          All tolled it was roughly 5 years, with about a year break in there. We moved in together after dating for 4-ish years. But we'd known each other since we were 15.

            We were best friends 7 years before we started dating. We dated 3.5 years before getting engaged, and a year engagement before the wedding. We've been married 3 years now.

                    We got engaged 3 months after we met, and were married within the year. DH and I met a month before the Match, and I think he knew there was no way I was moving cross-country without a rock

                      We dated for 5 years before getting engaged (we met when we were 17, so there was quite a bit of growing up to do!!), were engaged a year, and then got married between 2nd and 3rd years of med school.

                        oh yeah - I think we dated around 6 months and were engaged for about 6 months....but I could be off by a bit...

                            Just 10 months for us, followed by an 11 month engagement. We just celebrated our 8th anniversary. It's hard to believe I've spent almost 1/3 of my life with him at this point.

                              My DH and I will have been together 9 of 30 years this year as well, 1/3 of our life is a lot.
