So I'm a wee bit nervous for my SIL..

Well, when some people get engaged they don't want to wait two years, they want to do it as soon as possible. Maybe think of it as a blessing in disguise. You won't have to hear about wedding plans for months and months. People that wait two years to get married get divorced, people who wait 2 months get divorced.

i'd be concerned too, especially if i hadn't met him personally and had no other basis for my opinion other than his past and their rapidity.

that said, my parents were married after only knowing each other 8-9 months and it worked out okay.

I'd be worried too if my sister was engaged to a drug dealer. I hope things work out for the best.

I live in Utah so I know people who went from first date to married in 4-5 months. His past would make me wary of him having never met him.

This is pretty much how I did things. My H didn't have the background that this guy does but our timeline was similar. We met in May, started dating in June, and we were married the following March. We were 21 and 23 at the time. We are going through a pretty hard time right now.

There probably isn't anything you can do, but I do understand you're concern. It's a tough place to be in.

I would be more concerned about his background than the timeline. Many people have short engagements and long, happy marriages. I would be concerned knowing his background, but hopefully it works out for her and he is a different man now!

I hope it works, out too!

He seems to have turned his life around for sure. So that's great. They've also never kissed, I know that works for some people, but man I can't imagine!

Maybe thats the rush. They're just horny.

They are getting married to bone I would bet.

Hopefully no kids right away.

I had a couple of friends who got married right out of HS because they wanted to be virgins when they married and couldn't wait any longer.
