Average length of engagement

Question

Average length of engagement

Answer 1

My fiance' and I will be married 3 years and 3 days from our engagement date. Ours are extenuating circumstances though. I'd say the average engagement is anywhere from 12 to 18 months.

Answer 2

depends, usually from a couple of months to a year

Answer 3

The average wedding takes 12-18 months to plan so usually an engagement would be at least that long.  

Answer 4

It's up to 17 months according to the data I've seen.  It's probably skewed somewhat by the people who have really long engagements of several years and bring the average up.

Answer 5

It doesn't matter, mine is 10 months.  Congrats!

Answer 6

well there's really no average time. Some people marry within a few months, others a few years. It depends on a lot of things. I'm to be married in 11 wks, we have been engaged for 2 years! But we have friends who have been together for about 6 years, then they got engaged and it's been a further 3 years and they still haven't set a date.

Answer 7

I say 1 yr

Answer 8

Indefinite but usually it is 1 to 2 years.

Answer 9

It seems to be about a year. Usually just long enough to plan the wedding, so it depends upon where you live. For us, we were engaged eight months because we were able to book the priest/church, venue and caterer in a small city.

Answer 10

No Rule..mine was 1 month...16 years and counting

Answer 11

it really can be any length of time- i've known some people that were 15 years, i've known others who were 3 weeks- so its really personal preference- i think for the most part its at least a year if you want a traditional wedding it takes at least a year for all the planning

Answer 12

use this equation to find out

(time you started dating)\ (your average height) x 2 = your average engagement time.

the true answer is that there is no average, its different for everybody my wife and I were engaged for 1 year

Answer 13

not really sure about it....coz even long engagement doesn't work out in the end.

Answer 14

Not sure overall - mine was 15 months

Answer 15

About one year

Answer 16

hm...

I am getting married two years to the day we got engaged

Answer 17

The average is usually 6-12 months. Some engagements are longer and some are shorter. But it's usually 6-12 months because that is the amount of time that it takes to plan a wedding for some people.

good luck to you. :)  

Answer 18

It usually takes about 12 months of planning so I'd say 12-18 months.

Answer 19

about a year
