Things I learned from this:
- The typical couple takes 3.25 years to go from meeting to engagement
- The industry is in a lull, caused by the pandemic: just 2.4m couples are expected to get engaged this year (vs. 2.8m last year)
Thinking back, I began dating my wife 3 years and 1 month before we got engaged.
