Tying the Knot
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
They met in January at a tsunami relief benefit and were married in May. Although their relationship and engagement was short they have their whole lives ahead of them to be together. Who am I talking about? Actress Renee Zellweger and country music star Kenny Chesney were married last Monday in a small ceremony on the Caribbean island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
I know some people are thinking four months is just too soon to meet someone and get married. But isn’t that how it used to be for our grandparents’ generation? Maybe we are doing it wrong. We wait so long to get married — are we making a mountain out of a mole hill. We over-analyze the person and the relationship and thus find every flaw and reason for the relationship to end.
I’m not saying marriage is not a serious endeavor, but do we think ourselves out of love?
On May 21, Leanne DeFrancisco will marry Jason Manning, the carpenter who lived next door when Habitat for Humanity volunteers started building her Suwanee home. He took one look at the brunette in the tool belt, and a courtship began amid buckets of paint and stacks of shingles. Read their story
Stories like this keeps hope alive for me that there is truly someone for everyone out there. And that there is no timeline when it comes to matters of the heart. We always talk about what goes wrong but who has examples of relationships that have been right?

Good Morning
Hello jRock. On topic, my sister and her husband got married within 6 weeks of meeting. They say it was love at first sight. They’ve been happily married for 16 years. I guess when you know it’s right why wait? love shouldn’t be hard.

Morning all.
I don’t know of any ‘quickie’ marriages. My example couple have been married for over 9 years. She helps me to keep it all in perspective. They have their fair share of problems, but the way they handle their problems is amazing to me.

morning! somewhat on subject, I am a HUGE fan of Kenny, as Jael can tell (thanks for tryin on the tickets)
on their 4 month, whirlwind, you have to keep in mind, that their life is a little different than us normal folks. Also, they both had long engagements/relationships and never made the final committment. Yes, I think its possible to fall quick, hard and forever. However, for them due to their lifestyle is may or may not work. off to do work…

Call me cynical, but those two relationship mentioned here have yet to demonstrate any longevity. I think we all could probably find someone to marry, sometimes find more than one. (well, not at the same time…chuckle)
@IG - he did not post last week since he needed to wait for the prom to have the right pic….the others showed him with a sniper’s rifle, not exactly going to win the ladies that way. but on THAT thought, loved Enemy at the Gates.
Mom emailed about the recent Bush/Putin pic with the 1956 antique Volga. She thought it based on Volvo. I had to bring up the Battle of Stalingrad.

Tray, I immediately thought about you while reading today’s topic. ï?Å I think we can think ourselves out of many things, love being one of them. My sister and her husband of 15 years, met and dated for less than 6 months- I’m still amazed…As Ryan would ask, “how they do that?” for them I think they just knew it was right and remained dedicated to each other.
I need energy today!!!

Good Morning, everyone.
Great topic, Mia……..”do we think ourselves out of love?”……..good question also…..I think we do or better yet, I think we can. While a lifelong decision such as marriage should be well thought out and not made in haste, if we wait too long we can sometimes convince ourselves of whatever, thus explains my man’s sound decision to get married and the reason he wanted to hurry up and do it before he changed his mind…..I had to laugh but now that I sit here and think about today’s entry, it has definitely brought up some things that I may need to reconsider. I will be interested to read the rest of the comments and get various points of views on this subject.

i can think of several marriages where they took a long time to finally get married, and none lasted more than 4 years…
now when i look at my parents, aunts and uncles, and others in my life in that age range, they married after a courtship process, but it was not extremely long..and they are all still together.
i say when it is right it is right. let you and your spouse to be decide on how much time is long enough.

Me -I don’t think I can marry someone after just meeting them. For me….I know it will be at least a year before marriage is even seriously going thru my mind. I said seriously….
I think many of the quick marriages have many problems, but they jusy decide to stay together to keep from looking like damn fools….

