C'mon Kaley, you know you have to keep the gossip mags in the loop before you decide to put a ring on it.

Wait, what? If you didn't know that Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco was engaged to tennis star Ryan Sweeting, you're not alone — the couple have only been dating for three months. C'mon Kaley, you know you have to keep the gossip mags in the loop before you decide to put a ring on it. Well, it may seem a bit short to some, but there's no way to tell if it's the throes of true love or another doomed celebrity marriage. You just do you, Kaley.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline

Ah yes, the ideal quickie wedding couple. Spears and Federline had only been dating for three months when they got engaged in 2004. We all remember how that sad, twisted love story ended, but at least there was a silver lining: the the fabulous reality show mess that was Chaotic.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

You could blame this failed marriage on the fact that Holmes and Cruise only dated for two months, but really, something weird was going on with this one from the beginning, what with Holmes seeming less like she was in love and more like she had developed Stockholm Syndrome towards her crazy-eyed, couch-jumping beau. Let's just hope Suri learns better.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand

If any celebrities were destined to get engaged too fast, it was Katy Perry and Russell Brand, who started dating in October 2009 and were engaged in December. But unfortunately, what seemed to be a fiery romance fizzled out after barely a year of marriage. But don't cry for Katie — what doesn't kill you makes gives you material for your next album.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom

But hey, not every couple that gets a quickie engagement turns into a complete disaster. Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were married only a month after they met. And even though there has been a lot of weirdness, including Khloe dropping Lamar's last name off her Instagram account, they're still married. Watch Khloe build a weird sex den for Lamar and believe that love is real! Everything will be fine! Right?

Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim

Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim's marriage seems like it should be destined to fail: they were only dating for two months when they got engaged, it's a May-December relationship, she's super gorgeous and he's... Nicolas Cage. But despite all this, they've been married for almost a decade. So if they can make it, why can't Kaley and Ryan?
