theres no right time as in weeks, months or wotever. It's when you feel right! A good tip though, and trust me on this one-the longer you wait the better it wil be. If he's really interested time isnt important. it's good not to plan these things as it will come natrually!

My husband and I walked down the isle together.  The tradition of the father walking you down the isle is from when marriages were arranged.  We wanted to symbolize that we as a couple were giving ourselves to one another.\n\nGet together with your fiance's parents and your parents and see who is willing to pay for what.  This would also be a good time to tell them what you and your fiance are thinking about for your wedding.  Have a rough estimate for cost etc.  They will also need to figure out their guest lists.  The more they pay for the more input they will want in the wedding.\n\nGood luck and remember the day is for you and your husband!

My husband and I met in late October 2004.  Within two weeks, I knew we were going to marry.  We moved in together almost immediately.  Although, I did keep my apartment until we were married, but never went there.  We took several road trips together.  We were engaged on May 13, 2005, and married on July 27, 2005. We are expecting our first child in October of this year.  I cannot imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone  else.  We are both 28 years old.  I have never been married, though have been engaged a couple of times.  I have never been more cetain of anyone or anything in my whole life.  Yes, we get on each other's nerves every now and again, but Phillip is my family, my best friend, my lover and husband.  I can tell him everything and talk to him about anything.  I have no doubts, regardless of what may come, we can work it out.  For me, divorce is never an option.  I will stand by Phillip whatever comes because I care about him and I am certain he will never purposely hurt me.  I would rather experience the grandest love and then lose it than never have known it at all.  I say go for it.  If you feel it deep inside yourself, take your love as far as you can.

From what I understand, it can be planned in a year's time.  You can find wedding planners that give you step by step instructions on what to do each much, so you won't get overwhelmed.  But on another token, I've seen people get engaged and wait at least two year or so, to get their debts caught up and all so they can actually have a 'fresh start'.  Good luck.

Boy, can I relate!  I am from NY and my fiance is from Ohio.  We talked for a year online, then met in person.  We dated exclusively from that point on.  Granted, we only saw each other about one weekend a month, he proposed almost 2 years after we started officially dating, and a year later I moved to Ohio.  (that was in january)  We've been together a little over 3 years and are getting married next week.  So, it can work, however, you're not engaged yet in my opinion.  You definately HAVE to meet the person and get to know the real person before you make that kind of lifelong commitment.  I've run across a lot of guys online that weren't who they said they were, so it is VERY important to get to know the real person first.  Good luck!

It is way too early to even think about marriage. You need to wait at least another year. If everything is as it should be, then marry him, if he asks you that is. Good Luck........don't rush it!

The two of you married in front of a judge in Feb.? You must be in a state that allows marriages around 17. I really don't see how you two got married without parents finding out. Seems you both are not serious about this marriage and was to young to start with since the way you put it that you might get back together. My advise is talk with your parents about this...

The others are right, keep communicating is the key, and it takes two committed persons to do it. It won't be easy, but if you love each other, a few months is nothing. I was in long distance with my fiancee for over a year before we were together. Now we'll be getting married next month!\n\nMake sure you keep an interest on what's happening to each other while you're apart (who you're hanging out with, what's stressing you out, etc). And try to cultivate some common interest so you don't run out of things (sports, movies, tv shows, etc) to talk about. If you both like to write, I found writing long emails a great way to keep in touch. It takes a little more effort but it can be well appreciated.\n\nBest of luck to you both!

If you are postponing proposing I'd say you aren't yet ready to take the step of getting married. It takes a lot of courage to admit that. It doesn't mean you don't love her. I imagine you do love her. You just aren't ready to take the step of getting engaged. If she's truly ready and you are not, then you need to talk about it. You may have to set her free if you don't think you'll be ready for a long, long time. You both need to be honest with each other about what you want out of this relationship and act accordingly.\n\nAlso, talk to God. Pour your heart out to Him. Ask Him if marriage with this woman is what He wants you to do with your life. Listen with all your heart and soul for His loving guidance. God Bless.

It depands on the couple's level of maturity.  If he pops the question, tell him that you would prefer a long engagement.  This will give you both a chance to grow with each other and find out it it is right.  I wouldn't get married just yet...  heck, you are only 18, you can wait a year or two...

I was so tired after my wedding I didn't know what to do with myself, so was my husband.  I would wait til at least the next day.  We got married on Saturday and left on Monday, because it was cheaper to fly that day.  Sunday we took care of some loose ends and gave the money to my mom to deposit at the bank on Monday.  Good luck

He knows, you know, you both know that is going to happen. You just have to be patient and wait. He knows that you are the one for him and if you have already discussed marriage and children, then it's a clear indication that it's going to happen soon.\n\nMen that don't commit won't even mention the "m" word and will back off at the minimum indication of getting too close or too serious. He is not scared about discussing marriage with you because you are the one for him. \n\nDon't set deadlines or ultimatums or conditions for it to happen, they are NOT necesary. Accorduing to what you wrote, he is planning on doing it so don't spoil his plans by becoming frustrated and impatient.\n\nMost couples get engaged by their second anniversary, besides, Christmas, New years and Valentine's day are around the corner too, you might be in for a surprise.\n\nMy advice to you is to wait until your second anniversary before becoming anxious. It's not necesary for you to feel this way, you have the perfect man, ther perfect relationship, so don;t ruin it by becoming irritated. \n\nHe will ask you and there is no question about it, wait a little bit more... proposals are way more romantic when they are a surprise and men really love plan something special and having the perfect ring ... let him give you what you deserve ...let him surprise you and enjoy the relationship. \n\nHe is THE ONE sweetie... be patient.\n\nCongratulations and good luck!

Lots of factors - like how old you are, what is the status of your relationship, what is the stage of your relationship right now, how serious both of you are with each other, etc.  If you're still young, it may not be advisable to move in with him there.  Are you already engaged and marriage is in your plans?  Can you both work out a win-win plan?  I think a move that will affect both of you must be decided by both of you, and not just him.  He should have asked your thoughts on the matter, considering that he expect you to be there.  Weigh all these considerations and decide the best.
