I think they didn't have to propose back then. I think what makes it seem fast is Mary only has just realized her love for Matthew. She's trying to catch up but just as she does, Matthew's ahead of her now to ask for marriage.
Sigh, remember those days? I never thought M/M would be 5 years later and still not be together. Sigh, my original idea of how M/M should get together would be no extra triangles (though Matthew being in service might have slept with a girl in France to help get over Mary which didn't work and he felt guilty about it). And my thoughts were for them to get engaged around fall of 1917. When they look at when to have a wedding date, he would hope they could try to do it in a specific day in March. She thinks that is too soon but he seems to really want that date for some reason. She asks him why and he (shyly) tells her that is the 5 year anniversary when they met and how he fell for her, but she didn't seem to even like him. (Yea, I know the war was still going on but I figured JF could find a way around that).
