I GOT ENGAGED THIS WEEKEND! Lavish me with attention!
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 12:08 PM by Worst Username Ever
We have been together for almost 5 years, and I finally got up the courage to ask her. Amazingly, she said yes. She is already my roomie so not much really changes there, but she has a big ol ring on her finger and our families are going crazy. I wanted to share the news with my DU fam!

7. Congratulations!!!!
When i was dating my then boyfriend now husband we always got..."When are you getting engaged?" After we got engaged..."When are you setting the date?...after we got married.."When are you having children?"...after we had a child..."When are you having another child?".

Have the kind of wedding you want, whatever kind that might be, it's about the two of you and not everybody else and they will all be giving you advice and suggestions. So smile and nod your head and then do what you want.

9. Totally.
That is the biggest question "what-is-the-date", and we have not set one. Before that they just wanted to know when we will be married, and there is already talk about the grand-kids, it is hilariuous! We are just taking it one day at a time.

It really is a wonderful time, and it will be a lot of fun. Remember, the two of you must stick to your guns about everything. It's your day! I respected all of my daughter's wishes...they did most of the planning, I was the one to make it happen, and it was a beautiful day! Good luck to you both!
