Met at 35. Got engaged two years so later. Married six months after that. Still together eight years since.
We had an Amazon registry. I didn't want to register but he has a HUGE family that likes to buy off registries, so sort of insisted. They got us some nice things! |

| We were both 30 and married at 33 (engaged after two, married about a year later). I was pressured into doing a registry. I'm so glad I waited until I met him. I definitely dodged a few bullets! |

| Met at 30 and 32. Engaged about 15 months later. Married 9 months after that. Yes registry but under pressure from my parents and their friends were the ones that got us actual stuff. We also did a word of mouth favorite charities that our friends contributed to instead |

Very long-term FWB - mostly just friends -and I reconnected after my divorce. I was 32, he was 40. We dated for two years, got engaged, and were married in a very small ceremony (just parents and siblings) six months later. Still happy ten years later.

| ^No registry. We were both high earners and there was really no need. Our guests still brought us gifts, though. |

I was 35. We got "engaged" after a few months and eloped at 9 months.
No registry. Weird question! |
