That doesn't change anything on my end. I thought Bella and Edward moved fast as well. They were only together a year before getting engaged, and that's if you ignore that they weren't even together for that long period in New Moon. Really they were only together a year and a half, but I could forgive that with those two because there wasn't a physical attack on Bella by Edward.

Which is what this all comes down to.

Sam and Emily should not have moved as fast as Bella and Edward when Sam had physically scarred. Accident or not, it still happened, which means that Emily should very much have some trust issues being around Sam, and Sam should have the same. I think it would have been better for the two to be engaged closer to the end of Breaking Dawn, or say they were talking about it.

Sam phased in 2004, but he didn't break up with Leah until 2005/6 because she was still trying to get up with him in New Moon after he phased which was in Chapter Six of New Moon which would be January 18th/19th 2006, I would guess this is around the time after Sam had imprinted on Emily, broken up with Leah, Leah was still trying to get in contact with him to figure out what happened, or it could even be before the imprint, either way by Chapter Fourteen of New Moon March 11th 2006, Emily and Sam are engaged.

So, the two were only together about three months before becoming engaged.

Which makes sense as Sam and Emily are said to have not dated long before becoming engaged.

It also fills in because Sam came back and stayed with Leah until he imprinted on Emily, which one would reasons mean there was a good amount of time between the two things happening.
