    Just got engaged yesterday and I'm so excited! People are already asking me about the wedding though... is that normal? Can't I just enjoy my engagement for a few days?

     

    Sorry the picture is crappy. I used my FIANCEE'S (sounds weird saying that!) blackberry.

    congrats and yes, perfectly normal to be bombarded with "so when is the date, what are you wearing, am i invited, can i be a bridesmaid" blah blah blah

    my advise is dont rush into anything (ie ask 6 friends to be bridesmaids) and enjoy!

    Congratulations!!

    And yes, it's normal... But I don't get it.  People asked me when we were getting married less than an HOUR after he popped the question (which was a complete surprise!)... Like I was supposed to plan a wedding in that first hour. lol

    @o0olibelulao0o:Exactly! It's like "Will you marry me?" "Yes" "When?" "July 28 2012" "Where?" "At the country club" "What song do you want to have our first dance to?" It's not like that! Haha! Just give me a few days!

    Definitely normal. As soon as we announced our engagement, people were asking if we'd set a date yet.

    Congratulations! I love your ring. :)

    Congratulations!!!!! Love the ring, welcome to the wonderful world of saying FIANCEE every 2 minutes! lol

    We had a family party the day after he proposed, we were bombarded with questions!!! One person already asked me where we are going to live after the wedding! So yes, normal, annoying, but they all mean well. Happy planning!

    Beautiful and congrats!  Yup, seeing the engagement ring is almost always followed by wedding questions.  Some people know the date before the engagement.  Yeah, I didn't know the date until about 6 month after the proposal.

    Congrats!!!  So, when's the date?  Just kidding!  Everyone, will assume you're already that far into the planning. Enjoy your engagement, and start planning when you're ready.
