[QUOTE]21, I don't see why that is important. I don't refer to myself as engaged because I don't want to hurt Jimmy's feelings my bf before his grand proposal of excitement he is planning. If I claim engaged before he does his big proposal.... when we tell everyone after they would be like " what's the big deal? Weren't you already engaged" instead of the reactions like " WOW look, how exciting! Tell us how he proposed!" If I claim engaged now my proposal story would be.... oh... he hasn't. WAY TO MANY AWKWARD COME OUT OF THAT. So... it is just easier to wait. That way I don't ruin his excitement... or anyone else's.

<div>Ok, If you have have agree to get married, AND a wedding date set, AND you are planning a wedding, then you are engaged. You are just engaged w/o a ring, which was your choice when you accepted a free wedding a set a date. Your proposal story is that you won a free wedding so you decided to get married. If that doesn't sound like the fairytale you wanted, TS. Adults make choices, comprises and sometime *gasp* settle. </div><div>
</div><div>And trust me, as someone who is engaged without a ring, NOBODY is going to be less excited then they would normally be when you two announce your engagement and get a ring when you can afford one.</div><div>
</div><div>With two young people such as your selves who have shown such wonderful maturity , forethought and self control, I'm sure your families will jump with joy. </div><div>

I am done with school, college degree, full time job, have an apartment, and pay my own bills. It makes me feel better about what one of pp's said.. I do feel we are responsible and made an okay decision,will everyone agree with it? Probably not, everyone has their own opinions. I hope I didn't offend or upset too many people, that was not my goal. Just putting out my story like everyone else to meet people and make small talk. I don't know all the ins and outs of engagements and weddings. Didn't realize being engaged without a ring was completely okay. I am from a smaller area and have never really heard of that before. I appreciate hearing from other brides that are engaged without a ring. I will talk to my bf/fi about it and see what he thinks

Are you talking about Lennon's comment? I'm pretty sure she was being facetious, seeing as you've not shown us anything to make us think that you are responsible or even mature. You went to a bridal expo when you weren't engaged, accepted a prize intended for women who were actually already planning a wedding (lied about a date even...) and don't want to call yourself engaged until you have *the* perfect proposal story to tell so everyone can jump around you can shower you with OMGs! That doesn't actually ooze of responsibility and maturity, fyi. Glad you put out your story/small talk about not being engaged, winning money for a wedding you weren't having... btw, would you still be getting married May 24, 2014 if you hadn't won the money? Hmm? (Great sign of maturity there too...) You sound like a peach.

And you didn't realize that you could engaged without a ring? So why not go get a $5 if a ring was the only thing keeping you from considering yourself engaged while you waited for the real one? Wow, you grew up in a smaller area, does that mean that you lack common sense or the ability to form your own opinions? Oh and now he is your BF/FI? Again, he is either one or the other. There is no such thing as a BF/FI. You just keep getting better and better.

This.

Sorry, I'm sick to my stomach that someone who actually IS engaged and getting married lost this money. Really sad. If you are engaged that is one thing but to say that you are not because you want someting "perfect" to tell you friends about...again, really young. Look, I hope it all works out for you but at 21, when you go to a bridal expo without being engaged and enter a competition lying about it...sounds like you need to do some soul searching.

The date that we picked is not a lie. Regardless if we won the wedding package or not, the date would be the same. As her boyfriend, I dont want to give her a 5 dollar ring just so it can be "official" i want the moment to mean something and be memorable. And while the wedding might only be one day, it is these days, like high school prom, graduation, your first time out on a date, or even your first kiss that are the memories that we treasure most and are the memories we are going to remember later. And sloppy second proposals are lame and not my style. So deal with it. Its our engagement, our wedding, and our marriage so we will do it our way.

P.S. I GOT THREE PROPOSALS!!! MY MARRIAGE IS THREE TIMES AS VALID!!!!

P.P.S. I'm glad that you called my husband's proposal lame. I'd hate for it to just be heartfelt, spur of the moment and completely full of pure intentions. He really screwed the pooch on that one.

P.P.P.S. He could easily afford a ring when he proposed without one.

