Yep we had the same from some people! We started dating dec 2010, got engaged oct 2012 and are getting married nov 2015 so very similar to you. Practically as soon as we got engaged people were asking when the wedding was gonna be. We only set a firm date in Jan this year lol! So you're not alone on this. Just ignore them all and carry on saving and planning hon x

My grandfather said he was surprised that we were waiting as long as we did, although I don't think October 2012 to August 2014 is that long. We might have gone for the previous summer if it wasn't for my parents moving house, and we definitely wanted a summer wedding as one of H2B's friends works in a university in LA, and H2B was keen for him to be able to come. August 2014 was realistically the earliest we could go. We do have money from both sets of parents so saving isn't an issue. My grandfather is desperate to be a great-grandfather, and is 93, so I think he's wanting us all to hurry up. My twin brother married in 2011, and they're in no rush for kids. My younger brother is marrying in May this year, and I don't think they will want kids for a couple of years. I am keen to be a mum sooner rather than later, especially as I turn 32 in August, but I won't be rushing for his sake.

I agree it is no ones business! I have the opposite, we got engaged on the 4th anniversary of our 1st date (3/3/14) and we intend to marry next year. Many people have said we are planning everything to quick but we disagree. We are being practical about it... we would like kids and I would like them to have the same surname as both of us, I am 30 next year and would quite like to have kids in my early 30's (if we are lucky enough to have them). Plus we have already been together 4 years and have bought a house so marriage is the next logical step.

Just ignore them, go at your pace as it is your life!

Ignore them.

Also, I don't think you can win TBH.

We were dating over 5 years when we got engaged, and will have been engaged 3.5 years when we get married. We've had some people make snide comments about having a long engagement, and then we've got other people telling us we shouldn't get married until we can buy our own house (we'll be about 34 when that time comes, so, no, lol).

It's nobody else's business how long you choose to date before getting engaged, or how long you're engaged for. Why people concern themselves so much with other people's relationships is beyond me.

Lol I've been with my h2b for 10 years! I've waited long enough x

Had the same . Got together 2009 , had baby 2011, got engaged shortly after. Getting married 2015. Ph mother was moaning. But even if i had millions would still want it then as we want our daughter to be old enough to have some comprehention of whats going on. Ohs parents offered to loan us money to have it sooner which doubt the would of been able to afford now anyway. Plus would have tryed to take over.

Wow they should meet us, got together 2004, got engaged 2010 and getting married 2015 will have been together 11 years when we get married lol

We started dating in 2009, engaged 2013 and getting married 2015

Thanks ladies :)

Haha I think I win! Started dating in 2000, got engaged 2002, getting married in 11 weeks time!
Don't listen to anyone! It's your life xx

I've not noticed anyone saying anything about our engagement. We got together Sept 2003, engaged Sept 2008 and still haven't officially booked anything yet but we will (hopefully!) book it for June 2016. But if they did, I'd tell them to but out and mind their own business!

Lol we starting dated 1999 got engaged 2002 and getting married 2014 were both 30 now. we use to get it when we were younger as everyone we know has married early 20's. As we always knew we would be together forever we always said since kids we will get married at late 20's. I always get so when you having kids lol and I always think none of your business lol

I had a few comments when we first booked that it was ages away but it's down to price and time to plan things and I still don't think I had enough time! Lol

We met in 2005 got together sept 2008, engaged dec 2010 and married May 3013 x

Originally we were going to have about 4 years between the engagement and marriage. We got engaged in July 2010, but then decided that it would be more beneficial financially to get married whilst I was still at uni knowing I had so much coming in each month, as once I finished I may not have a job which is exactly what has happened. If we had waited for this year, we would not be doing it.

We met in 2006, got engaged in 2009 and are getting married in 2015

we started in end of 2004 engaged in 2007 getting married in 2014 x

^ that is so out of order, my MIL laid the same stick on me, saying "well you don't know who will still be here by then" this a few weeks after my gran died. Totaly pissed me off to the end. Ultimately the only people that matter 100% to me to be there is me, OH and our daughter. everyone, even my mum is a bonus. I mean there health is fine, and even if we were having it this year they could be in a car accident tomorrow so... anything can happen, you just have to hope that life is good.

I had my daughter before we got married and im glad as then she met my gran which means more to me than her seeing me married. she met the next generation.

My MIL offered to pay for my wedding if I brought it forward to this year, she thinks next year is far too long to wait, as she may not be around then, I hate it when people say this to you trying to play with your feelings, it seriously irrates me! We have only been together for 3.5 years and got engaged last October and wanted 2 years between our engagement and wedding so we could save and pay for the wedding we want not what other people want.

My conclusion....... take as long as you want, it's your business not theirs :)

@ InDreamLand I so wish it wasn't, but in my head i've told them time and time again 'butt out'
