Do you know how long most couples date for before tying the knot?

Wedding website Bridebook.co.uk discovered from a poll of 4,000 couples that there's actually a pretty specific timeframe on important relationship milestones.

The average couple were in a relationship for 4.9 years before getting married. This breaks down as:

• Dated for 1.4 years (17 months) before moving in together.
• Then lived together for 1.83 years (22 months) before getting engaged.
• Then were engaged for 1.67 years (20 months) before getting married.
• The total average time living together before marriage totals to a whole 3.5 years.
• The average number of serious relationships each member of the couple had before marriage = 2.
