I would have never married a woman desperate enough to marry the likes of me after only a couple of months.

Haha!

My parents! They knew each other about 10 days when my dad proposed and she accepted about 4 days later. They were married about two months later. They will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary next year--all the siblings are going on an Alaskan cruise with them to celebrate.

My sister and her husband got married 3 months after meeting.
6 months later their first child was born.

It must have been a great first date!

The first baby comes whenever it wants. The rest take 9 months.

We went on our first date June 12 and married November 28th, so less than 6 months. We will be married 26 years this November.

Have you ever known anyone who has gotten married really early into the relationship? I'm talking like 2 or 3 months after meeting. How did it work out?

Have you ever done this yourself?

Yes,my sister and going strong for 25yrs. They married dating only 4mos.

We met in early Jan., starting talking about getting married in late Feb, and married in May. We've been married 21 years now. It was a long distance relationship, he was in the military at the time, so we spent a lot of time on the phone, letters and weekend visits thinking we really we were really getting to know each other. He was getting ready to deploy and we were planning our wedding for when he came back a year later. We went out to Vegas with friends for their last hurrah before deployment when he asked if I wanted to get married right then instead of waiting, so I said yes and we went off to the courthouse for the license, mall for a ring and then a chapel for the wedding. Everyone was SHOCKED when we got home. His deployment was either postponed or canceled can't remember now but it took a few months before we were finally able to get a place and finally start our married life. We both know how it could've been a lot different but we are so glad its all worked out. I love him more today than I could've ever imagined I would back then.

We started dating April 1, 1989, engaged November 1989, married May 1990. These are the days of real mail and phone calls. No email or Skype.

But we were states apart for most of it.

Dated - April to early May 1989. Then he stayed in IN, I went home to NJ.
September - December 1989. He was in VA, I returned to IN.
December 1989 - January 1990. We were both in VA!
February 1990 - June 1990. He was in VA, I was in NJ.

We got married, spent the summer together in IN, then he went back to VA while I did my student teaching in IN. Finally together in January 1991! Married 28 years this past weekend.

That’s exactly what I experienced on my first date with my husband...why did it take so long to find you...and our first date was perfect. We can now walk to that restaurant in fact

My husband and I met when he was 21 and I was 18, we only dated a week (it was a summer festival we were at so we just kind of spent the week together after meeting) and I messed it up (long story) yet, I kind of knew...

We both married and divorced other people and started seeing each other again 6 years ago.

Our first date we are sitting there, talking, connecting, pouring out our souls, when he pauses suddenly and looks me dead and the eye and says "How did THIS take 15 years...?"

1st husband— dated for a year, got engaged, married 8 Months later. Divorced.

2nd husband— 1st date October 26th, engaged December 15th, married February 9th (15 weeks total) still together 12 years and 4 kids later

Less than a year since we met, 8 months after we started long distance dating, 4 months after dating in person. Going on 9 years married this September, still deliriously in love and feel lucky every day. Didn't plan it that way, had actually given up on the dating game and was focusing on work when we met. I figured it was cosmic timing as we met in the very last place I ever thought I'd find a husband. We might have gotten married earlier except for the 4+ months living 1000 miles apart.

DH knew he was going to marry me the moment we met. Started dating 11 months later. Engaged 6 months later. Married 111 days later. From dating to marriage it was just under 10 months. He was 22 and I was 21. Been married for almost 18 years.

Wellllllllll..........one of my maternal cousins married an adult entertainer (AKA stripper) soon after meeting at her place of employment to the nth.
And nooo she wasn't doing this to fund her law school education.
It was a tumultuous relationship to say the least and merely reaffirmed what I'd thought about him since I was a child: not wrapped too tight.

Me? Heckenspeck, no.

 

[jdb in AZ]

I knew the first time I saw DH. "Just one look, that's all it took." Spent nearly a year reeling him in, then got hitched 3 mos later. That was 42 years ago.

My grandparents were married the third day after they met. They were married more than fifty years when they died.
