Congratulations!

My rents were married after only nine weeks and they've been married for twenty-six years. Like many married couples they've had their ups and downs, but they're still together.

Relationship Timeline

Week 1: Initial meeting at an ATOT-er's house, dating commences
Week 2: Dating continues, at the end of the week he asks me to be his girlfriend
Week 3: Intimacies and those three little words are exchanged (I've never fallen in love, ever... until him, until now)
Week 4: More dating/spending time together
Week 5: 10 days spent in New Mexico with his family (USC's Spring Break, my
first vacation from work in almost 2 years)
Week 6: He asks me to be his wife, and I accept his proposal... rings are exchanged
Week 7 (current): Plans are in the works for him to fly to Dallas with me to meet my family April 8-11... hopefully all will go well, and that my family will accept/approve of him

:heart:



:beer: for schizoid


Engaged after 6 weeks? Dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Ok....good for you if this works...but are you kidding?

You fell in love in 3 weeks? Thats not love sista, thats infatuation. I had a long, serious relationship with a girl, and I "thought" I was in love with her after a few weeks, thought about telling her as such, but refrained, and in the end I'm glad I did, because when I really DID fall in love with her it was a much different thing than the initial infatuation. I didn't know that I was REALLY in love with her for several months. You might want to slow down there cheetah.

Wait, what about the tap dancer? Won't he get mad and break a toaster or something?

Dez, congrats. I don't mean it in a bad way but I hope you both know what you're doing.

There are some grounds for worries because he's a first year college student. Parties, girls, school, ... to be honest, he's too young for marriage (I hope you're not the jealous type). There is a whole life to live ahead of him -- and a career to establish. Remember divorce is a headache and 60% of all marriages fail in California. Best of luck to you!

Six weeks isn't that shocking. Did you totally skip over:

Week 3: Intimacies...



Who cares what people say, I know plenty of folks who got married within 3 months even and are together after 25 up to 50 years in one case.

Seems the more time people spend together BEFORE they are married, they stay married not as long as it would seem (higher divorce rater after living together and stuff).

My only question is, why do people get engaged and wait so long to get married? I know a few girls who took 2, sometimes 3 years before getting married after they were engaged. I always figured, if you're engaged you'd get married within just enough time to arrange it all (3 months max maybe?).

Congrats! 6 weeks doesn't really seem long enough to me, but it could work I guess.
