    29 when we got married but 31 when we got engaged :smiley:

    We couldn't afford an engagement ring at the time so DH bought one for me as a surprise a few years later - it was a lovely ring but not really an engagement ring (but I loved it).

    We got engaged the second time when I was pregnant with DS (and we had been married 7 years by then). DH received a bonus from work and bought me a surprise real engagement ring.

    I was 25 and 11.5 months when I got engaged and 27 and 4 months when we got married.

    Just so long as you're "ready" for that, or any other sort of commitment. DH and I had already decided that we were going to be "together forever", the engagement and marriage just made it more difficult to get out of. :D
