    We both knew it was right early on in our relationship, so we mutually decided we would get married soon, within a year or two. We sat down and told both of our families, and the the waiting game started.

    He told me in August it'd happen by the end of the year... And we're still not engaged.

    I guess I'm just not quite sure what he's waiting on. I brought this up last night, and told him I was becoming unsure of how he felt because it hasn 't happened yet. He assured me this is still 100% what he wants..

    It's hard because we've already set a date in October and I'm trying to plan, yet also trying not to be too overbearing because we're not "officially" engaged yet.

    I find it hard to not talk to him about wedding things all the time. I try each day to tell myself, "not today.. don't say a word!" but it usually doesn't end up happening.

    I rarely mention "the ring", though, I figure it will happen sooner or later!

    I feel bad because I feel like all this pressure is on him! Anything I can do to relieve it or things I can do to try to keep myself from talking about wedding things to him?

    Maybe if you start a wedding journal, you'll have an outlet to put your ideas or questions and not feel like youre bothering him..on the other hand..if time goes by and still no ring...you have every right to bring it up again...keep us posted!

    Thank you!

    I do have a blog and need to update it more often... It needs to turn into a daily journal. You are right, I do think it would make things better.

    The thing I feel bad about is making decisions without his input, so that's why I'm incessantly blabbing.. but then again, he's a "whatever you want" kind of guy and that's usually the response I get!

    Thank you for the encouragement :)

    And your wedding is a WEEK away!!!! Yay, congrats and good luck, I wish you the best and hope it turns out great.

    If you guys have decided on a date together, I'm sure the ring is coming soon :)  The same thing happened to us... we picked a date and then I had to wait until he proposed.  It's tough!  Just hang in there and know it'll be worth the wait!

    I saved everything in folders online until we got more into the actual plannning mode. Then kind of presented them as options so it dind't seem too overwhelming. I too have a "what ever you want" kind of guy and it feels like pulling teeth sometimes to get a decision out of him.
