My son announced yesterday that his girlfriend proposed over Christmas and he said yes. Some people are going to say it is too fast since they have only been dating a few months but they have known each other (off and on) for 19 years.
I also reminded him that his Dad and I met January 20th, got engaged February 16th and almost made 50 years married. Time frames are not as important as knowing when the person, and the timing, is right.
BTW this is second engagement, he was first engaged when he was 22. He turns 51 this month.
Congratulations to them! Happy news indeed So happy for you all, but specially him and her!
My best friend avoided a date with her now husband for 3 years (I tried setting them up, then someone else who knew both of them through work, and lastly a friend of his), one day they met at a wedding (common friend from work) and went home together that same night she never left and moved her stuff in about a month later and they married now since October after 4 years of dating and living together.
Whether weeks, months or years if they are in love and see a life together this is their time. His best example is your marriage, the naysayers can shoo away.
