Courtney Webb and Ryan Spencer were dating for less than eight months before they decided to take the plunge.

“My parents were like, ‘Whoa, are you sure you’re ready to get married? This is moving along really, really fast, but if you’re happy, we’re happy,’” said Ms. Webb, 29, who lives in Manhattan and is an owner of TriMix Fitness, a fitness studio in Greenwich, Conn.

“I guess you could say we’ve had a whirlwind romance,” she said. “But I’m someone who has become used to moving along pretty quickly.”

Ms. Webb, who is hoping to qualify as a skeleton athlete at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, has indeed been moving along rapidly the past few years.