Good morning everyone. My first post here…been in lurkerville for ages, but needed to comment here. I love this blog!!! My parents were engaged 6 weeks after they met and married 6 months later. If my father hadn’t been in the Air Force and been sent to some training in Alaska for those 6 months, they would have been married sooner. And my mother was a sinlge mom. They’ve been married over 35 years.
I have a younger sister who got engaged to a man I introduced her to within 2 months and married 8 months later. They’ve been married for almost 8 years with a 3 year-old and another on the way. It happens.
I can’t say I would do it, but I never say never. Some people just know…

your post is giving opposing views here. In one breath you say that we have become to cynical and overanalytical of love and the time it takes us to commit nowadays vs our grandparents who, it is assumed, only had courtships which lasted a few months. The implication or rather the inference I make there is that the shorter courtships are better. Then at the end you say “there is no timeline when it comes to love” with that being said I think its clear. Some people can find love in 4 months and others will take 4 years. Whatever works

Mia, you must have been a fly on the wall cuz I was having this conversation w/ my man last night regarding commitment and the legality of it all and with his mom on Sunday. Is commitment determined by a piece of paper? Isn’t commitment just a word, while technically it should be a state of mind? If your word is good, shouldn’t I believe you when you say that you are committed to me and you show me on a daily basis and you’re consistent and you say you will do what it takes to make our relationship work? Shouldn’t you believe me? Hmmmmmmmmmm…….Mia, you really got me thinking hard, maybe this is just the push I need to get the ball rolling.

Morning Blogmates i had a great birthday weekend MsK i got your message an old friend of mine suprised me and took me to Florida so i was’nt here for the OSS i hope you had a great time. Now i have a co-worker who married a man she’d only known for 2 weeks* they’ve been married for **4 years now so i do believe you can fall in love with someone in a short period of time, marry them, trust in God and live happily ever after…it can happen and it may even happen to those who say they don’t believe in it…you never know :) have a great day all, i’ll check in later

@Das Enemy At The Gates was a great movie! I liked it much better than Saving Private Ryan. I still get the willies over the stabbing scene in that movie.
On topic, I think celebs have a harder go at it than most due to being constantly under the spotlight. But factor in the time they are away from one another and if absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, I guess it could work. So many Hollywood marriages go by the wayside so quickly, but the ones who stay together, you hardly hear of those. It seems the ones who remove themselves from Cali or NYC are the ones who do best. Mel Gibson as a case in point. So maybe Kenny and Renee’s island will insulate them from the outside pressures.

Jael, not emotional, just sentimental…..I love stories like that. I cry each week when I watch Extreme Home Makeover. I cry/tear-up at commercials or when I see accidents where someone’s hurt or if I see kids crying from pain. Reading her story and her struggles made me feel for her, especially the part about not having a winter coat for her daughter and she had to wrap her up in a blanket to go to school. Girl, it just makes me feel so blessed because I don’t have a lot of money and the Lord knows sometimes this single parent thing gets so hard but we are blessed (me and my daughter)and we have not ever had to do without and we have plenty of clothing and food and electricity and water and a nice place to live and rest. It’s indescribable so I’m just thankful for it all.

it doesn’t matter how long it takes to fall in love…what matters is a couple’s ability to admit that the reality of building a relationship is much, much different than the fairy tales and love stories we weould like to beliver…it about their willingness to work through ALL of the issues that life throws at them with no thoughts of turning their backs on the relationship or giving up or throwing in the towel…
what it all comes down to is…how bad do you want it? how many times are you willing to compromise…to forgive…to accept…to conform…to modify expectations…where is your line in the sand?…and are you willing to sometimes re-draw the line?…
and the final equalizer - does each of you want it as bad as the other? because if you are not both EQUALLY committed to the relationship - it becomes a losing battle…
i haven’t said this is a while…so…i will say it again…it takes forever to build a relationship that lasts forever…

Two of my best friends are HAPPILY married their relationships are opposites. T met C they moved into together after 4 months got engaged 4 months later and were married that summer. They have been together almost 6 years no serious issues and are just as cute and in love today as when they met. My other best friend dated her hubby lifetimes ago but kept blowin him off to date a bunch of knuckle heads. Almost a decade later she finally took his interest seriously they rapidly went from casual dating to serious LTR had a baby bought a house and then FINALLY got married. It has only been about a year but they are very very happy.

@ MIA I do think often people overthink the “timing” in some cases it may take a few years to TRULY know the person you are with is “the one” some fall in love faster, get to know each other faster etc. I know I have been guilty of overthinking “I can’t be in love w/ him I haven’t known him long” etc.

