Could he have fallen in love with her that soon, and feels like he knows her well enough for marriage?.. Sure.
Could he be an emotional vampire narcissist in need of a new host, preying on her because he knows she’s a bit unstable when it comes to relationships…Sure.
This could go either way, and as a friend… I would ask her what the rush is, and would suggest taking some time to get to know him better. You will have at least planted the seed.
Google up his name
Do research could be a sex offender that he’s not talking about
I mean by then she will know. Either they will still be in love or the honeymoon will be over.
To me that’s to soon. But every relationship is different. I’ve been with my man for almost 8 years now and were still not ready to get married there’s no rush. But if she truly is happy then just be happy for her.
First of all being with someone a year is not just meeting. I was engaged less than a year in and we had a long engagement. This is going to be our 11th year married but 15th yr together.
FYI people can be dating 10 yrs, get married and end in divorce. It all depends on the people.
She needs to find out if it’s love or lust or loneliness now or it will end badly. I have been engaged 3 times and luckily married the right one.
Everyone is different and it’s not up to you to decide what’s best for your friend. I married my husband after 4 months of knowing him and here we are 8 years later. 
A lot of ppl do- some wrk out great some don’t 🤷
My only advice here is to be engaged for a few more years to be 100% sure.
A year is a pretty long time, I read somewhere a man knows he’s found the one after about 3mos, a woman after 6.
My husband was a one night stand that turned into 20 years in January.
My now husband and I were only together a couple of months I started staying at his place regularly.
Together 6 months when I officially moved in.
Together just over 2 years when he proposed…after we had a child together.
Together just over 3 years when we got married.
This September will be 6 years together. Married 3.
Knowing someone a year…isn’t “just met” and 6 months isn’t “just got together”
I dont believe that’s really a factor here.
But I understand her concerns about wondering if she’s just doing it so she’s not alone. I think that’s a common concern after divorce.
The thing about that is…she’s the only one who can figure that out. The best advice you can give her…
Is to do some self-reflection…
Think about thier relationship. Think about him. Why specifically has she fallen in love with him? Or what specifically made her realize she loves him? What makes her want to live with him for the rest of her life? Is there anything about him that makes her uncomfortable? What is it? Why does it make her uncomfortable?
I believe considering questions like this…answering to and for herself will help her figure her out what to do.
Also…its entirely possible to have a long engagement so even if she says/said yes…there’s no real rush to get married just yet.
Not to sound mean but how old are these friends
Thats not your business or your question to ask. Just support her happiness.
Everyone’s relationship is different. My husband and I moved in together two weeks after we met, got married a year after we met and that was ten years ago and I love him more now than I did then. I’m happier than I’ve ever been.
There’s really no way of knowing how things will work out but if she feels like she loves him and is ready to be married then I say she should follow her heart
I married my husband 1 year and 2 days after our first date. We now have 5 children and have been married for 16 years.
My advice is to not meddle and just be there for her. If she’s excited then you’re excited. Listen to her concerns and give advice but don’t put your opinions in her head.
I knew my husband for only a month when we got engaged and got married the following year. Will be married 31 years next week.
I don’t think it’s a matter of how long you know someone, but the complete certainty that you want to spend the rest of your life with that individual. If SHE is unsure i’d suggest she wait until she is. I met my husband and was engaged within 4 months, married a year later. I cannot imagine being with anyone else.
I did it we’ve been married almost 15 years
It does work as odd as it may seem
I married my husband 2 months after we started dating. I knew him for years prior to dating but still…2 months… We’ve been married for 2 years and had a child of our own together on top of the other 2 kids of mine that he treats like his own…
I understand your concern for your friend but you sound very negative towards her relationship. You havent stated anything negative about him, just that she’s had bad luck in the past… Majority of people have. She’s been with him a year… They didn’t just meet and you could be part of the reason she doesnt get married to him because she doesnt want to hear your negative comments but does care for your opinion… If she is not ready, then she is not. She needs to really think about her relationship, if she wants to be married and whether or not the only reason she said yes is because she fears being alone… She needs to reflect on that on her own! That’s the only thing you should be telling her. She’s marrying him, not you.
