    I got engaged at 19 in Paris and we have been engaged nearly 2 years.

    Talking about sorting a date for 2 years time - 2009

    Is this rushing? Any advice you can give?

    Hi, I was nearly 18 when we got engaged, had only been together 3mnths,people thought we were mad.
    Got married just before I turned 20yrs,hubby was nearly 22.
    We have now been together for 11years and married 9yrs.
    Have 3 wonderful children.

    My sis on other hand got engaged after nearly 4yrs at 17yrs, then didn't get married for another 6yrs at the age of 23, hubby 26yr.

    I don't think sorting a date for 2yrs time is rushing. I think most book about this far ahead if your in no rush.:D
