What is the quickest you’ve seen a couple marry?
I have a lot of Mormon buddies. A couple of them married their wives like a month after dating. They're all still happily married.

There were some similar comments by others. In a similar vein, an (East) Indian guy that worked for me told me that his marriage was arranged for him. His wife worked at the same company, and when we needed overtime help, they both would come in and work for us on weekends. She was very nice and personable, smart, and a hard worker. And.. she was super cute/attractive (this after having two kids). I mean, really, really nice. I might even have pictures (but give me a chance to dig around for them).

We would kid him, "I hope you thank your parents every day for setting you up with her!"

Later, I heard some interviews with couples with arranged marriages. The common theme seemed to be - "You might not be infatuated and 'in love' with that person from the start, but you grow together and learn to love and respect each other." I guess I can see that working. Also, from what I understand (at least in more modern times), this isn't a forced thing, the parents bring them together, and if it doesn't work it doesn't work, they don't get married to each other.
