I'll have to answer this one in my fathers name :)

My mother just always talked as if they would eventualy get married :) .. and as my father puts it: he just got used to the idea.

My monther actually did the proposing after 3 months and they had to call my gradmother to send money for engagement rings.

My father later wanted to propose after my brother and I were already born and he had one too many glasses of wine :)

Over all he figured HE did well :)

Another girl didn't suite him - and SHE did give him an ultimatum. He says: if the guy is smitten with the girl he will accept the "ultimatum"

:)

Yes, I knew the fellow was the wrong choice for me. As long as I was away from him physically it was pretty easy for me to "hold my ground". But, when I went back to campus, where he was, he did pressure me. He even cried. I took him back and married. I should have listened to my gut.

I'll answer for my husband. He knew. In fact we both knew. On one level we knew from the first moment we met and shook hands. But on our first date 4 months later, it was confirmed. The depth of connection was so strong. That first week of dating we realized we had the exact same core values. And marriage was at the top of the list. There were no pressures at all. Six weeks after our first date he proposed. We were married 9 weeks later and have been extremely happily married now for 2-1/2 years and KNOW that we will be together forever.
