For how long can you be a fiancée? I mean, is there a maximum of time since you're proposed til you really get married?

I think when someone's been engaged for like 4 years+ I'm like, where da wedding at. Can you guys invite me already so I can get my wardrobe together

I don't see a point to making rules about these things. Let people do what they want. Some people/situations are unique.

A culturally appropriate time for me would be a year, max. Beyond a year imo is too long. I think I was engaged somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 months.

I don't know, how long until you drag me down the aisle? Really nah, whatever feels right

I'd say a yr after is fair. Any longer and you have to wonder if there's something wrong. I had two friends who were engaged for 5 yrs and ended up splitting up. In America its called shit or get off the pot😆😁

Technically limitless... but I suppose after 3 years I'd be asking what the barrier is.

There is no maximum amount of time (I was engaged for several years before getting married), but if it is just stretching out indefinitely, you may want to have a discussion with your partner about deciding on something. That's up to the people in the relationship, though.

My husband proposed in august, we planned to get married the following June… but couldn’t wait and got married in January. I’m sure if we were living together we could have waited longer, but we really wanted to start our lives together ASAP. And as you know, me having extremely old fashioned prents, that could not happen until the government gave its seal of approval.

The local culture here would advise you to plan the marriage taking place within a year after proposing. The second year it should take place the longest. Tbh I could not care less. Just ask me if I want to marry you too.
