest most kind-hearted man alive:valentine:.

[jess_live_die]

haha ive been asked 3 time lol once wen i was 14 lol of course i said no

the 2nd when i was 19 and said not sure and the 3rd at 21 and said yes what a freakin mistake that was

[BayleysMum]

Hi again everyone, :wave:

I just wanted to say that the stories that I read about couples marrying young and now having been together for many years are amazing. I loved reading all your stories :)

I cant see myself getting engaged or married for a few years yet, but I am so excited for it to be my turn. :laughing:

I wish everyone much happiness with their relationships and good luck to those that are getting married soon.

[TripleTime]

Starting seeing each other Nov 07, engaged March 08, kids due June 09 & wedding Sept 10.

I've been engaged before & ended that one with a bang & a 'I never want to see you a again' & vowed to myself i wouldnt do it again. When i met DF everything changed & i couldnt more happy.

[Areca]

Met two days after I turned 15, had DD1 at 22, got engaged at 23, found out I was pregnant two weeks later. Got married on our 9th anniversary, 4 months after the engagement. I had just turned 24 two days earlier.

[lolly137]

We met at 15, were friends at 16, best friends at 17, started dating at 18, engaged at at 19, married at 20.6 (me) & 21.3 (him), kids started arriving at almost 24. Been together 10yrs in May, married 8 in Oct

Engagement ring was an antique Diamond & Ruby design which has the significance of being both of our birth stones.

Actually got told by my cousin in front of hubby-to-be, "that i should be sleeping around rather than getting married, your wasting your life". Hubby almost decked him for that.

[staceylee]

We got together when we were 16, then engaged at 17 (the night of my yr 12 prom!) and married at 18 and expecting baby #1 at 24.

[Pregnor]

We met in Dec 06 (23) when went on holidays to visit a friend from uni in Qld (his sister! :eek:) then we got together in Feb, when he moved back to perth to be with me... got engaged Sept 07, bought a house Oct 07, got pregnant April 08 (24) had our little boy in Dec 08 (25). Just before we found out I was preg we were going to elope to singapore on my 25th bday, but our little boy had other plans.
I wouldnt have it any other way though :cloud9:

We will get married.... one day!

[borntobemummy]

we were both 18 when we got engaged and I was 19 and he was 20 when we got married:D

[Amara]

Engaged at 24. Married at 25. Together 2 years before we got married but were living together within 6 months. Thirteen years together in total - the last 3 were not good. Separated after 11 years of marriage.

Engaged at 40. Wont be getting married though cos we have now split.

Don't think there will be a third engagement.

[*~alegna~*]

we were both 18 when we got engaged and I was 19 and he was 20 when we got married:D

SAME! It is our 6th Wedding Anniversary today!:yelclap::valentine:

[hales83]

Bought our first house at 23, engaged at 24. Been married almost 8 months :D

[hakuna matata]

So much love in the air!!!!

Started dating DF when I was 16, he proposed 10 days after my 19th birthday, getting maried in November next year (I will be 21)

I know people say we are too young, but when you see us together you can tell, we are soul mates:valentine:

He is my best friend, and I cannot wait to marry him

[peanutbutter&jelly]

Have known DF since I was 12 or 13, started going out at 17. Engaged (with a promise ring since neither of us were working at the time) on our 1 year anni. A few months after that we were both working and discovered I was pregnant with DS. My ring still hasn't been replaced, though it will be by the end of next year - its something we've discussed and agreed on, there are more important things to us at the moment, adding to our family and saving money so we actually have an emergency stash... At the moment I want a very light aquamarine with three diamons on either side. It changes constantly, I really want to decide on what I want before we make such a huge purchase :laughing: :D

Wedding... well, as I keep saying. We'll get there eventually. I think we'll be like 30 though by the time it actually happens (which only seems like a long way off... because it is. I'll be 21 in October lol)

[MumOf4Monsters]

I was engaged when i was 16 and got married 5 weeks after my 17th birthday. we now have 4 kids and will celebrate our 10th wedding aniversary this year! :cloud9:

[meandmymum]

14 Years - Started dating
16 Years - Moved in together
17 Years - 1st Child born
19 Years - Engaged
20 Years - 2nd Child and hoping to get married at some point

We didn't really do anything exciting when he proposed, he bought the ring on NYE and was going to propose at the fireworks but it just wasn't right, bought flowers and was going to do it on a picnic on NYD but the weather was bad, then he wanted to take me to the beach but it never happened so 2.5 months later he gave up and came home one day with lots of flowers, choccies and drinks and told me to put DD to bed as we needed to talk.

