People are crazy! WDYT?
So I come back from a few days out in the woods with no cell service only to find 2 people I know are engaged (not to each other).
First one is my cousin. He was dating a girl for about a year and broke up with her this past spring. A few weeks ago he changed his status to in a relationship on facebook. I talked to him at my uncles retirement party and he said he was single. The retirement party was just before he changed his status. So he's been with this new girl for about a month - none of the family has even met her and apparently he proposed to her under the fireworks last night!
Second one is a friend from high school. She was seeing a guy in Texas for a short while (she went to visit her sister and met this guy on the trip). She went for a second visit in April and they broke up. Then about a month ago she tells me she just started hanging out with some new guy. Well she texted me over the weekend and I just got it today since I had no cell service to tell me she's engaged!
So both of these people have been dating for a month each and now both are engaged and one is getting married THIS October and one THIS November!
Am I the only one that thinks this is crazy? And if you are thinking maybe it's an age thing, the cousin is 33 and the friend is 27. Neither has been married before or has any kids.

Yes. These people are crazy. Are there babies to be had or something? LOL! I would never accept a proposal from someone that I had only dated for a few months. It just seems bizarre. And then to try to get married that fast... They should just fly to Vegas!
I think it's actually different for each couple. I was with a guy who proposed after 4 years. I called it off in February (after almost 6 years of being together) and have been dating a new guy since shortly after. I don't think time can tell anyone what is the "right" length of time to be together. If my bf asked me today I would say yes in a heartbeat. And when the ex asked, I never actually even said yes. I have a friend that met her guy in May, and was planning an October wedding before July. They've been together a few years. My parents were together for less than 6 months, and then eloped.
It may work out. It may not, And I know that when my friend started planning her wedding after only a few months, I made fun of her behind her back like crazy, but I'll admit it was pure jealousy. I had been with my guy for almost 4 years and there was no ring on my finger.
Just another side to it...that's all.
I knew a couple that were married on their first date anniversary a year later so they really only knew each other a year before they were married. They are still together and have 2 kids now.
I'm really hoping it will work out for both of the couples. I'm just nervous for my cousin and friend that they are rushing into this before they really know the person they are with. I just hope they don't regret it.
