My engagement to my wife lasted three years and we were dating for three years before that. We probably would have gotten married sooner but my wife was in college and we wanted to wait until she was done. I, for one, am glad that the total process took six years. By that time, we had experienced each others best and worst moods and knew nearly everything there was to know about each other. We had also moved in together and had know how it was going to be once we got married.
We started getting asked when we were getting married a year into our relationship. We just told them it would be when we are ready. Don't let the nosy people get to you. Just live your life the way you want and get married on your terms.
