Hahahah yup! but not me, it's a friend of mine.
It really is a shocking news for all of us. She sent me a massage last tuesday saying, "i am getting married this week" civil wedding and to have the church wedding next year... she is a close friend of mine, she broke up with her boyfriend late August this year. We see each other every sunday and talked last sunday (10/12/08)but she never mentioned anything about getting married . She said that she is marrying her boyfriend (for two weeks) she met this guy last month through her friend in college.. a big question why on earth would she marry him so soon??... I asked her why, then her answer was "i want to love and be loved by him forever". How could she say that?.. i asked her many times if she is sure about this or if she just palying a big joke on me, but she answered yes...The guy is working on a Ship and will be leaving next week. I met this guy once but she never even introduced him as her boyfriend... I'm still in shock as of now.lol! i know it's a crazy thing to do, but what can i do?
This happened to one of my friend before same thing, my batch in highschool and the marraige didn't work, they parted ways and married with another. I'm afraid this would happen to my friend now.
Can you believe this? Do you know anyone who had experience this?or have you?
Good day friends c",)

THis is whirl windlove affair and for me its not something that will last, if it true.I dont know but they could have given each other a chance to get to know each other longer than being hasty with getting married with just two weeks of being together.
I just hope they live happily ever after.

I have never experienced such a thing.I still didn't met my love.Its a different issue that a guy and girl meet suddenly and fall in love and decides to live together.So i wish that they live happily ever after..

I hope it all goes well with your friends marriage. You'll never know maybe they were really meant for each other. But also i share your concern. There is a reason for courtship and getting to know each other well before marrying. Marriage is truly not something you jump into. My wife and I were not as prepared as we thought when we got married and the effects of that hasty decision haunts our union till now. What saves us though is that we knew each other for six years before we formally got into courtship. Then we were together for two years before we got married. Married life is a constant state of adjusting and readjusting as well as compromising. The truth is it is only of late that my wife and I started truly getting to know each other after 10 years of married life. Well, there is nothing much you can do for your friend especially if she is so in love with the man she intends to marry. You can only hope and pray that she gets to thinking about what she is getting herself into before it's too late. She is truly rushing things I believe. But then as I said with true love you'll never know. Maybe it will all work out. I'll help you pray for your friend.

Wow, that was FAST! Sometimes those things work out, though. I wonder why they don't wait till they can marry in the church?
I wish her all the best, maybe he really is the one true love of her life. I wouldn't bet on it, but I hope so.

hi mycharm88, its so sad to know about your friend getting married for such a short time, i think she's just making the guy a sort of filling the heartaches cause by her exboyfriend, tell her to take time to think twice a hundred times or a million times to finalize her desire of marrying. i know, she's just dismayed or whatever feelings she's in now. let her leave a day or a week to think.... think.... and please do help her pray to GOD, ask HIM for a miracle before its too late. keep her close to you by now if possible, you are her angel, i do keep a prayer for her too. GOD BLESS.

Hopefully things will work out for your friend. The important thing is to be there to support her either way.

[i]Hi mycharm,
Wow...anyway, hopefully, it will work for them, there are instances also that even for short engagement and relationship, they made it until the end because of love and trust..I don't know anyone but a friend of a friend met her hubby in one restaurant and after introducing to each other, they decided to get married that month! It's funny and risky but they are still together until this time![/i]

Known for two weeks? My friend's parents married after two months, closest I've known. After she hit 18, they divorced. They had nothing in common. After you get married is a heck of a time to find that out. I think people should date at least a year. Take care

it's such a hastily marriage, and that i think either your fren is anxious about marriage or that the guy is simply making fun of her.. Because since the guy is working on a ship, it means he's seldom on the land and he will always be travelling.. For that, for any new couple, nobody will ever agree to marriage based on that, and even for married couples, no wife will wanna see their husband be away for so long..
I guess, your fren is not in the right state of mind, or that she is completely smitten by the guy, and not knowing what she's in for.. U got to warn her b4 it's too late..

Oh, when I am caught off guard, and a friend would suddenly text me this, I usually would ask the typical question like "are you pregnant?". I mean, I wonder why such an individual would hurry into marriage, but hey, I am no skeptic to love. So I also believe that love really exist to some couple who are into whirlwind relationships.
