We just got engaged at the end of February and already people are asking if we have plans. I understand that it's probably normal for people to ask such questions. Here's the deal though, FH and I haven't even decided how we want to get married...if there will even be the wedding everyone(mostly his family) keeps asking about. There are alot of things that come into play why we are not sure how we want to do it yet. His sister's both have sent me emails asking about wedding plans and that their husbands need time in advance to take off work, one of them went as far to tell their vacation plans for the next year. If we did plan a wedding there would be plenty of notice for anyone we wanted there, as anyone would have to travel and ask to take off work. What I don't understand is why they expect us to have date or anything so soon. In my mind I just got engaged!, let me enjoy this and calling him my FI, neither one of us plan on getting married this year 2012 or 2013 we still don't know.
So, what is the best way to say we are not planning anything yet and if we do we'll let you know or send an announcement after we elope?
