Technically M and I did this, but it wasn't a long gap. We'd been deliberately platonic friends for a few months and then sort of stumbled into dating the week after Christmas 1994, and then I told him I wasn't ready to get serious, yet. (It had only been a month since I split with my ex, and I really needed time to myself!)
He dumped me and went off with some other chick, and I moped around in utter misery for the next month. And then we magically hooked back up again once I realized I was being an idiot for passing him up, and have been together ever since.
Truthfully speaking, I still feel like we really did rush things, and even though it turned out well, I did carry a lot of resentment for a while because I felt like he should've been more understanding about my need to be more casual after ending a seven-year relationship. If he really did think I was The One, it wouldn't have killed him to cool his heels for another several months while I got myself together, instead of pushing me to make a commitment before I was ready.
But we were both young and slightly nuts then and things have certainly worked out for the best, so even though our relationship started weird (though not as weird as our wedding was!), I'm just glad it started, and that that initial stumble didn't kill it for good.
