We met in Oct '99, started dating Dec '99, got engaged Mar '02, married May '03, been happy the whole darn time... Well, let’s not be crazy, MOST of the time.
Mr. chainsaw and I went to premarital counseling (advise of some family members) while we were engaged. We thought it couldn't hurt. We went to three sessions and realized we didn't have any major issues to work out and we got along very well. Honesty and openness are key. We're very alike in a lot of ways, but we have our times, like all married couples. Overall, we are super happy. Wow, that sounded cheesy.
There’s nothing wrong with a long engagement, but give yourselves a goal – 2 to 3 years, whatever fits you – AFTER dating for about 2 years. That’s just my opinion. Good luck, regardless.

I have no life, so I watch movies.
