3/3.5 years too soon to marry?

DH (to be) and I got engaged on our 3 year anniversary, and plan to get married in the next few months, so we’d be around the 3.5 year mark.

We don’t need long to plan as we want a very small wedding anyway, which is why the engagement is under a year. We’ve lived together for a year, and are both 32. No babies yet.

A friend of mine texted me this evening to say he thinks I’m moving too fast with DH and doesn’t want to come to the wedding. I’m fine with him not attending as it’s his choice but AIBU to think 3 years together is long enough to get married?

Met and married in 12.5 months. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks, if you're happy, go for it😁

I just got married, one week after our 3 year anniversary. You 'friend' doesn't sound like a friend at all, who cares what he thinks? did anyone ask his opinion?

We met and married within 2 years, we celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary this year.

I think there’s more to this friends opinion than they’re saying.

Eww, what a creep! I love that you've essentially just deleted him rather than reacting though. And well done mutual friend too!