My husband now said he was marrying me after we were together a month we knew each other in our younger days but weren’t close or anything like that and we got married after two years together relationships are different for everyone my ex I married after 13 years of being together and it was the biggest mistake ever made but just be there for your friend be the one she can talk to but not be negative
My friends got engaged 3 months after first dating and they didn’t know each other before. It’s going fine other than they fight about a lot of stuff.
Me and my husband got married 6 months in we have been married 3 years mayb26th
Have them get marriage “counseling” to be sure they ask and discuss the hard questions. Maybe one of those in-depth questionnaires they can do together to see how each feels about money, finances, budgeting, chores and gender roles, children or no children, how many, expectations for kids, discipline, experience with kids previously—the reality is often far different from the expectation! If they foresee children, have them babysit someone’s child/children for a night and then maybe a weekend. Everyone pictures kisses and cuddles vs screaming, back-talk, sneakiness or kids who hate being affectionate.
What are their personal and professional goals in life, what are deal breakers, how much togetherness is too much or too little, what is an ideal vacation: time with extended family, extravagant national or international getaways, historic reenacting, major cities vs. wide open spaces, amusement parks, historic sites, lots of cultural events or decompressing on a beach, camping, staycations, or “what’s a vacation”?
Do they have similar spiritual beliefs? What happens if one becomes disabled? How will they divide time between families? What are their holiday traditions and how will they mesh?
What religious training does each foresee for kids? What does each think about porn, sex toys, fantasies or kinkiness? What are each looking for from marriage?
When does each want to retire & what would that look like? Moving or staying in the same place forever? Downsizing vs. buying a big place to host lots of family? World travel? RVing? Quiet life in a warm climate/beach or living next door to grandkids? Working until you die, starting a family business? Having a more fun career?
What role and authority do grandparents, aunts & uncles, friends have? How much time spent with friends vs at home is too much? What is OK & not OK to do apart from each other, like drinks, bowling, strip clubs, gambling, weekend trips with bros/girls vs. week-long ones? How does each use vacation time? What constitutes slacking and workaholism?
How clean is a clean house, with and without kids? How does each person deal with stress and conflict? Scream it out and be done, go to their caves and think about it? Discuss situations daily or weekly to pre-empt conflict? What happened when their parents/guardians disagreed, how did they resolve it (or not), and what would they do differently?
Encourage them to discuss the hard questions now. Doesn’t mean neither will change their mind later or behave differently in the heat of the moment, but so often we make assumptions and then the reality is far different. Maybe encourage them to do Myers-Briggs testing as a place to start discussion. I’m sure there are many books on the subject, some religious leaders offer marriage preparation, etc. Best to reserve judgment on her decisions, but do ask lots of questions and be there to listen to her uninterrupted.
If you were on a face book group posting about my life and how you think you know me better than I do I wouldn’t wanna be your friend. Mind your business and support her or end the friendship and move on.
I was engaged within 6 months of meeting my now husband (we just celebrated our 3 year anniversary last month) he purposed to me December 30th 2016 and we got married March 26th 2018. My husbandalso told me on the 3rd weekend we were hanging out he knew he wanted to marry me. . I honestly didn’t want to ever remarry after my 1st marriage wasn’t the best and he ended up passing away at way to young of an age and I never wanted to go threw that again. But after 3 years of being a single mother to my kids I met my husband and we just clicked everything felt right. I have honestly never been happier. But if your friend doesn’t feel ready to do it then maybe she should take some time to see what she really wants
My husband and I pretty much knew early neither one of us was going anywhere, we didn’t rush into it we were pretty young and still getting some ducks in a row. We were together 4 years before he proposed and another 2 engaged.
A friend of our knew she was the one, and proposed after a short time and married shortly after that…granted they were married 8ish years it was a freaking roller-coaster!
We have another friend that were married quickly and baby quickly after they are on 11 years.
Definitely depends on the couple.
Me and my husband were married after 7 months knowing each other.
