Delaware

Introduction! kind of long...:)

Well didn't know to do this, but just read the "welcome" post and so I will...

Actally , I am not engaged yet! I am 26 and my boyfrined, Brian is 27. We are planning our wedding and are getting married on May 6,2011. Our venue is booked and with it only being 5 months and 2 weeks away I am planning without the ring! haha.

Okay so the story is I am from Delaware and he is from Indiana. I was a travel nurse and was at the time when we met. He was living in Georgia and came to San Francisco (where I was a travel nurse) to visit a friend for the weekend. She thought we had a lot in common and both single so she introduced us. Boy was she right! we met January 25, 2010 and he moved to San Francisco Feb. 25, 2010! I decided to then take a permanent position and see what happened. I mean, he did move 3,000 miles!! :) It was truly meant to be a God was leading us to each other our whole lives! Both never having relationships (if you want to call them that) lasting longer than a month, have been waiting for each other patiently! Love grew very quickly! with our relationship developing a deepening very fast we were planning to get married in May/June before we knew it! Neither of my parents  could fly out here to meet him. we booked a trip to go to DE to meet the family halloween weekend. Brian would be very brave and meet the family and ask to marrry me all in 3 days!!! ( He had already met my sister which was the biggest battle...and she loves him!) Well with wedding talk of May/June and being a bicoastal bride, I decided to do some browsing for a venue..... I just so happened to find one i love! I called JUST to see what their booking was like and how booked they were for the spring/summer. Well, of course, all Saturday in May/June were booked and only 2 fridays left!! Itwas either end of June or beginning of May. we found out June wasn't good for any of our parents and so we went with 5.6.11!  We took our trip to DE holding onto the secret that the wedding was booked. We wanted to still be respectful to my parents.

Well, Brian did it! Both of my parents love him and they gave him their permission! We have planned to go back to DE for Christmas and apparently (from my probing) I will have a ring by then......but I am waiting patiently! Either way....the planning is ON!!!!!!
Thanks for your advice and help already and for future help!
This wedding planning thing isn't easy, but it is definitely FUN!

And I'll keep you all posted on the ring! ;)

    First off, welcome!

    Second off, you are engaged!  Don't say you aren't!  Not everyone has the money for a ring, and I totally get and respect that.  He asked your parents, he proposed- as far as I am concerned, you have yourself a fiance. 

    Also, a tip for your sake, because I don't want you to get flamed (yelled at over the boards)- don't go around saying you aren't engaged.  Many of the girls on here don't take kindly to that, for some reason- they feel you should be engaged to be planning, and they are often really mean to girls who aren't engaged.  The reason I say that to you is, YOU ARE ENGAGED!  Stand up and be proud to be you and have a wonderful man by your side who wants you forever!  I just don't want to see you hurt when you haven't been on the boards long at all.  Just because you don't have a ring?!  A ring is not everything, don't let it define your engagement Wink

    The girls on this board are awesome, and will help you out in any way possible.  Don't worry that you are down south instead of up north, either- 99.9% of all vendors will travel downstate for free, so don't discount vendors that are up here.  You may surprise yourself!!

    Welcome and CONGRATS!

    Agreed with MBR- you're engaged. If y'all have a date set, you're totally engaged. Just without a ring. No big deal. Congrats!
