To be a little concerned...

[KindergartenKop]

About my friend. She's just got engaged to her boyfriend but have only been together for 6 months. Is that really fast or am I being weird?

[TywysogesGymraeg]

We got engaged after 10 days. Married within 4 months. Still together 25 years later.

[ouryve]

Yes it's fast, but some people are faster.

[ollieplimsoles]

My sister moved out with her partner after 4 weeks, engaged within 4 months and pregnant within six!

[bridgetsmummy]

It's fast but some people just know.
I was living with dh after 4 months, engaged 2 months after that and married 10 months later.
14 years & 3 kids later we're very happy

[SaucyJack]

You're being weird to care, certainly.

If it harm none, do what you will.

[magimedi]

Engaged within a month, married within 5 months & just about to celebrate our 30th!

[GlitzAndGigglesx]

Yes it's quick but it doesn't mean failure

[honeyroar]

Why are you concerned?

[Boutonneux]

YABU. It's none of your business

[TheListingAttic]

Faster than average, certainly. Could have been faster! Maybe it'll prove too quick, maybe not. You may as well reserve your energies for things that are yours to control!

It's not weird to care about my friend! But she seems really happy so that's fab!

Fingers crossed she needs a bridesmaid!

My parents met in December, married the following May and had me the following November. That was 33 years ago - still together now

[Momagain1]

Met in February, married in November. 24 years this year. Sometimes you just know.

My first marriage was nearly as quick. Sometimes you don't.

[Momagain1]

Actually, that should say : my first was nearly TWICE as quick.

[Ratfinkandbobo]

My parents were married within 6 months of meeting, have been together 45 years
I must admit it is much more unusual nowadays but only time will tell!

[ShouldIworryornothelp]

My parents got engaged after 6 weeks. They have one of the longest happiest marriages I know of.

[honeysucklejasmine]

Engaged after six months, married after another eight. When you know, you know.

[chelle792]

I've been with OH just under six months. We moved in together after about a month and are planning a wedding to coincide with our one year anniversary. I think when you know, you know.

[StrawberryAndScream]

My sister and BIL met in March, married in September, had their first DC three weeks after their first wedding anniversary and have been married for 28 years.

[silverglitterpisser]

Engaged after 6 months, married after 18. Definitely true that when u know, u know n we were no spring chickens so we just .....went for it! Worked out ok so far .

OP, why does it bother u?

[shewept]

We were engaged after 3 weeks. Married 12 months after. 15th anniversary this year. Yabu ro be concerned based on just this.

[KindergartenKop]

Dh and I were together 6 years when we got married and I'm ultra cautious! Also I was younger. Friend isn't usually impulsive or anything so it must be right!

[emwithme]

I met DH in September and knew by New Year that he was The One. It took him a further 15 months to be ready (he's a couple of years younger than me). If he'd been ready when I was, I can quite easily see us being engaged within 4 months and married soon after.

[StandoutMop]

My dad proposed to my mum after six weeks. Married for 47 years when dad died. (Although mum did turn him down first time and made him wait 3 years ).