I married my husband a year and a week after we met… Going on 8 yrs and couldn’t be happier. Some people just know. It’s her life let her live it
When you meet the right person, you will know. You can know someone for only a month and know them better than someone you’ve known for a year! My husband and I got married about 10 months after we met at 18 & 19. We had a lot of people doubt that our relationship would last, they would tell us “you’re too young, you don’t know each other that well” and yet we know each other better than anyone else. I feel like I know him better than I know myself some days lol but here we are 3.5 years later, been married happily for 2.5 years. We met our soulmate and didn’t want to waste time being apart. Best decision we ever made was getting married sooner rather than later, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It really just depends on the couple. They know their relationship. If you have concerns you should sit down and talk to her/them about it. But at the end of the day they are going to make whatever choice they want to. You can either be there and support them and get to be by their side or you not support them and not get to be there for either of them.
My husband and I both knew we were going to marry each other before we even made our relationship “official”
Sometimes you just know.
Marriage is a commitment and takes a lot of work. Being with the right person does make it easier.
This decision is ultimately your friends decision. She’ll have to decide if it’s what she wants or not. I’d say after a year of being with someone you should kinda know if it’s something you want to continue or take to the next level.
My parents met at a New Years Eve party. Moved in together that same week and we’re engaged and married by May 15th of the same year. They were married 25+ years when my mom passed away.
A year isn’t “just met”.
I was 13 my husband was 15 when we got together in 2006. We didn’t get married until 2018 and 3 kids later. When she is ready, she is ready. Some like to wait and see. Some just jump right to it. It all depends on you. Unless he’s abusive physically or mentally. Let her learn and be happy. You never know, it just might work out!
Parents got Married after 3 months of dating. Still together after 33 years soon to be 34 in October.
My grandparents married two weeks after they met! And they were married over 50 years before my grandpa passed…
Im assuming you’re single or with Mr. Right now. If you were in a happy relationship this wouldn’t be a question.
So my husband and I dated for 6months when he asked me to marry him and we married 3 months later. We have been together for 23 years now and it is still the best decision I ever made besides my salvation. I will say this though, if she has any doubts at all she needs to settle them before she marries him. Short relationships can make beautiful marriages but it must be the right relationship. Counseling would be a great idea, actually it is good before any marriage.
Me and my husband meet March 17 2007 got married April 25th 2007 been married happily for 14 years
I would say the problem isn’t the length of time she has known him. The problem is she isn’t sure if she wants to be married. She needs to resolve that. Marriage is not easy for people who are 100% sure. It would suck to wake up a few months in and realize you didn’t want it.
The good thing about being a fiance is she don’t have to start planning a wedding right away I’ve known people to be engaged for years before they actually got married. There is no rush ever!!
I’m not sure she’s ready yet. Next year is a while yet for her to continue to get to know him. Otherwise, why marry at all if you’re unsure. Nothing wrong with dating longer.
I met my now husband and 8 months later we were married and I was pregnant. We’ve been married 4 years on 5/20
It depends on the situation. Works for some people
Me and my husband got married after 3 months
a friend of mine kinda did same thing i told her i thought she was rushing it in my oppion. they lived same state different cities but job traveled him here so didnt matter. they havent been together long when moved in together. they did get married couple yrs ago and still together. it worked for them. i believe been together 6 yr now.sometimes this works for people sometimes dont its the feeling and actions i guess.it might work for her it might not. i told my friend my feelings about it. but she still did what she felt . she new how i felt concerned for her.she was single for long time divorced. and the guy she married lost his wife.they came together as family ready made both have kids
Was with my now fiancé for 4 months before we got pregnant with our first daughter and decided to get married. 3 years later and we just had our second baby girl and loving our family! Sometimes it is meant to be, I don’t think the amount of time matters!
If she is unsure if she’s ready to get married, she needs to talk to her fiancé about that. There is nothing wrong with pushing out the wedding date and staying engaged a little longer. With that said though, it doesn’t matter how long she has known him, if they’re both happy. I met my husband March 29th 2019, when we were both out to celebrate my best friends birthday. He was friends with my best friends husband. So we met March 29th 2019, we started dating May 5th 2019. We got married July 2nd 2019. So we knew each other just over a month before we started our relationship and we were together less than 2 months before we got married. So we were married within 3 months of meeting. I can’t speak for my husband, but from what he tells me, he’s never been happier and I know I’ve never been happier. We both came from shitty pasts when it came to relationships. He is an amazing man and I regret NOTHING. If your friend is happy, be happy for her. Support her, because time measures nothing!
