When you finally find "the one," everything changes. "I" becomes "we," you talk about when to start a family and even consider where you will spend your golden years together. As a rule of thumb, newly-engaged couples usually marry within a year or so. The Knot polled their readers in 2015 which revealed that their average engagement lasted 14.5 months. Brides.com reported that in the United States, engagements last from one to one-and-a-half years.
