Morning everyone! I want to thank ladygoodman for picking me for BOTW and hope my questions will be as good as hers were! I was already thinking up of some good questions yesterday!
FH and I haven't been together that long, a year and a half to be exact and we're already getting married. We fell in love very quickly, moved in together within three months of being together and just knew that this is what we wanted. People have made comments about it to us saying, things like, 'it's too soon', 'you guys should wait', 'why the rush?', 'you haven't been together long enough'. We've heard it all, so my QUESTION is, have any of you dealt with a similar situation? And, do you think there an appropriate amount of time necessary to be together before deciding to spend the rest of your lives together?

FH and I were together a few months longer than 3 years when he proposed. We talked about moving in together just a few short months of being together, although it happened a year after of dating. Neither one of family's though it was too soon - his family was kinda asking when it was going to happen. I totally agree with the ladies that, when you know you know!

We'll celebrate our 2nd anniversary together May 24th. We moved quickly in the beginning, moving in with him in August of 2011. But since then we took things slow. Yeah, people said we were moving way too fast. But we're adults, and both being married before, we knew what we were looking for, and found it. It took us 18 months to get engaged, and it'll be at least a year if not longer for us to be married. The only thing we did quickly was move in together.
Haters can hate all they want. We knew it was real.

FH and I just celebrated our 6 year anniversary together. I think I knew around the 2 year mark that we were meant to be together. The day he proposed, my sister said 'FINALLY!' -- but really she was the only one haha. We moved in together for the first time after 3 years and now we will be moving back in together again this coming weekend :)

FH and I moved in together just shy of our two year anniversary and got engaged this passed Christmas (and this may will be three years).. When we get married we will be together for 4.5 years.. We don't get much of you're moving too fast but sometimes I hear 'oh but you're so YOUNG!' And 'don't you want to live your life?!' And I find these comments a little... Rude? Ill be 26 when I get married and he will be 28. I think that's average.
And as far as too fast? My sister and her now husband met August 27 2010, moved in together mid sept2010, got engaged on Christmas 2010, and got married one week after their one year anniversary (sept 4 2011) and now they are expecting their first baby! When you know you know.

I've actual received some of the opposite when I say it's only been 2 1/2 years most people seem relieved like 'oh ok alright then!' but I'm like really?? I think 2 years is long enough if you've lived together but everyone is different! couples spend years together and never get married and are happy as can be and some get married within months and share the same happiness!