Me and my husband met and got married 2 weeks later still married 36 years so it can work
I got married 7 months into a long distance relationship. We’ve been married for going on 13 years and have 4 awesome kids together. 🤷
I don’t see the issue with getting married after that length of time (my hubby proposed to me after 3 months, married after 6 months 20 years ago). The issue is she doesn’t know if she wants to her married x
I mean the problem here isn’t that she only met him a year ago. The problem is she doesn’t know if she really wants to marry him or not
My husband and I started officially dating in jan of 2020. We decided to get married the beginning of dec 2020 and tied the knot jan 9th of this year. When you know, you know. Im super happy
My husband and I were married 10 months after meeting we r still together 23 years (in June ) later 
I knew my husband for two years and a half years casually and dated him for six months before getting married. We are going on seven years of marriage. With children and a home etc. I know people that have waited for years to get married and got divorced in less than two after being married.
I started dating my husband of Dec of 2001 and got married May 18th 2002 . but I would say she should wait cause after 19 year’s next month I may be getting a divorce I didn’t really know the real him .
A year is not just met
I married my 1st husband after 2dates lasted 27 yrs
Mind your business. Tell her congratulations, be happy for her and move on.
That is something she has to decide for her self. If she is not 100% then no harm in waiting. My husband and I have been together 13 years but only married 5. You don’t have to rush.
I think you should let your friend live her life. Be supportive where she needs. Everybody is different. My husband and I got engaged 3 months after dating. I know that doesn’t work for everyone, but my point is you can’t know their feelings for each other.
When you know, you know. I knew a month into the relationship that this was the man I would spend my life with. I just knew. Took him a few years to figure it out lol.
Two things.
There is no timeline on love.
If she is asking for your advice, a part of her somewhere is doubting this marriage already. Ask her why she asked you. Why she felt something was off and she needed advice.
My parents knew each other for 4 weeks.
That’s something she needs to decide. Just support her decision either way and be a good friend. While it might not seem right to you, it does to some. I know people who got married after 6 months and have been married and loving life for 20+ years together, then I know some who waited 5 years to get married and got divorced after 3 years married… everyone is different in their journey of life.
My husband and I got engaged after 9 months but we had a long engagement. It was close to 3 years.
I knew I was going to marry my husband within the first month. We moved in together 3.5 months after we met. We’ve been married almost 9 years.
Valentine’s 2022 is still a year away. Things could change between now & then. Or they could be more in love than ever.
Honestly, only time will tell.
They set a date a year out, she’s known him a year. That leaves enough time for her to figure it out before they get married. If she asks your opinion you can say you feel she’s going quickly, but I got engaged to my husband after a year and we got married after just over 2 years. I don’t think that’s an extremely fast wedding for dating adults who have had prior life experience and know what they are looking for in a relationship. If she’s having doubts, that’s a sign she needs to re-examine the quality of her relationship. But it’s not really your business to tell her what to do or what not to do.
8 months of dating, boom, married, 17 years ago! It’s possible, no matter How long the engagement, the problem is with the commitment. When times get tough are they going to pull up their boot straps or tuck and run? That’s what marriage is about. No amount of dating beforehand will determine the level of commitment someone has until there is an issue and they can’t just break up.
My old neighbors got married after 10 days of knowing each other and had been together for 12 years by the time i met them. Have 2 littles and are a prime example of a loving husband and wife. They said when you know you just know. Theres no time line for love.
I mean, February 2022 they would have known each other 2 years, right? I think that is plenty of time. Time isn’t the issue here. What she needs to do is figure out if she wants to be married or not. Once she figures that out then she’s good.
My dating time line is kind of weird too with my husband. After the first date he pretty much moved in with me and we got married after 8 months, got pregnant 5 months after we got married, now we had a kid going off to kindergarten in the fall
I was engaged and then married my husband within 1 year. We have been married 3 years and 4 months🙂
No marriage is 100% guaranteed!!! Maybe they should try living together for a year or so. Marriage is easy to get into, but hell to get out of.
