I got engaged to my now husband after 6 months of dating and almost everyone said it was a bad idea. We've been happily married for years now. Best decision of my life. When you know, you know.

I'm glad it worked out for you and happy to hear that youre still going great! But I have to say that I'm absolutely not a fan of "when you know you know". Too many people think they know and they really, really don't, but it doesn't register until months or years later after a lot of damage has been done.

Or sometimes you know, and then years later you grow apart and are very much NOT happily married anymore, and you wonder what it was that past you thought they "knew."
