It's absolutely insane to get married before at least 6 or 7 years of dating.
It's different for everyone. My wife and I have been married for almost 7 years now. We hit 7 this month. This after less than 5 months of dating. I'd pit our marriage against anyone else's in the 5-15 year range that we know. It has worked for us, though I would not likely recommend our path to everyone.

I said eight years above because I met my husband when we were 14, and we were married at 22. I knew him the whole time, but we only dated for seven months or so.

I suppose that was quite a long time ago? If so it's normal, people married really early back then (my mother was your age when she married).
But to marry after 6 months or a year after knowing each other is asking for serious trouble.
4 years first time, and this one looks like it might be just under 3 or just over 3 years. Engaged but no date yet, other priorities to take care of first.
Sensible people of course. I have an uncle who has been dating for 15 years.
