My parents met a couple who literally loved each other at first sight, and have a strong relationship, during a party about two years ago. It's not impossible, really.

And BTW, Ariel took three days to actually get to know Eric directly (and presumably months as well, considering the necessary planning between Ariel becoming human permanently via Triton and the wedding taking that amount of time, and that's not even counting her observing Eric's party and the brief moments she could witness his handling of the ship during the storm). That's definitely a lot more than what Aurora got, where she literally knew him for a few minutes at most, and didn't even meet him again until she had just woken up from her coma. And hey, at least she actually observed Eric's actions and knew he was good from his behavior with the sailors and how he handled the storm (and even you have to admit that's a lot more than what the original little mermaid, heck, KHII Ariel got from the prince/KHII Eric where they saved their prince after discovering him adrift, never took the time to observe him while conscious, and in the case of the original tale, fell for him literally only because he resembled a statue she had in her grotto), and you know the old saying, you don't actually know a person's true nature until they do things when they think no one is watching.
