It seems that a lot of people are bothered by Felipe and Letizia's short engagement/dating period. My understanding is that they met last fall but really started dating this past spring and became engaged mid-fall of this year. That means they've known each other for a year before their engagement.
I know that's not particularly a long time, but I think as you get older and you become more sure of what you want and need in a relationship, there doesn't need to be years and years put into a relationship for you to know that the person you're with is the right one or not. A woman I work with put 5 years into a relationship before the guy dumped her 2 days before a big family vacation. But the man she is engaged to now, they just celebrated a year together recently, but he had moved in with her earlier this spring when they only met last fall and were engaged this summer. By the time they get married, they will have "only" known each other for 14 months or so. I know we can't be certain of anything in this world, but I really think that as you get older you are more certain of what you want and need in life. When you're younger, that's the point of dating, to see what works for you in a relationship and what doesn't so that when you meet the right person you'll know.

I would say that, in the case of a royal wedding, there is so much planning involved that it takes several months just to accomplish all the preparations. It seems five to six months is about the average time for royal engagements.

Just remember, that's the offical engagement. I'm sure that some of the couples had been informally engaged for a few months at least. (I mean, I know they're royalty, but a huge wedding planned in 4 months?).

Yup. Willem-Alexander and Maxima were already 1 or 2 months engaged before they made it official :)
