I'm in a similar situation to you - I'm in my second year of a B.A. in Psych, plan to get my master's after, we've been dating since we were 14, and have lived together for awhile now. We just got engaged, although I'm still waiting on the ring as he's making payments and he plans to do a "real" proposal. We've both agreed that we want to finish undergrad before getting married, so we set our date for the summer between undergrad and grad.  Our parents were a bit wary our senior year of high school when they caught us talking about marriage once. They were really afraid that we'd bury ourselves and end up giving up our careers because the other wasn't supportive enough.  We've showed them that we can succeed together, though, and let them know that our careers are very important to us. Other than sitting down and explaining to your parents that you know it will be tough, but you don't plan to sacrifice your education or future because of the wedding, I'd hope they'd come around. If not, I think you'll just have to show them with your actions and wait for them to realize that you have your head on straight. (For lack of a better term.)

For this reason, my bf wants to wait til after I graduate. I'm a year away from graduating and my bf and I know my parents would be upset if I didnt atleast finish my degree before getting engaged. I think it's a bit antiquated, but we're in no rush either so it all works out to our favor plus he just started his Masters.

Hey sapphirelady15. I'm sorry your parents are giving you such a hard time about not getting married now, and that your FI are pressuring you to get married! You did't really mention it...when do YOU want to get married? By the way, I graduated with a degree in fine arts too...and I agree, getting your masters is important in this field (at least what I hear). I only have a BA in fine arts, and since graduating have not gotten a job in the art field.  The reason is probably that I don't know specifically what I want to do...if I would have specialized in something more specific, that probably would have happened. But I'm too indecisive for that. Right now, I would not be ready to get a Masters...so you have to do what's right for you. But yes, let us know more about what exactly you want. What do you see as your wedding/school timeline?

My dad made me promise that I wouldn't get married until after I graduated and his parents asked the same thing.  I guess they think that it would be too hard to be married and be in college or maybe the planning in college.  Maybe you could tell your parents that you are going to wait a little while but you wanted to look at things so that you will be more educated when you decide to start planning.

Hey there, Hive! Today's post is a little rant-ish, but I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I'm 22, and about a year and a half away from achieving my bachelor's of fine arts degree. My FI proposed in late March, but since then, nothing wedding-related has happened. AT ALL. It seems as though my parents are almost anti-wedding. One parent has the same degree as I am pursuing, and every time I bring up wanting to be finished with school, they cut in with "not yet", and when family members have asked about the wedding and when it is, and I say that I'd like it to be after my B.F.A., that parent interjects and makes sure it's known that I "have to get a master's first" because the art world is hard to get a job in without one. So then the family members hear that, the subject gets dropped and I don't really feel excited about getting married anymore, just anxious and a little sad. Yes, right now is a bad time to get married; we have no money set aside yet and other issues, but it's not like we're planning a huge blowout. We're a fairly low-key couple and want a small wedding. I just want to be able to start planning and not have people treating me like my wedding is nothing special. My FI's parents keep asking why we haven't started planning anything yet and urging us to get to the church to start the process.*sigh* Has anyone else had something like this happen, and if so, how did you deal with it? I don't want to get married tomorrow or anything, but it'd just be nice to be able to look at wedding things without almost feeling guilty. I know my parents are just looking out for me, but still...

Well it depends who the friend is!!!But if its a weekend trip then I would say no more than $500. But like almost everyone else said if its for a week or so then up to $2000.