[dormouse]

Met him at 16, dated for a couple of months then split up, started dating again at 17, got engaged at 18, bought our first house at 19, got married at 21 & fell pregnant with DD on our honeymoon.
We got married 4 years & 1 day after we started dating (the second time round, I don't count the first time) & in Novemeber, we will celebrate 9 years together & 5 years of marriage. We are now 26 with 2 kiddies & still very happy!

[content mumma]

Engaged at 21 and married at 22. We bought our house together at 20. It didn't really seem young at the time but looking back it seems young :)

Oh well. We've been happily married ever since.

[onabreak]

I got engaged at 20 married at 21 back in 1999. Divorced 2 years later at 23 because he left me for my best friend.

I got engaged again at 27 and married at 27. We got married 7 months after getting engaged. This November we will be married for 5 years.

First marriage was a big mistake LOL!!! :laughing:

[Shazza]

Hey :wave:

We met when I was 17, engaged when I was 20, married when I was 23 and had first bub when I was 25. DH is only 2 years older than me.

these were pretty much the ages I was thinking about as I was growing up. Wanted to have all my kids by the time I hit 30/31.

I don't think it's strange that you've been thinking about it at all. But maybe that's cause I was the same :laughing: Nothing wrong with some short/long term planning!

Cheers, Shaz :)

[Pax]

15/16 the first husband
30 the second time...:D

[MummasPrinces]

I got engaged at 19. :doh: Biggest mistake of my life and I'm very glad we never made it down the aisle! I'm thankful for the son I got out of the relationship though.

Having said that though, I never wish to be engaged again, or get married. He has completely put me off the entire idea! I much prefer the idea of a spiritual marriage than one based on a big day, lots of money and piece of paper iykwim. (Not meaning to offend anyone here either! :o)

[little_froglette]

built first house at 20, engaged at 21..

[Herchy]

Engaged at 24 (after being together 5 years) and married 4 months later ( I turned 25 in the middle somewhere).
Always wanted to have had all my kids by 30 (I'm done now at 25).

[PippaG]

Engaged at 20 after being together 3 months, and then married at 22.

[Tam-I-Am]

I was engaged at 18 years of age, and married at 23, 3 days after our 5th anniversary of being together. We've just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary, so we've been together for a decade! :eek: :D

[sockstealingpoltergeist]

I was 16 the first time, and 24 the second time.

[Beckybug]

I got engaged at 21, married at 22, DH and I met on the 14th September 2007 and it all went from there. We moved in together on the 15th February 2008, got engaged on the 11th March 2008 and married on the 21st march 2009!

DH is my only my 2nd serious relationship I've ever had. He finds that hard to believe!

[BigRedV]

DF and I were 31. We've been engaged not even a year yet. We did things the wrong way round :D bought a house, had baby, got engaged, bought a bigger house. We met when we were 28.

I travelled the world. I went to uni when I finished school, worked for a few years then went to London when I was 24 and lived there for 4 years then came back home and met DF!!!

[IndigoJ]

DF and i met in Jan 2007, moved in together Feb 2007 was pregnant with DS July 07, engaged October 2007(I turned 21 on the 1st of October, he was 24), had DS April 2008, our wedding is on 30th October 2010.

[RockmelonDreams]

I was 18 when I got engaged and 18 when I first got married. Divorced at 23 and engaged again at 25 & married again at 27 :)

[Leisa21]

I was engaged at 19 and married at 20. I'm 22, been married for 2 years almost. I never wanted to get married early. I wanted children and a husband but not at 20 but then I met Andrew and partying and spending money on clothes and material things didn't matter anymore, all I wanted was a family with the man I loved. I would have married him after our first date if I could have.

