would you do this: married after 1 year of dating

We got married one year after we started dating, and honestly, a lot of people didn’t understand. I heard so many comments about how we were rushing and it wouldn’t last.

But for us, we had done the work, sought wisdom, and felt ready. Getting married quickly doesn’t mean we skipped the hard stuff... it just means we committed to walking through it together sooner.

Would you ever get married that fast or do you prefer to date longer?
