Wow how many whirlwind romances, that's cool.

5 years for me and my OH, I was definitely telling him to get a wriggle on into the 4th year. That was just a few months ago - hopefully getting married next summer.

We met at the beginning of April '97, I moved in with him 3 weeks later and we got married at the beginning of October '97, a month before my 23rd birthday. Still together, but we've had some very rocky patches over the last twelve years.

so pleased to see this thread, as my mind has been spinning all week. to all those who got engaged quickly, how was the news accepted by family/friends, and how did you deal with negative comments?

we met a year ago, and were talking marriage soon after. OH proposed every day for weeks, then said he'd leave it to me to propose when i was ready. well now i am, and I'm pretrified - of the response from others, and the fear of failing at marriage again, even though i know i won't go into a marriage if i think for a second it wouldn't work. we are both in our 40s, and divorcees.

i'm not impulsive, and met him when i least wanted a relationship. he fell in love at first sight and pursued me, and i realised on our first date that i had met the man i was going to marry - i actually feel sicky at saying those words lol, because they sound so cheesy, and i am so level-headed and 'sensible'.

dare I do it? i feel like a teenager too afraid to let my feelings out!!!
