That screams desperation, idiocy, or both.

My mother and step father married after 2 weeks, my Father and Step mother married after 2 months. They have all been together for a minimum of 24 yrs.
It can be risky, but part of being married is learning who you are together not apart. So it really doesn't matter how well you think you know each other, because until you are married or living together there is no way you could know everything. Being married changes people and situations. So for some people it is just better this way.

Some people just move faster than others. When you know, you just know. I knew on the first date and he knew after 3 months. We dated a total of 116 days. (first date to wedding day) This April will be 7 years.
My family moves fast when it comes to marriage. In fact the more time we take to make sure we are making the right choice, the marriage usually ends poorly. The people in my family who just jumped in, are still married and happy as a clam. But this is my family, and in general my husband's family is also like this.
For the people who speak poorly of people who move more quickly than most, please don't judge. You don't know the people involved nor what has lead them to where they are to make such choices. Yes, I will agree that sometimes quick marriages fail, but so do long drawn out courtships that lead to marriage. Marriage is based on the people involved, not how they came to be married.

That's a big mistake for sure. Yes, some believe that "true love" can be recognized immediately, and that you "just know" the person is right.
Fact is, you really need to be with someone at least a year, and preferably 2 years, before you decide to many. People change, and a couple of years allows you to see how the person reacts to the ups and downs of life, and how stable and dependable they are.
To me, an immediate marriage like that sounds like being desperate, or just plain ignorance.

I married my hubby 2 months and 11 days later. He ditched his family for me (he had to, they were evil) and a year later we had our first baby. It's been almost 8years now, 3 kids and a house later and things are great. We both just kinda knew at the time that it was what we wanted and his family were so determined to split us up that we knew it was the only way it was going to work (I was 19 he was 26). I guess it's different strokes for different folks. We both knew what we wanted and we went for it. Hope this helps you understand lol!

well its a question you must ask the beholders, alot of reasons could lead up to that moment of commiment. i see it as if they are truely in love and they know it and show it then why not it would have happened anyway but for the ones that are just stupid and caughted up in the love specs then mostly they need to seriously look at what makes them happy and what makes them in love in the long run not the short run

Some people rush into things when they get married, i dont see why you'd do it, but i guess some people feel such a strong connection.
If you're going to spend the rest of your life with someone and get married, why rush it.........you got plenty of time to do it (the rest of your life)

Well though only time can tell what someone is truly about, when someone is the One then why wait? You know when you know. It's up to the discretion of the parties involved.

its sad to say but maybe either they want to have a strong relationship or wants to have a husband or wife. or either they truely are really in love with each other. if it was me i would date for 1 and a half before marriage but thats just me.

i really don't understand that but that is exactly what happened to my aunt and her husband. i guess some people believe in love at first a little too much or are desperate to be married!!
