They are getting married

Here is my post from a while back.

They've known each other about a month. The date is 2/14.

Re: They are getting married
WHAT? Wow. We're going to need more info on this lady. Is she widowed as well? Has she been married? Maybe your dad is loaded and she's after his moola
ETA: Sorry if the last part is insensitive. This must be weird for you. Maybe they've both been lonely and really enjoy each others company.
hmm... at least the date is a ways off?
A lot can change between now and then.
Wow. At least they aren't running off to Vegas next weekend, right? A lot can happen between now and February.
My mom died 8.5 years ago and my dad started dating seriously within 3 months. Its definitely been a roller coaster ride. I always feel torn, because I want my dad to be happy, but I seriously question is sanity about the whole thing.

My brother-in-law married his sister-in-law 2 years after my sister died (sounds weird I know). BTW...his brother (her DH) died a year before my sister. My sister's kids (barely adults) felt it was too soon. Probably was. I think he thought his SIL was a lot like my sister...not even close. They were married for 3 years before divorcing. Fortunately, he had her sign a pre-nup (he owns his own business and it was and is doing well - collection agency!). He married again 5 years after that (again a pre-nup was part of the marriage). They are still together...it's been several years.
There are many months between now and next February. Anything can happen in that time.
My DH's Dad remarried I think 2 years after his Mom died... she died in 1997 and him and I got together in 2002. They didn't even tell anyone that they got married until MONTHS after the fact. DH told me that they went out to dinner one night and his Dad was just like, "Oh yeah- Mary and I got married". I *just* found out last March or so when their anniversary is when I asked his Stepmother at a bridal shower we were at together.
For the record I LOVE Dh's stepmom. He does too- she is seriously the nicest woman you will ever meet. It was just so bizarre and random how they were married though- and she lived down the street while DH was growing up too. (She still does live down the street- DH's dad sleeps over there some night and then his house (that DH's sister and her husband live in/own) the other nights).
She is divorced. I really do not know much about her. And- he's definitely NOT loaded. There is just a strange feeling I have about the woman. I LOVED the last woman, so I don't think it's bitterness about my mom.
I am really glad he's happy. He used to come home and sit in his chair until time to go to bed and get up for work again. It's like he was rotting in his house. I just hope this is not his way of dealing with my mom being gone. He usually does really bad around the holidays. Today is the 4 year anniversary of the day we buried her. I wonder if he proposed on the anniversary of her death?
After I posted I went to the store. I just came home and my dad and his girlfriend had gone out to buy my DD a ring, too.
I am really hoping that if he is doing this for the wrong reasons, he comes to his senses by February.
