I'm getting married July 14, 2006. I'm so excited about it. I never thought I would feel like I do but it's wonderful. I'm so in love with my fiance. I guess when it's right, you just know it.

9 months isn't so long. Depending on how fancy the wedding is, you may have to reserve the location that far in advance.

A friend of mine's daughter had to schedule two years in advance because she picked a "popular" date ... Saint Patricks Day. She actually got married (courthouse quickie) this past May, because she was racing the stork.
My money is on that she sees a divorce lawyer before the date the hall is booked comes around.

The only thing that pissed me off after my divorce is I loved my wedding band. A few years ago I wanted to have an anniversary band, rather than the engagement ring and band, so I had this band made exactly how I wanted it. Now the shit is my ex.
SO, I went to the jewelers and they are going to have it fitted for my middle finger. How appropriate? I could wear it on my right hand, but it looks much too obvious - like I am a divorcee or something.

Gay friends of mine who are de-facto "married" (ceremony and everything) wear their rings on the opposite hand.

I was with my last gf/ex-fiance for 6 years, and was never quite "ready" to marry her.
I've been with my current gf for 3 months, but have known her for 7 years, and would marry her today, if it were feasible. |

I'm not sure what the average time is between dating, engagement, and marriage, but I suddenly got word that one of my friends just took the leap. They had been dating for five weeks before he proposed to her, and they're currently "celebrating their two month anniversary". He cannot believe "how much they've grown" in that time. What the hell? The wedding is just another two and a half months away.
Five months. Five months from dating to married. I'm not even sure what to say to him. I think it is way too rapid to be sane, though, but there seems to be no convincing him of that.  "There are a lot of hours in five weeks." |

I think it really depends on the people. If two people had just met, I would say that a year seems reasonable before getting married. But you can know someone for years and never be ready to marry them--I use my ex as an example.

My martial arts instructor claims he proposed to his wife (and she accepted) two hours after meeting her. They've been together for 27 years.
But if it were my friend marrying a woman he'd been dating for 5 weeks, I'd find the politest way I could to tell him he was being foolish. |
