I attended a wedding of a co-league earlier and I remember how shocked I was when I first heard that they were tying the knot, first because they met just 3 months prior, and they only became a couple one month after. NO the girl was not pregnant. That was actually my first reaction and that of our peers but then we learned that she was not having a baby and we were all puzzled at the fast paced development What could they have been thinking why they tied the knot so fast?

That's what we call whirlwind romance. Love is a kind of thing that intoxicates us, thus, we often not think what is logical and what is not. What we feel and what we see in the present is all that matters. Well, just hope for the best of them to come . Who knows their marriage might actually work.Besides there's no guarantee of how to keep a long lasting relationship. Even long planned marriages do not last long. They ended so abruptly that the preparation is considered longer than the actual married life they shared.LOL God bless you, Shattered.:)

True. How much time they spend getting to know each other before marriage becomes irrelevant when they can spend so much more time after it. I just really hope they made the right decision for both their sakes and the sanity of our colleagues! I guess when two people are in love, some things just mean more than others. God Bless you as well. Happy New Year!

Maybe they are truly in love. But they should have taken a little longer time to know each other well before marrying.

That's the common sentiment. A little longer wouldn't hurt right? But then again, no one is really prepared for marriage after all, right?

What about marriage of convenience? Perhaps your colleagues new spouse need to be married because of something. But know what, some people do fell in love at first sight.

Love at first sight? hmmmm I think they have a reason or maybe they are just so in love with each other. I juts don't know what really is going on, but if they are happy what the heck right?

Well I think they were thinking that they are so in love with each other. When love strikes you don't know what will it do to your live and I think they are just both crazy in love with each other then. That's what love can do!

hahaha..why be so shocked as maybe 3 months of knowing each other makes them realized they are meant to be..lol..maybe they feel that they are ready for that situation and want to be together for the rest of their lives..getting married soon is not that when the girl is pregnant or what..getting married is a very serious decisions that comes into our lives and i know they decided to get married soon as they don't want to waste the time of not being together sharing good or bad memories together..as in my side, if im going to meet my man of my life, maybe i will do de same thing if i feel he is the ONE..:)

3 months may indeed be a long time for some. Its just too short for me though! True if they love each other, and are mature enough than 3 month could be more than enough time. If your are meant for each other, your will end up with each other, one way or the other.

It is a little fast,but in today's society,i think it is ok.Anyway,they are not married just a after a few days' of meet. I said this because i have seen and heard many others who get married faster than the couple you mentioned.There is a news says a girl made a new online friend,they enjoyed very much in talking together,and the tempreture between them rise very high,then they got married a couple of days later.I don't want to assess such scrazy things.Because it is filled with scrazy things and scrazy people nowadays. Sometimes i can't believe people make joke of their own marriage.But sometimes even a couple who have been loved each other for 8 years can depart from each other after marriage.So it is hard to say what kind of marriage can last.

I guess its not really how long they know each other but how well right? I agree with you that there so many scary and crazy things out there. But if they truly believe they can work it out, then it doesn't really matter how long they've been together so far as long as they survive longer as a couple thereafter

Wow that does seem a bit way too fast.. Well love is unpredictable and some people even after years somehow are not ready, while others know right away. At any rate I sure hope their love is very strong as it is a bit too soon, but who knows maybe something privately, (illness) of such that perhaps they do not not want to waste time. Good luck to them, as some people can be engaged for over a year and not survive. I sure hope they do.

It may be too fast isn't it? But I do hope they have strong enough bond to make it through. I just can;t figure out their reason though...

hello shattered, Well sometimes lot of unexpected things happen in our life we know that marriage is a sacred vow and life time commitment too maybe they really decided to settle down becoz they really love each other or they have their own reasons. It's not about how long you know the person but how much you feel for them, sometimes those people who been together for so long end up not having each other. :) have a nice day!

It really was unexpected! But you are right, they have their own reasons. I just don't know what I just hope they made the right decision