He's so lame.

stephieswedding · July 2012

No. Your engagement would be fine, if a little unorthodox. What i am saying is that there is no law defining how engagements are supposed to happen, and that we don't appreciate everyone telling us that the way we want to do things is wrong

<div>1) You claim the date you picked is not a lie, yet according to your GF you didn't actually pick out a date until you won the money. Yet you claim the date would be the same, regardless. Excellent logic there.</div><div>
</div><div>2) You completely missed my point about the $5 ring. You do not need a ring to be engaged. Do your whole romantic "surprise" proposal without a ring and get the ring later. Derp. Are you saying that the proposals of women who didn't have their ring, or with a cheaper ring, don't mean anything and aren't memorable? How shallow and materialistic are you? Seriously.</div><div>
</div><div>3) Sloppy seconds proposals. Read my short story below and then GFY. ;)</div><div>
</div><div>4)I honestly love when people go on and on about how mature they are and then ultimately say "I do what I want". Do you think we don't realize you're going to do what you want? Does you think you're that special? I wish all 21 year olds were as mature as you!</div><div>
</div><div>5) I don't treasure my high school prom. I didn't even want to go to my graduation (high school or college). I don't remember my first time out on a date or my first kiss... I guess I don't follow your "logic" there either.</div><div>
</div><div>Short story time: My dad was living paycheck to paycheck and didn't have any extra money when he proposed to my mom. He proposed without a ring because he knew he wanted to marry her and he just couldn't wait until he could afford a ring for her. She said yes. When my dad got his paycheck he bought her a ring (nothing fancy) and got down on one knee and presented her with the ring and said "Do you still want to marry me?" - But you know, that wasn't memorable and didn't mean anything. It isn't like my mom tells that story ANY TIME she has a chance. How lame of my father to have a sloppy second proposal like that. If only he were cooler like you! GOSH!</div>

<div>Pretty sure you clearly stated that you wanted the proposal to mean something, meaning that you don't think that a proposal like the one mentioned would mean something. And you are correct, there is no law, but entering a contest designed to help people who are actually engaged is really sh!tty of you and your GF. Planning a wedding before you're even engaged is crazy, but thinking that there is nothing wrong with what you did makes me have no respect for you or your GF at all. This is the internet. Your GF came on here talking about how she won money for a wedding but isn't even engaged, and we replied. You and your GF are clearly made for each other... you're both loons.</div>

There is not always defining how engagements happen, but there's some definite rules. Engagement = agreeing to marry each other, exchanging a ring or gift with a promise of marriage, deciding to elope, or any combination of the above. If order to set a date, you agreed to marry. <strong>Also sloppy seconds has two definitions. Either getting with a close friend's ex girlfriend, or the traditional meaning: "To have sex with a woman who has recently had sex with another man and still has the products of their union inside of her."</strong>

[QUOTE]In Response to Re:not engaged but won a wedding : Are you talking about Lennon's comment? <strong><u>I'm pretty sure she was being facetious, seeing as you've not shown us anything to make us think that you are responsible or even mature. </u></strong>You went to a bridal expo when you weren't engaged, accepted a prize intended for women who were actually already planning a wedding (lied about a date even...) and don't want to call yourself engaged until you have *the* perfect proposal story to tell so everyone can jump around you can shower you with OMGs! That doesn't actually ooze of responsibility and maturity, fyi. Glad you put out your story/small talk about not being engaged, winning money for a wedding you weren't having... btw, would you still be getting married May 24, 2014 if you hadn't won the money? Hmm? (Great sign of maturity there too...) You sound like a peach. And you didn't realize that you could engaged without a ring? So why not go get a $5 if a ring was the only thing keeping you from considering yourself engaged while you waited for the real one? Wow, you grew up in a smaller area, does that mean that you lack common sense or the ability to form your own opinions? Oh and now he is your BF/FI? Again, he is either one or the other. There is no such thing as a BF/FI. You just keep getting better and better.

<div>At least some one picked up on that. *eyeroll*</div><div>
</div><div>Also, I guess when Fi takes me out to dinner to give me my ring its just 'sloppy seconds' ...I should remember purell the crap out of it, yah know, to get the other guys cum off of it. </div><div>
</div><div>I'm just so sad that it won't be perfect like prom or my first kiss...gonna go me emo and cry about it. </div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>andplusalso- glad you're saving on the wedding, because divorces are expensive as sh#t.</div>