Greetings AJC1975, Caroline & Mz B.
I maybe naive but I always thought that being together, or deciding to marry should feel like the most natural, logical thing in the world to do, regardless of the length of time. If you feel that you know the person enough to the point where being without them seems unnatural, then you just know being with them is right. The thing is, you can be cautious, analytical all you want, but if you are convincing yourself that you should be with someone, then perhaps its not the right time for YOU to progress to a deeper commitment. Never decide to be with someone out of desperation or fear of being alone. If you can not be content on your own then you will not be content married.
Oh and Kenny is HOT, so I can understand how she could get caught up and swept away!

‘how bad do you want it?’ never a truer question…
Unless the person you are dating is a con-artist, I think most of the truly important stuff can be gleaned in the first 6 months. After that, its the little things that cause us to ‘think ourselves out of love’ that start to surface.

I do believe it is possible to find your mate quickly, at first sight even. But I think such occasions are very rare. I do agree that people can overthink things when deciding to be with someone. If you have to give it that much thought then its probably not meant to be.

I think its a matter of what works for certain people. But I don’t think it takes YEARS for someone to make up their mind about being with someone, either you do or you don’t and if you don’t, then don’t waste your time or theirs. I’ve come across a few people lately who have become engaged or married after relatively brief courtships. I think it does come a point in time where you just know. You can plan all day long how long its going to take for you to think about marriage but when that right person comes along I don’t think that would even be a factor. In saying that I don’t intend to waste anymore of my time with knuckleheads just to have someone. Dating is a formality of ulitmately finding that one person—not psuedo relationships leading to nowhere.

Good Morning Everyone,
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and from what I have read the Dugan’s outing was a sucess. :) My Relay for Life Team won 1st place for Campsite Decoration. We had an Island theme going on — it was FAB. My team members worked it out, taking 2 hour time slots on the the track. *Tazzee worked it out from 9:30 to 11:30, girlfriend was doing the dang thing. I did complete my nonstop 8 mile walk (32 times around the track)from 2:45 - 5:30 a.m. All in all, it was a great time had by everyone involved.
@BlackIce - It was wonderful meeting you. You are such a great beauty inside and out. Thanks Tazzee for my surprise.
On topic - My aunt and uncle met at a party and got married 3 months later. They will celebrate their 36th anniversary this year. Their relationship has had it’s ups and downs, but there was nothing that was too much of a challenge for them to get through. He loves to tell people how she tried to pursue him at the party but he would have none of it. After all, he’s was a man. LOL. He decided when he would make his approach and ended up falling before he could get to her. She came to his rescue and they have been inseparable ever since. I love listening to the stories of their short courtship and the day they decided the only way things could get better was to marry one another. They are both retired now and travel around the world together and love being in each other’s company. If there were ever a marriage I would love to model mine after it would be theirs.

on the short courtship to committment, I think it really depends on the couple. some folks will just know and can get married and last forever, others, will date or have that long engagement and then just take the next step. On ones like that, do they just do it because its expected? Has there been a study on long vs short courtships to life long committment. is there a norm that produces the best results. well of course not, just like every house is not 2.5 kids with a picket fence. I think I lost my train of thought so let me get back to ya, maybe

Good Morning fam, 2day will be another lurk day for me. On said topic, I know a lot of people don’t believe this, but you know from the moment you meet aperson whether or not you want to deal with them. Whether it’s marriage or not. You have an instinct, but fear, will keep you from followinf through with it. It’s okay to be afraid, but don’t let fear keep you from missing out on something that could be the best thing that has ever happened to you. So what if you get hurt. That’s a part of life. If it don’t kill you it will make you stronger.

You do the doggone thing anonymousella. I have to agree with you and MissUnderstood - I will admit that the last two guys I dated, I could have married. And I could be happily married while dealing with the little issues that broke us up - but like CSC earlier, I had to sit back and ask myself, how bad do I want it?
In the end, I realized that I didn’t want it bad enough to work for it.
I also have to agree with WiseDiva, anytime you have to convince yourself to be with someone - they aren’t to be with.

OK, since we’re veering into the realm of “the Thunderbolt” (from The Godfather, The obsession Michael had when he first saw his future sicilian bride), have you ever met someone who just absolutely took your breath away? What about them made them do it? Are we attracted instantly to people for aesthetic reasons or does it go deeper than that? Did you have the courage to speak to them or was just letting your eyes lock for a second satisfying snough? Would you marry someone like that? In my mind, it would be like playing the lottery but that’s just MHO.

