How long should the average engagement period last?

[marcuz]

no more than 3 yrs

Everyone has different circumstances..so to say "whats the average" is entirely subjective to the couple involved...Speaking only for myself, I would like to be engaged no longer than a year..That would hopefully give us enough time to put money aside for a small, intimate affair and honeymoon

12-18 months seems to be the norm with people I know

My cousin and his girl have been "engaged" for nine years. So bad that my aunt tells the rest of the fam that they're married, and when I say something she replies, "Well, Islamically."

babies still coming though, and she loves the Bridezilla shows and shyt

As long as those two people feel like being engaged. It's not for anyone else to decide. Forcing ppl to conform to society's 'norms' is as bad as expecting ppl to perpetuate stereotypes. What happens in a relationship btwn two ppl is their business and they are free to move at their own pace.

Individuals who lack the ability to look past their own nose, believing the world revolves around their perspective kill me.

To each their own....

Lets be real here...anything over 12-18 months is approaching extreme status

I'm female. That post was woman to woman. Stick with a good man that's paid up and then check the coli from your house in Italy. :lowborn: It's always the BROKE guys who whine about gold digging. As if they have anything to dig.

Save for the honeymoon to create memories. All that big wedding shyt is for suckers

For those who pay top dollar for weddings and end up in divorce