[LoveMyBoys]

I was engaged at 18, married at 19.......have now been married for almost 7yrs :)

[mother of six]

[Emi]

hi,

i dont think its wiered at all!!!

we havent set a date yet though!

[lilmizamy]

we met when i 20, he proposed on my 21st and we have planned teh wedding for the 10th of the 10th 2010.

[mimsie]

I got engaged when I was about 8 months pregnant, aged 17. No one took it seriously at all, except my parents who DH asked permission of before he asked me (he was almost 20). When DS was born the nurses laughed at me and my little ring.

Anyway we got married 3 months after my 18th birthday, in the May of the following year (so engaged 11 months). We're now older as ou can see down there, lol and it'll be our 10 year anniversary next year.

Just like to say, it's been frikking hard sometimes, especially early on (us young, 2 babies to look after as our 2nd was born when I was 19 etc) but it's awesome now and we really feel like we just lucked out and met our soulmate super early in our lives :o


eta you should have seen the look on the nurses' faces when we went in to have number 2 - married, still together and very happy, lol. dh and ds have unusual names that they remembered.

[Ardentwhispers]

It's really surprising to see so many people were married young!

I was engaged when I was 16 and married a year later at 17 :rolleyes:. Seperated at 18!

Biggest mistake of my life! (aside from the fact that I had my son..which was the best part of my life to date).

That was over 10 years ago and in a way I don't count it now...I feel I am a completely different person living a completely different life.

[Baldie's Mum]

Engaged at 19 and married at 21!

[missie_mack]

I say 25 and DH thinks it was more 26. We got married a few months later

[Teegzie]

We got engaged this year, and I'm 26. We've been together for almost 5 years and have a 1 and 1/2 year old daughter. In fact we got engaged 1 month before we found out we were expecting #2! :D

[maisymum]

23....married at 24 been together 19 years :valentine:

[missmilliesmum]

Met and became friends when I was 17 and he was 20.

Started dating when I was 19 and he was 22.

Bought our first house when I was 22 and he was 25.

Engaged (Finally! A running joke between all our friends who all met, got engaged and married before we even got engaged!) when I was 24 and he was 27.

Married 2 weeks after my 26th Birthday! DH was 29.

Our first daugher was born when I was 27 and Dh was 30.

Expecting our second child now! I will be 29 when he/she is born and DH will be 32.

(DH proposed on a private beach on the SA coast where his family have a holiday house where we were staying. Got down on one knee and gave me a beautiful ring! Then lead me to a lovely picnic with prawns and champagne (My favourite!) It was worth the 6 1/2 year wait in the end ;) !)

[youngmumof3wa]

We meet when I was 13, engaged, married and bought our home at 19 had first baby when I was 20.

We now have three kids and have been together for over 11 years and have been married 5 years this December. :)

[purska]

. I didn't want kids or a husband until I met DH, he changed my mind.
20 and married ten mths later at 21
THE BEST DECISION EVER!!!!:yelclap:

[lil miss]

I got engaged when i was 17 and dp was 21, we had only been together 3 months. we had our first baby when i was 18 and when she was a year old, we split for 10 months. i am now 21 and we are back together going strong. Im not sure if i want to get engaged again, as i think i need to piece of paper to tell me we love each other, but we have spoken about a 'commitment ceromony' down the track instead of a propper wedding. its pretty much the wedding without all the stress and legal mumbo jumbo. i may change my mind in the future, but im no hurry now.

[mandi24]

Got engaged at 26 (only 4 weeks ago) after being together 6 and a half years with 2 kids. Planning on getting married in 2 years.

[mummajugs]

May this yr, so i was 21. and we are planning a 2012 wedding :)

[mimsie]

I got engaged exactly a year after we met, 6 months pregnant, on my mum's birthday, lol. I was 17 and now DH was 19. We got married the following May, in 2000 (had to wait for me to turn 18 because you can't get married underage in NSW now - or couldn't then - even with parental consent). We've been married now for 9.5 years :)

DD wants us to do it again because she's jealous as anything that DS got to be there (he was 10 months old and remembers nothing, mind you but that doesn't matter to her).

