I recently decided to set a date to marry my fiancee. I will finally make an honest man of him. With one really bad first marriage under my belt, this was a really big, personal decision to make. He's been asking me to marry him for years, but I kept saying that I wasn't ready to change our relationship in that way. I don't need marriage to affirm our relationship and feelings for each other, but he seems to need this. He bought me a ring and proposed last October and I didn't have the heart to say no but I procrastinated on setting a date. Now that I've agreed to follow through on this and actually say I do, I'm getting kind of excited now.
Yay! I am so happy for you! I have been engaged since last December and I have not set a date. It is a HUGE commitment and I do not want to do it for the wrong reasons. I hate when people hound me about setting a date...it is not all about the wedding day a lot more comes with it. Not to mention, weddings are expensive and I cannot see myself spending that kind of hard earned money on one day. But, my fiances family is not making the idea of a small wedding comfortable or even possible. But, YES planning is exciting and thinking about actually promising yourself to the person you love is extraordinary! Congratulations and good luck with all your planning :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, Angela....I think that our families finally gave up on us actually doing the deed! lol I'm definitely going with a small wedding. I'm sorry to hear that your fiancee's family is pushing you into something that you aren't comfortable with. It's supposed to be about the two of you with everyone else secondary. Sometimes family has a hard time recognizing that fact. Good luck to you...and don't let them take your pleasure with the whole experience away from you!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! I am so happy for you.Finally!! I hope you have the best day EVER and it doesn't need to be big, it needs to be special to you and your fiancee. No one will remeber how big or small it was, as long as its a great fun day and the two of you have a great time thats all that matters. Enjoy it!!!
