My husband proposed to me 4 days after we met. I was only 19 at the time. He was on probation for a misdemeanor (theft under $500) - this was his third one, but because of the timing he didn't get a felony.
I met him before I moved, I moved, then I moved back for him. We had no money, no jobs. He was finally able to get work, but then he got into drugs and shoved me out of his life. After three long months of separation, we reconciled and ran away to Dallas. We moved back home (Kansas) and lived with my parents while finding jobs and getting bills paid off and saving money so we could get our own place.
After three years, we were finally married. Things are much improved. He supports us while I attend college. We rent a nice little home and we are able to pay all our bills.

We were hellbent on getting married. We knew we were soulmates. We would have gotten married at the courthouse, but either didn't have time or money. He had a very small ceremony and paid for it and our own honeymoon.
If they truly do love each other, they will be content with a small ceremony and be appreciative of anyone helping them.
