Reply to comment by bbygodzilla in Wedding Planner in Ukraine War Has Adapted to Curfews, Blackouts, the determination to keep on living and to be happy is so heartwarming. by TheHuanWhoKnocks

People get married fast so they could move their loved ones to other countries easier. Love is not the primary incentive here. It's same in Russia, people want to leave the country for work and bring their partner with them.

Also a lot of men going off to war. There’s both the “why wait” aspect because they could die at any day, and probably some military benefits that are paid out to spouses

I mean, that and also, living with the possibility of dying at any day makes you slightly more likely to want to “experience everything” before you die

Also if you are a soldier and get killed your wife/husbandgets death benefits. If she is just your gf/bf then they get nothing.
