I remember shotgun weddings where couple had only known each other for a very short time. The marriages lasted though.

2 days then divorced 2 weeks later. He married a stripper in KC the day after a one night stand and…….they mutually decided it was not a good thing.

Saw a couple marry after just a couple weeks. They stayed married for almost twenty years, but divorced a couple years ago.

One of my best friends got married after 3 months of dating. His gf was a strong Christian and she wanted sex, but not before marriage. 20 years later and they’re still together


Sounds like my mom. She met my dad when she was 22. She was living in a boarding house for young Christian (Catholic) women who moved to the big city (Baton Rouge) for work. Dad was a ‘grizzled’ 25 year old Korean War veteran working at one of those futuristic television stations in the late fall of 1954. They were engaged and married all within 10 months of meeting each other.

They had 9 children and were happily married for 34 years until Dad passed away from cancer at the very young age of 60.

I heard about this guy who met a waitress who was missing her front tooth and woke up and they were married.

I don't even know your name

My wife had an aunt who married a Marine two weeks after they met. It lasted until he passed away, probably 30 years later. I never met him, but they said he was a real arsehole. She was nice and never remarried. He had been Jonathon Winters' sergeant (and apparently did not care for JW).

was once best man in a wedding for someone I knew maybe 3 months. The couple knew each other maybe 1 month. I have no idea how it turned out.

I saw a guy right out of boot camp, meet a girl on a Friday, had the sex, and married her the next day.

Kissed the lovely future Mrs cad for the first time on memorial Day, got engaged that December and married in January.

Going on 11 years now and while it might have been a disaster for Mrs cad, it was the best damn thing I've ever done.

When you know you know.