[SquishyWishy]

We started going out when I was 22 and DH was 25. Then we got engaged 3.5 years later at 26 and 29. Have now been married for 2 weeks at 27 and 30.

I previously was engaged to a boy at 21 yrs old... we had been seeing each other since age 16. But I was not ready for all that back then. Probably just wasn't the right person.

[1+1=5]

DH proposed on my 21st :). our engagement story was in Take5 in September ;)

[TripleTime]

DH proposed on my 21st :). our engagement story was in Take5 in September ;)

he proposed when we were walking along the Paramatta river we had booked a night at a hotel for our anniversary
we got married a year later when I was 20 he was 22
his parents freaked out, people said we were way to young
we were the first of our friends to get married, our friends who were together longer than us got shirty at us, and some people sat at our wedding and actually took bets how long we'd last whist the ceremony was happening
now we are coming up to our 8th wedding aniversary and have a four month old DD.
We have gone through family deaths, infertility, and cancer and still strong :)

Together at 20, purchased first place at 22, engaged at 25, married at 26, 1st bub at 29
So at your age we were very much in settling down mode, at the same age from friends would have been split 50/50 between settling & not

[ChelsLuke]

Met at 15 he was 19. Were good friends through my work he was a customer, At 16 I asked him out he refused. Stopped talking to each other haha

I moved to his town at 16.5, at 17 (02) he asked me out. I said yup yup yup.

Got pregnant 4 months later. Moved into togehter the day we found out I was pregnant as his brother kicked him outa his house. Got engaged at 17 yrs 9ish month (Adelaide Cup day before it was placed in March). Had Chels at 18 years 2 wk. Got Married April 18th 2004, had Luke April 18th 2005. Had Aaron 4 years later, and now TTC #4. Our marraige is up and down. But its been a whirl wind for us and have had alot of family issues, his borther and his Brothers wife nad her family dont like me and have tried to continually break us up. All cos he married me and not her sister. so stupid.

But we ahve been together for 7 and a bit years. Have the 7 yr itch but i figure we will make it. We both have too much to loose if we dont.

I figure age is nothing but a number, as long as you are happy and it feels right. "Whats worth the prize is always worth the fight.'' Good luck i wish you all teh happiness nad hope it happens for you and works out well

[JATS]

Engaged at 19, a fortnight before our 1 yr 'first date' anniversary, we'd been living together 7 months. We got married at 21, first bub at 23.

[poppie]

Engaged at 28, married at 29, DD1 at 30, DD2 at 32.

I was off traveling the world and working at 22, having the time of my life! Why rush things? I too wanted to get married but I was happy to wait. I am sooooo glad that I traveled everywhere I wanted to whilst I was single and child free.

I love being a SAHM now and have no regrets. Just see what happens, it all depends when you meet Mr Right!

[BayleysMum]

Congratulations to those who got married at such a young age and are now celebrating 5 and 10 year wedding anniversaries! It is really inspirational. I have known my partner since just before I was 13. We were very close and started dating when we were both 17. We had our first baby just before we were 20, our second at 21 and will be having our third at 23 :) We have been through so much together but now we know we will be able to make it through marriage. He proposed to me when I was pregnant with our first because he felt he had to. We didnt tell many people which is good because now we are going to start over and do it right. I am glad that we had kids young as we have so much more than all our friends. It made us grow up, and work hard so that we could buy a house and give our babies a good life.

I cant wait to get engaged and married. It will really make us feel like a real family. I'm pretty sure we wont be getting married until around our 10 year anniversary though. But I will only be 27! I actually feel proud now to have waited so long :)

[oleander]

The first time I got engaged I was 17. Dp and i had been together for about 3 months, and had been living together since 1 week after we started dating. We split for a year in 2008 and reunited in 2009. We recently welcomed our 2nd baby girl.

We are engaged again, although we havent made it official. Dp wants to ask my grandfather (who raised me) for his permission first. Things are a lot different this time. We are both more mature and know what we want in life. We have pretty much planned the major details of the wedding already and hehasnt even officially propoed yet :laughing:
