Weddingbee boards

I am kind of dealing with the same thing. The boy and I aren't engaged yet, but live together. We have a year until school ends and the pressure for us to get engaged and married is coming from everywhere. I can't wait until the day he proposes but we have NO money to afford any sort of ring that I would want nor anything other than a court house wedding. You only get married once (well idealy) so that is just not happening.

In the end you have to do what is right in your relationship. You can plan your wedding and still persue your education-and shouldn't feel guilty about it...I am not technically engaged yet (no ring or proposal but we're starting to plan everything) but planning is something that takes time. It is YOUR big day, don't let them ruin it! :D

What does your FI say when you talk about it? Does he want to start plannning/is he excited?
