marriage because of pregnancy?

I have a friend who is a month ahead of me in her pregnancy. She came over today and said that her SO and her were talking about getting married before the baby came, in a court house and then having a wedding after the baby is born and they have money saved up for the wedding they would like. Does that sound like are getting married just because she is pregnant?

I dont know. DH and I were engaged months before I got pregnant but wanted to get married before baby was born just because, so we moved the date up.

Quoting M.C's mommy:“ I have a friend who is a month ahead of me in her pregnancy. She came over today and said that her SO ... [snip!] ... have money saved up for the wedding they would like. Does that sound like are getting married just because she is pregnant?”

Kind of........

ETA:

it sort of sounds like they were going to get married anyway, but they are just doing it sooner than originally planned

I've noticed a lot of people do that... Some say it's because they're "in love" - I think it's because the girl probably doesn't want to be seen without a ring on her finger. It bothers me that Shawn & I are not "officially" engaged or even married yet & we're going to be having another baby soon... But I'm in no rush to go get married... I did want to do it this year, to get it over with & so that people stopped looking at me funny but I said fuck it & we're getting married in 2011 as we had planned before.

Not enough info. Hubby and I were engaged and planning the wedding when we got preggo. We moved the date up so we'd be married before you could tell. I didn't want a maternity wedding dress, or post baby body lol.

They might've been close to getting married anyway so doing it before baby is born isn't really because of the baby.

Nope. That's what my husband and I are doing.

We were engaged before we found out that we were expecting, we decided to get married before the baby came by the JP and after the baby comes and we save up enough money we're going to have our dream wedding =]

we were engaged when we found out we were expecting. so we did the courthouse thing. you never really know bc you dont know what theyve talked about as far as marriage is concerned prior to the pregnancy.

My husband and I didn't get married until my oldest son was 2, lol he was our ring bearer!

I didn't want to rush into marriage just because we had a child, we did it when it was right for us

I could have cared less what anyone thought of me because I didnt have a ring around my finger. My DD's were 8 and 1 when we got married. And if i married my first DD father i would be unhappy in a 13 year relationship.

me and the boyfriend are expecting our first child and there hasnt really been any talk at all about getting married even though we have been told that we need to get married now. but i think we are just going to get married when the time is right for us.

This day in age, I think it's ridiculous to have a shotgun wedding. Most of 'em don't last, anyway. Don't get me wrong, I know some of them do... but rarely.

We're still not married, and we were pressured A LOT during the 1st pregnancy. We'd love to have a wedding, but we just haven't done it yet.

If she is happy be happy for her.

That's how we want it. I was wanting to rush & get married... like I said. But we talked about it & decided just to go with our original plans.

Jaxon will be 3 & Aubrey will be going on 2 when we get married lol. I guess we have the ring bearer & flower girl picked already   We decided on 2011 when I was pregnant with Jaxon... Neither of us want to have a big wedding. We don't dance & he's kind of reserved haha. I don't want a church wedding, I want something that can be done fast & then we can get to the reception. I want it to be nice, but I don't care for a fairytale wedding.

they arent engaged yet, they have talked about marriage before, but thats all. They went ring shopping today and are planning on getting the ring tomorrow. They are young(not in high school young though) and have no credit history so they have to have co-signer. Their co-signer wasnt with them so they had to wait until tomorrow.

Thats how we were. Our wedding was nice, but nothing fancy, it was outside and the reception was held in this big old barn that was renovated and is now used as a party hall.

this is the place
