  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

1) What age were you when you got engaged? And your spouse? I was 22 and he was 25
2) How long did you date before you were engaged? We dated for about 2.5 years
3) Where was the proposal? Anywhere special? Or did you have an engagement ring? (My mom didn't have one). Well, we went to buy rings together before he actually asked me, and then when they came back from being sized he just asked me while watching TV. But I had already been wearing the ring for a few days. (I just couldn't resist) :blush:
4) How long from the proposal, to the wedding? 3 months, probably wouldn't have been longer if he hadn't been going back to school, so we did it quickly so I could move with him.
5) How many years have you been married? 1 year as of Sept. 27th! :clap:
6) Were you believers then? Yes we both were, but I wasn't when we started dating

That weekend, I was at a confirmation retreat as a chaperone. After I got back, during the week, he hardly spoke to me. I thought he wanted to break up. Then when the moment came, he couldn't talk. He was shaking all over and breathing very heavy. He just pushed the box into my hands. Poor guy, he was that nervous.

1 year and 3 months

We talked about marriage the day we started dating.
We picked a wedding date 1 year and 3 months after that.
He "proposed" with the ring and everything 5 months later.
We had planned our "engagement day" together (his surprise attempts having all failed!). We took a walk in the woods, where he proposed, and then we went to the restaurant together.

4) How long from the proposal, to the wedding?

From our "engagement day" to the wedding, 5 months.
But total we planned the wedding 10 months ahead.

5) How many years have you been married?

Next month, one year!

6) Were you believers then?

Yes, we met in Bible College.
