in Not Engaged Yet
BF and I just got back from vacation. And although there was no proposal.. he did tell me he thinks we should start looking at venues. I don't want to actually go look until we are engaged.. which will probably be around sept when the roommate moves out. We are planning on getting married next summer, so I know we have plenty of time but it would also kind of be nice to start some kind of budget or something since we are also working on remodeling our house. I'm not sure what I'm really asking here.. I just need some opinions. The second question.. which is an actual question and I know that some of you on here have been rock climbing. I've been wanting to go with BF since the indoor gym is only a few minutes away. I'm not sure though how much of BF's and my size difference will make. He is 6'4 210 and I am 5'4 125. I've been a couple times but with a friend my size. Will it be harder for us / me with the rope?

    As per the getting engaged stuff, September aint that far away so be patient.  But if wants to look at venues and stuff just to get an idea of your budget then why not go along with it?  I'm getting married next summer and we booked our church and reception venue in April of this year.  Not sure where you live but places around here book a year in advance. As for the rock climbing, I have no idea but it sounds fun.

    I can answer the rock climbing part. If you guys won't be lead climbing, it won't be too big of a deal since the falls won't be very far. You may get lifted a little, but it's never bothered me when it's happened. As long as you have the rope locked off it's fine. If you are worried though or if he will be lead climbing, most gyms have short ropes or bungee's attached to a caribiner attached to the floor(hopefully that makes sense). You just hook the back of the harness into the caribiner, so you won't get lifted far.

    Actually a funny little add on to it. I once saw a young boy lead climbing on a roof and a young girl was belaying for him(it was a camp or something). Anyway the boy fell far and the girl got lifted and their weight made them even out, so they were both just hanging there off of the ground. Staff had to pull the girl down so the boy could get back on the wall.

    If your BF wants to look, I don't see anything too wrong with it... although you do have plenty of time, and I'd suggest letting him know that you'd rather be engaged when you start looking at venues. Just see what he says, he might agree with you.Rock climbing--- yes, you will get lifted up if you are belaying and he falls. Make sure you are properly anchored to the floor (if you'll be indoors) or to a tree or other very sturdy object (should you ever climb outdoors).Most indoor places have something you can anchor to (as pp said), and actually most places really encourage you to anchor, even if the heavier person is belaying.

    I am getting married next summer.My venue has been booked since may. They were already so full I had to take a date in July when I had wanted a date in June. Sorry I don't know anything about rock climbing.

    I love climbing:).. at the gyms they have anchors that you hook into which hold you to the ground when you are belaying. this makes it so if he is climbing, and he falls, you wont fly up. the anchor will keep you in place! when you are climbing and fall, there will be no problem. his weight will hold you down.   my fiance is 6'2 and 200 lbs, and i'm 5'4 and 130.. so pretty much same thing.

    I definitely think you should start looking into venues. Summer months are prime wedding season, and places are typically booked up at least a year in advance, sometimes more. I can understand not wanting to look until you're engaged, but if you have a specific date and/or venue in mind, you might have to get on it sooner rather than later.
    He pretty much had me at "hello".

    Don't worry about being official. You wouldn't be on this website if you weren't a modern, organized, bride-to-be. I say start planning now. He probably still needs time to save for a ring. Until then, you're going to need to know how much money you need to save, and to find that out, you're going to have to know how many people you want to come and where you want to do it. And then add five grand. And while you do have plenty of time to plan, venues book fast. I'm getting hitched sept 2010, and when I looked in June, the venue I wanted was booked on the date I wanted. So go ahead and start getting your ducks in a row now. That way when he does officially propose, you'll have the answers to the most annoying questions: where and when is the wedding?

    I'm NEY... we've looked at rings, found what I want.. etc.. etc.   I don't want a long engagement AND I want a fall wedding as in THIS fall wedding :)   The boyfriend is on board with this crazy idea... and we're going to look at a venue Thursday.   At first I was a little hesitant, didn't want to jinx things by doing things before the ring.... but I've come to realize, if I'm sticking to a Fall wedding, I need to get a move on ;)
