    I just think that at a 'certain age' you know when you know. I certainly know what i DONT want and wouldnt put up with.

    It followed one couple who got engaged. They had met online 8 months before and the fiance, who was in a wheelchair wheeled himself all the way up Powersourt to propose to her... It was all a surprise for her and they seemed like SUCH a happy couple. It was so sweet.

    The parental units got engaged after two weeks, decades later they are stomach churning loved up.
    I don't think it is quick.

    Like that I have a friend that got engaged after 3 months ( or 6 months or something) and married at a year, that was ten years ago and they're still stomach churningly loved up.

    Apparently its not a time thing, its a 'when you know, you know' thing. However its always accompanied by a smug expression so.... I don't know. :confused:

    I don't buy into that at all. If you marry someone within a year of meeting then you don't know that person. IMO of course. You're still in that loved up phase and probably on your best behaviour. Give it a year or two more and see if you're still soulmates when the mundanity of real life kicks in.

    The marriage may work but IMO the chances are slimmer than those who wait a couple of years. I know a few couples who were all loved up and swore they were soulmates and couldn't wait. They are separated/getting divorced now.

    I don't think it has as much to do with knowing each other, as it does with each individuals desire to grow together with the other, in life and in marraige.
    Lust can last ~pukes~, but the ability to be friends is what really carries long marraiges.
    You never know someone else entirely, everyone will bring their own bad to a relationship.
    Some people will be more inclined to work through it than others.

    I watched it last night and thought they made such a lovely couple. Her face when she saw him in the hut was so lovely. I really hope it works out for them.

    ya i seen bits of one or two shows. have not seen a full one yet. am dying to but im afraid it will put more idea's in my head on how i would like my fella to propose to me if it ever goes that way for us. it's bad enough i have pretty much the whole day planned but i think if i had an idea of how my proposal would go it would ruin it for me.

    I missed it .. but heard Ray Darcy this morning going on about how it made him cry this morning on radio!
    I couldnt know how my fella was going to propose if he was it would ruin it also! Id like it planned and very romantic, think my guy would come up trumps in that area though! I cant wait ... (it will probably be about four years but still i cant wait :D )

    As much as I am a romantic, I find the show incredibly cheesy. If my guy were to propose to me on tv I think I'd strangle him.

    I'd love to see a follow up on that couple last night, I doubt they went through with it. It would be extremely difficult to say no like that, sure she was too shocked to make a decision. Plus she said no twice, and didnt even put the ring on for ages after he proposed!

    My parents got married within 6 months of their first date. The fact that I wasn't born for another 13 months disappointed so many people. They're married 25 years this year. I don't think you can judge a couple you're not part of. Sure, you can not understand the motivation behind what they do, but its not up to anyone other than the people in the relationship to judge what to do. I'd probably have been very dubious about the potential for a couple who hadn't been together that long to stay together if I hadn't lived with them for the past 20-odd years. Sometimes I think my parents have ruined relationships for me because they're such a considerate couple, so *shrugs* I don't know.