I think if she’s happy and they have the date another year from now then it gives her time to realize if she really loves him or if she just don’t wanna be alone. My bigger question wouldn’t be is she making the right choice but why did HE purpose so fast. Does she have good money? Is he using her or just really in love with her. I would question his motives or maybe sit them both down together and explain as a friend ur worried their rushing into things and just ask, are you guys doing this for love or another reason. Make sure they realize that marriage can be fun and a great thing but it’s easy to get into a marriage hell to get out of one of it goes south… Just suggest they live together and have time together first before getting married right away.
She’s a grown women who should do what she feels is right. As long as she is not in any danger it’s her journey to take. Be supportive and happy for her. She is the one that has to live this life.
I was recently separated waiting on my divorce when my now husband proposed we was only together 3 months and married at 9months been happy for 4 years now and have a total of 6 kids from our previous marriages. This will be our 3 year wedding anniversary
My husband asked me to marry him after 10 days and we been together for 6 years
I married my husband after 9 months of knowing him & we will celebrate 19 years in August.
My parents met and eloped after 8 weeks… 35 years together this July 
I met and married my husband within 5 months and we’re going on 8 years. Sometimes people just know and no marriage is 100% people divorce after 20-30 years
Sometimes when you know, you know! I’ve always been a planner, very diligent in every single detail of life. I never rushed things. Always took a long time to think things through. Then I met my husband. We fell head over heels, very quickly. Completely out of character for me. Engaged within 6 months (
I know!) and we’ve been together now for 8 years and have two beautiful children. Sometimes, and especially after you’ve been through some terrible relationships, you realize exactly what you want (and don’t want). When you find someone that shares your goals, I say go for it. Was I terrified at times that things could go wrong? Yes-and so was he. But what if, what if things went right? 
and they did!
2022 is a great date for something like this
8 months married 30 years
I got engaged 
with my hubby after 2 months, now 11 years later with two boys 
we are very happy!
I think that if your friend feels it go for it!!
Not your choice who your friend marries. Sometimes you just know as soon as you meet someone that that is your person
It was a year from when we started dating to married. We now have 4 kinds and have been married 5 years
We got engaged 6 months after dating. Married after 2 years of dating. Been married 3 1/2 years with a 2 year old daughter
I met my husband in august of 2020, started talking about marriage by december 2020, and got married march 2021.
My husband proposed 6 months in and we have been happily together for 5 years and married for 2. Wouldnt change it!
Let’s call her Anna and him Hans “of the southern isles”
Just sit back and see what happens.
Not your relationship, not your problem. She’s grown up
I dated my now husband for 4 months before we got married and now it’s been almost 16 years
Worry about yourself 
Let them decide only they no good luck to them both for the future xx
I had my 1st date with my husband Jan. Got engaged in June & had a big beautiful wedding in oct. of the same year. We just had our 50th anniversary in oct.
I don’t think there’s a time limit on things. Some people date each other forever and can’t make a marriage work, some people get married super fast and grow old together. I think it’s just a matter of whether or not two people have the same level of commitment.
I met my husband and within 4 months we were living together. Had a baby 2 years later. He’s still my husband and we been together for 8 years now.
My husband and I were talking about marriage around 4 or 5 months into dating. He didn’t propose until around a year of dating because he custom made my ring and took a long time to design it. But we’ve been together for 7.5 years, married for 5.5, and we’ve never been happier. Sometimes you just know. She needs to figure out if she really loves him and wants to be with him. Or if it’s just the idea of marriage that sounds great.
Some people want a wedding, NOT a marriage.
My husband and I met, moved in had a baby and got engaged in just under a year. Married before 2 years and have a great marriage. Happiness doesn’t run on a set time line. If she is happy and it’s what she wants, be supportive and join in her excitement
My sister married a guy who was her first real serious relationship. They were not together long before they moved in together or got married. I wasn’t sure it would last, but they’ve now been married for 15 years.
As for me and my husband, we were together for 5 years before we got engaged, and had a year long engagement. We got married on our 6 year anniversary. We’ve now been together for 23 years, married for 17.
I think it just depends on how strong the relationship is. Anyone can make it work, if both people are making their best efforts. 
Wish her luck! No one can predict how any marraige will turn out. Whether its a month or a decade to wait after meeting, its a roll of the dice, at best. Wish her happiness, and if you are truly her friend, you will still be there if it doesnt work out, right?
An elderly woman I took care of met her husband and a week…yes, a week later they got married and were together for over 50 years until he passed
