It really isn't important to think Hannah was being rude, or not, because that isn't the point that scene was trying to make. The important point of that moment is that Hannah and Colin notice that they don't know each other very well. They knew each other for one month before getting engaged, and then decide to get married in two weeks. That means they've only known each other a total of six weeks.
Also, why would Hannah marry Colin if she knew him so little?
Why would Colin marry Hannah if he knew her so little? For the exact same reason why Hannah chose to marry Colin: they were exhilarated over their new relationship and thought love and relationships were based on those kinds of feelings. They thought that was all it took for a marriage to be successful, but they were wrong. Hannah begins to realize that and the film portrays her concerns, but Colin doesn't seem at all concerned.
That's actually more disturbing because either he was too dense to notice, in denial, or running-over her feelings. None of those make for a great way to begin a marriage, most especially the third possibility.
I'm not taking either's side, as it's obvious they were both wrong to enter into an engagement without knowing the partner well. It was almost like Tom's father and his multiple ex wives. He jumps right into marriage when he should take everything slowly and find out if they're really suited for each other. It's interesting that Hannah actually asks Tom if his father doesn't realize he could just date these women rather than marrying all of them. Too bad she didn't take her own advice. But then if she had, there'd be no movie. And Colin was sort of just a plot device anyway, to make Tom realize he was in love with Hannah and wanted to spend his life with her.
but he was saved from an horrid marriage and an even more horrid woman who, in the end, showed little to no remorse for her actions and how she treated him.
Did you forget that this as a silly romcom, not a serious documentary, or docu-drama?