Afternoon All.
There is no set length of time you should know someone before you get married. It all depends on where people are in their lives when they meet.
You may meet your eventual spouse in high school/college but you might not have necessarily known it then. You may be ready to settle down and meet the man/woman of your dreams, but he/she isn’t ready for commitment. You may meet the love of your life and know right away that he/she is the one.
My mom and dad met in February and married in August the same year and have been together 34 years. A friend of mine met her husband in November and married a year later. A friend’s cousin met her marine husband in April last year and just recently married. I met my fiancee in February last year and am now engaged.

@ Ignatius - Yes, there have been a few people that took my breath away, but there has only been one that I felt a inexplicable connection with and that was the weirdest feeling. It’s such a weird feeling - you feel like this person has been with you for a lifetime even though you just met and you don’t want to lose them again. Would I marry someone that I felt that strong a connection with? Yes (only if he’s a Scrabble fanatic like myself -j/k). If I felt there was a strong enough foundation built, yes I would marry that person.

Well, I am with I am with you Mia…Maybe we’re doing it wrong. See, when you marry in a short time, you still have time to know your mate IN the marriage. your more like to tolerate their weakness the same way you do while dating plus people don’t have an incentive to do things just to please you (they’ll keep things real form early on), thus ain’t no time you’ll say, “you were this way when dating, now you’ve changed”

@Ig’s question: I have met some guys that took my breath away. Sad to say most of the time I wasn’t bold enough to say anything and just looked at them or engaged in small talk but never took it further. I have also met guys that I felt a special connection with, like we were supposed to be in each other’s lives for a reason, which at the time I assumed was a relationship but that turned out to not be the case. Has anybody ever felt like that and where does that feeling come from?

Back from a good, long lunch…
KIR, I’m going both nights. Its not my type of concert, but some friends and I are getting a suite at the dome. So I’m going more for the fellowship than anything.
Jael, Personally, I don’t think there is ‘One’ person for me. I think when its all said and done - I’m presented with men from which to choose. I have dated two men where, if we would have had a short courtship and got married, I would not have bailed out by now. However, I’ve realized that when it comes time for the real work needed in a relationship - I start to ask myself, is this worth it? I’m not sure if I want to get married at all. Many have told me that’s just because I haven’t met the ‘One’, but I don’t think that’s the case. I am truly enjoying my single life - so as soon as a guy does something I don’t like, I start to think ‘why am I in this, I’m more content by myself’
A good friend of mine told me this weekend that I was a spoiled brat. I would agree that I am somewhat spoiled, but I reject the brat label…

Oh I dont think she prefers it that way, she says she tries to wake me up first but I sleep WAY deep. My REM is luke some Coma ish.
And hell yeah im complaining cause I aint getting no pleasure out of it. She getting her jollies on i wake up with a belly full of sex juice wondering what the hell happened n stuff.

then why does the coaches make more than the presidents?
Better question is why DO the coaches make more than the TEACHERS and what college did you go to?

why do athletes, in particular, who have a lot of money, dislike to pay their child support? i.e., Ralph Sampson, Rae Carruth, Andre Rison, atty Willie Gary………….

Tazzee, yeah that would have been a bit awkward - hmmm maybe he would have been flattered, getting you to the O with a mere dream of him! What an ego inflator!
That was awfully nice of Mia and apparently a good call too.
Divine, how are you lovely spirit? Congrads on the walk! I gather you’re getting your walk on?
Willie Gary? really? He can afford to buy a child or two

@Jael - Hey lady. How are you doing? I’m fantastic. Thanks for the congrats on the walk. People are already asking me if I’m going to be a team captain next year. ;) You know I said yes. After all, it’s for such a good cause and so many of us are affected by it in some way. How is your mom? Call me when you get a chance.

Been skimming through and I have to say -you guys have been all over the place today…
AggWitt you gotta love getting the goodie while asleep, but when you wake up -you seem really tired.
MsAP -I have had those dreams -they are called wet in a man’s world. I have not had them since I was a kid. I was all happy and bragging about it, Older cats was calling me 10…saying I must have been dreaming of Bo Derek in the old movie. Not sure if many of you remember that one….
Queen -Yes Pres Palmer is still running things, but it is not suppose to be known to the members of the cabinet. That is why they staged the little disagreement between Pres. Palmer and the Pres Biatchy to make it seem as if Palmer was not in charge.
I plan on meeting up with you guys this week -either Windown at Centennial or Karaoke….
MzB what up Sexy…..
