KidsHappen Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 next week! She has known this boy for less than 3 months. She has never even had a boyfriend. Of course, I am scared to death and worried for her but she says she they are in love and she is happy so what more could a mother ask for? Her father and I knew each other for about three months before marriage as did his parents and we are both still married 20 some odd years later so it is really hard to contest on those grounds. Apparently, they are going to the JP next week (as did my hubby & I) and then have a formal wedding next year on their one year anniversary. So this will make for my second SIL. The oldest three will be married with the fourth already betrothed. I have two grandchildren now and I suspect it will be not too long before the third is on it's way (this child has wanted a child for as long as I can remember). I guess congratulations are in order. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 ummm. I can't cast stones. I knew my Dh 3 months and it was the date that never ended. My parents FREAKED. 6 kids and 16 years later, I think we've proved ourselves. Congratulations!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Have you met the guy? Yes, I have. He works with my current SIL and has for quite awhile. My dd also works there so they have spent lots of time together. Of course, I don't know him well but he is a Chirstian, is very polite and respectful and appears to have been raised well. As far as I can tell, there are no family problems and he and my dd have already secured jobs, cars, a house, appliances, furniture and a dog and a two cats ( all paid for in cash). They both appear to be happy, healthy and safe. The family is quite surprised but I a sure they will come around in time. I wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms either but we are surrounded with love and support now. I wish and hope for the best for them.

Renee in NC Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I knew my dh for 6 months before we married, 13+ years ago.;) Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Congrats! I married dh at 19. My dad actually bet us it wouldn't last 4 years. He said he would kiss my dh's a$$ (direct quote) if it lasted that long. I have a picture of the a$$-kissing ceremony;). 10 1/2 years later, we are still going strong! May they live a long, happy life together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Well, it would have me in shock and my hubby said, "oh no way!" (btw, we have an 18yo!) However, I was 18 and he moved in with me after just two weeks! So it's not like we can cast stones either. Hopefully they have a beautiful journey together :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHASRADA Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I knew my dh for 8 months before we got married, but we only waited that long because I had to wait to turn 18 ;)! Looking back, I was so head-over-heels that I could have easily made a big mistake in getting married at that point, but I believe God was guiding me, and choosing to spend my life with dh was the best decision I ever could have made. I sincerely hope for the same blessed union for your dc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Josh and I got engaged about six weeks after we met. We had to wait to get married, though. No money and I was in school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyinLA Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Congratulations are in order!! My dd was not quite 19 when she married in July. Of course, she and her dh had known one another for years, but had just been friends. They are doing GREAT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Congratulations! Dh and I waited to get married until 8 months after we met, but we knew withing the first 2 or 3 months. The rest was just a technicality. Our 10th anniversary was last week. :D Of course, I do worry that I'll freak if any of my kids decide to go that route. I know it wouldn't be fair or right or good, so I just pretend that I'll never have to find out how I'd react. ;) Love is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yes, I have. He works with my current SIL and has for quite awhile. My dd also works there so they have spent lots of time together.

I wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms either but we are surrounded with love and support now. I wish and hope for the best for them. Congratulations to the happy couple! It sounds like they are wise, stable, and responsible. My husband and I dated since high school, but we did what we then thought was the "responsible" thing and waited until after college to marry. Looking back, I regret not following our hearts and getting married earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Congratulations!!! We were engaged after eight weeks of dating (long distance, at that...we had visited one another just three or four times). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Sounds like they're both in a great place, so here's to the happy couple! I'm another 18-yo who got married to a guy I barely knew. We'd known each other three months to the day when we tied the knot. He was 21, had no job, no car, no money, was living with his mom and stepdad, and - oh, yeah - didn't have a green card. I was his immigration ticket. My parents about died... or killed me. I'm not entirely sure which was closer to the truth. Either way, we've been married 10 years now, and he's a US citizen, so I think he's redeemed himself. My dad now takes him hunting and hasn't shot him yet, so that's a good sign, I think :D Again, congratulations!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarcyB Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I wish them a happy long life together. DH and I spent 21 days in each other's company before we got married. We met online and lived far away from each other, only got to see each other 21 days during the 9 month courtship. 14 years later..just as happy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Congratulations! I was married at 19 and I know people thought it would never last. It hasn't always been easy, but what marriage is. We have been married 16 years and are happier than ever. Sometimes the right one just comes along. We also had tremendous support from both our parents and that helped us stay together through tough times. Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I started dating my dh when I was 18, and he was 19. We were in college so we didn't marry until we were graduated; however, we knew we would within 6 months of being together. It sounds so young, but I guess sometimes you just know. After 13 years, and some very tough times together, we are still going strong! Congratulations!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvingLife Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I think I would be in shock too. My cousin got engaged at 19, but they broke off their engagement because he wouldn't let her do much. Congragulations! I hope they will remain married for the rest of their lives! God Bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 My dh and I married (after 9 months) 8 years ago. When we got married, we ran off together (eloped?) and had a wedding in a small chapel ALONE. We didn't invite a soul. The plan was to have a wedding 6 months later. We couldn't, though. 6 mos later, I was 6 months pregnant with ds (now ds7)! :) My point...don't hold your breath for that wedding in a year..... LOL Congratulations!
