Hello. I have no where else to go.
in Chit Chat
No one is on my Month board. 
I hope it's okay that I post here.
I hope it's okay that I post here.My name is Sara. While my bf and I aren't "officially" engaged (there is yet to be a ring on my finger), we are already starting to plan the wedding. We have a date (2.6.16), he has the ring, we know almost all the details we want. The reason the ring isn't on my finger yet.....He has a "plan." I know the plan consists of an abundant amount of snow, which until this past weekend we have had NONE. He did tell me that if the amount of snow isn't to his liking by a certain time, he has a plan B. He says that both of his plans are how my first proposal should have been (this will be my 2nd marriage).
We've been together for almost 2 years. When we met, neither of us were looking for a relationship. I was going through a divorce and enjoying being single for the first time, and he just was...single and not looking. And we proudly say we met the "old fashioned way"... in a bar. In our hometown bar that we both frequented regularly but never even saw each other until that night. If fate is a thing... lol.
Ummm, other things about me. I have a daughter. I'm finishing Real Estate school (just have to take my final). I have a guilty pleasure for reality TV. I LOVE music, mostly alternative. And I'm obsessed with the 90s (BEST. DECADE. EVER.)

Welcome! My month board was pretty slow too, even my local board which is a fairly big city. We are super chatty here so stick around and get hooked!
Many of us got engaged in our bedroom/ kitchen/ couch/ car/ etc, so it's sweet that he wants to do something big and showy but you can always encourage him that it doesn't matter.
Have you looked at any venues? Are you thinking big/ small?
If you're planning a wedding then congrats You're Engaged! You don't need a ring or a fancy proposal to be "officially" engaged, just a mutual agreement that yes, you both want to get married, and have the intent to do so - which you do, as you've already settled on a date and are planning other details.
If you don't really consider yourselves engaged, then stop planning for now. I promise there will be MORE than enough time for that later. In the meantime, enjoy the time you have with your SO and try to find fun ways to keep yourself occupied until he "officially" asks. If you need some other ways to waste time, we're always willing to help out with that on the "Not Yet Engaged" board.

My month board was pretty slow when I first joined TK, about 11 months before I got married. It picked up quite a bit in the 3 or 4 months before the wedding. I also spent some time on my local board, which is one of the more active ones. But I mostly hung out here and on the Etiquette board, which is super helpful and I recommend you check it out.
One thing to remember, the ladies (and occasional gentlemen) on here can be blunt sometimes, so you may have to develop a thick skin, but we really are trying to help. Don't take it personally if a response is not to your liking. :-)
You've already picked a wedding date. What else do you have planned so far?
