MOH met someone......
So yeah.......
One of my maids of honor started dating someone 5 or 6 weeks ago she met at work (aka after my wedding on 12/12). She calls me last night to say that they are engaged......and planning to get married in May or June!!!
I am trying to be a supportive friend, but I really can't believe she is moving so fast with this! She is young, has a career, and neither of them have reason to believe they are going to be moving anytime soon.....
Just is really hard to take in....I want to be happy for her. But I dated my FI for two years before we got engaged and then had a 20 month engagement. It is hard for me to fathom getting married to someone you would know for about 6 months!
I don't want you all to think I'm an unfeeling friend etc....I was happy for her on the phone etc.....but I worry about her since she was engaged a year and a half ago to a guy she dated for 3 years and then had been engaged to for a year before SHE broke it off.
So yeah......feeling rather worried about her etc......
Re: MOH met someone......
Wow. I'd react in exactly the same way as you, which I don't think is totally unreasonable. I'm assuming there isn't more to the story, like a little one on the way or anything like that? I was with my H for 7 years before getting engaged, and then had a little over a year engagement, so yea. I don't get it either.
Well I hope it works out for her! I'd consider talking to her about your feelings if you think she could handle it, but other than that I don't think there's much more you can do than just be supportive.
woah. I'm a firm believer that couples need to get past the "puppy love" stage before making any sort of commitment.
I would just highly suggest they seek premarital counseling.
I'd feel the same way as you.
DH and I were together for four years when we got engaged, and were engaged 17 months before we got married. I understand thinking "Uh...wait a little.'
Just hope that she comes to her senses. I'd maybe consider expressing your concern. Make it clear that you're happy that she's happy and you like her "FI" but talk to her about why she's rushing it.
