WOW. it amazes me that you're getting married after one year! Not that it's good or bad, it
s just so strange to me. My relationship with Fh was COMPLETELY different whenw e were only dating a year or two than it is now.

i agree its a little 'off' to marry someone after only a year. but, fh and ii knew that we were going to get married after only a few months. we didn't then (obviously) b/c of $$ reasons. i say more power to you goldi.

Yeah, it's definitely awesome. Just looking back, I feel like, in comparison, you barely know the person...but I'm sure at the 10 year mark, I'll feel that way about the 6 year mark I'm approaching, too. hat's what's great, you get closer and closer as the years pass.

Thank you SMM. I don't think it is 'OFF' at all to marry someone after ANY amount of time. If you know that the other person is the one, then you know.

FYI I am not a 'young' bride by the standards of these boards. I am going to be close to 36 by the time I get married as will FH. I have plenty of dating and enough life experience to know what I need and want in a person to spend the rest of my life with. I also know what I DON'T need and want in a person which may be even more important. FH, being an older and more established man (both financially and educationally as well as emotionally and socially) is more prepared to be a far better husband than he was 10 or more years ago. I could say the same for myself as a future wife.

I wanted a mensch and I got one. He STILL opens doors for me. He holds my hand whereever we go. He has held me in his arms every time I have cried over my father's illnesses. This is THE ONE and I have NEVER been more sure about anything else in my life.

My brother dated his first wife for over 5 years most of which was through college - guess what SHES AN EX WIFE!!! My parents dated 6 weeks and will be married 49 years this May (G-d willing with Dad's health being so poor.) My sister dated her husband for 2 months and are still married after 15 years. I don't think that a relationship needs a standard period of gestation to know when it is time to move to the next level. That comes from the heart.

It is important to realize and take into account that we are all at different stages in our lives. What is good for one person is not always the same for the next.

Goldi..thanks..that's a great story and it makes a LOT of sense. No one was criticizing you AT ALL. I think it's really great. When you know, you know!

Goldi -I totally agree with you! I dated someone for almost four years when I was younger, and if I had married him, I would be divorced by now...
When you know its right you just know... I knew after a couple of months that he was the one, and so did he- he told me the other day he was starting to look at rings after we had been going out for 2 months!
