My parents met and married 28 Days Later (yeah, just like the movie). My brother was born 8 months and 4 days after they were married :eek: They’ve been married for almost 44 years now. ---

I met **leenmi** on September 21st and married him on November 12th of the same year. 52 days. (Not quite as fast as **FairyChatMom** , but still pretty quick!) That was nine and a half years ago, and so far I have no major complaints. 😉 ---

first time around, I guess it was within 72 hours. Didn’t last very long as we didn’t work out some of the important things before hand (and it was a big time rebound-relationship for me) and found we disagreed on a number of things, such as recreational drug use. second time around, I was ready fairly soon, within a few months, so was he, but we both just “played it safe” and waited a few years.
