    OP, please go read this:

    And realize that regardless of your personal beliefs, if you are not engaged yet, this board will not be supportive of you planning.

    There are many benefits to waiting until you're engaged to start planning. So slow it down.

    This!

    You aren't engaged. STOP PLANNING. You can sufficiently plan a wedding in under 6 months. Trust me.

    TK may support BSC and such, but we shall not. That being said, Enjoy where you and BF are in your relationship. STOP PLANNING.


    Have I made my point clear enough??

    [QUOTE]Sreen Name: mrssuero <strong>Age:  23</strong> Significant Other's Age:  22, 23 in October What You Do: Full time nanny, part time photographer, graduating from university in 5 months What SO Does: Works for Starbuck's distribution, and a freelance graphic and web design er State of Relationship:  Dating/courting How Long You've <strong>Been Together: 17 months</strong> When You're Getting Married (if you're engaged): <strong>I'm planning 2012! haha. Actually...I'm planning April 28th, 2012. Don't make fun of me please lol!</strong> When You Got Married (if you're married): never been married Fur Babies: We have a kitty together. He used to live with me, now lives with bf. He's almost 1 year old and his name is Chief Favorite Color: blues Favorite Thing About Your SO: His GORGEOUS eyes, his determination, his compassion, and his sweet nature Least Favorite Thing About Your SO:  He is a big spender, but is getting way better at budgeting Hobbies/Activities: Um...planning my wedding! I love to read. Hang out with my bff. Dates with my honey. Describe Your Personality: I'm a type A, extreme planner, but I absolutely loved to be surprised at the same time. Snark Level (1 [low snark] - 10 [high snark]): Um...no idea. Somewhat low. Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself: Ok, not trying to be a snob, but there are quite a few things that I think make me interesting or just different from some people, so I'm just gonna list them. This way I'll get some info about me out there and you all can know me better :) 1. I'm totally obsessed with childbirth. I even became a doula and am just so enthralled by it. 2. I have a big heart for orphans and special needs kids (having 2 of my brothers adopted from China at an older age). Hoping to work in an orphanage together with bf once we're married. 3. I'm obsessed with cultural differences and am a Cultural Studies major. <strong>4. I have my wedding dress picked out and my grandma is ordering it for me this month. Yeah...I'm not engaged yet, but bf keeps telling me it's way sooner than I'm expecting and he has a plan that's in action, so I'm just gonna do my thing lol 5.</strong> Bf and I have a really strong mutual faith. We're also abstinent, will not be living together before we're married, and will be having a relatively short engagement (6 months max) as it's a part of our beliefs. 6. Besides the dress which my grandma is buying, bf and I have already discussed a wedding budget and will be paying entirely on our own. Hoping not to take out a loan and just do it simple and cheap since we already have so many student loans together. 7. My mama will be walking me down the aisle. My ex-father will not be invited to the wedding...or to anything involving me. Also, just want to add that there are so many boards I could be on and have no idea where to start. I'm trying to get in shape and lose weight. I'm a Pennsylvania or Maryland future bride...not sure where yet. I live in PA but am from Maryland and so is most of my family. It would be like 45 mins away so I have lots of options. BF is Dominican and so we're an interracial couple. Lots of his family speaks no English, including his mom...so that gets interesting sometimes. I just really don't want to post to every board because I'll never get to know anyone and I really would love to! ~Rachel

    That's why we strongly suggest lurking before posting. It doesn't matter how much you like to plan.  You're not engaged (don't say "unofficially" or we will post pictures of kittens and claim that you killed them), so you shouldn't be planning.  It doesn't matter how secure or happy you feel in your relationship. You're not engaged. Don't plan.  'Nuff said.

    <div>This. I don't understand people who just randomly post without looking at everything else. It took me forever before I actually got the courage up to start posting. Especially with all the crazy around here lately you would think people would realize that they are going to get flamed when they post stuff like this. Oh well, let them whine when they do. Oh, and if you are a "Type A Planner" than you don't do anything without really thinking about it first and therefore would have thoroughly researched the board before posting....</div>

    [QUOTE]Well, there's a lot of other things I do in life besides plan a wedding. And it's not like I'm going to be all "Oooh I found the perfect xyz for my wedding" before I'm engaged. I'm just saying, I do plan, and have always planned since before I was even with bf. I even have a certificate in professional wedding planning from Penn Foster, so it's a part of what makes me me.  If you're not engaged, yet not into your future engagement/wedding/marriage, why would we be on this board? Maybe I am on the wrong board, but honestly, if people can post about things like "I think he got the ring!" or "I think he's about to propose" whereas I'm not worried about the "whens" because I'm secure in my relationship and am actually living happily in the moment, why is that a problem? I feel like those posts are way more unhealthy and living in the future than mine would be.  I have real friends to talk about movies and my job etc. with, but theknot.com is about weddings and this particular board I thought was for girls like me who have not made it official yet. I guess I had the wrong idea...
    Posted by MrsSuero[/QUOTE]


    I think you just want to slow your roll a bit.  If the ring is coming, let it come.  THEN buy the dress and plan the wedding.

    Plus, MD/PA area is awesome - there are tons of great places to get married there!

    As for the "I think he got the ring" posts, note that we normally tell those girls to go get a hobby or that he probably bought a purple sparkly unicorn.  Plus, it's a lot easier to not thing someone's crazy when we've been talking with them for awhile - so you don't want to come off the wrong way initially.
    I guess, to tell you the truth, I've never had much of a desire to grow facial hair. I think I've managed to play quarterback just fine without a mustache. - Peyton

    I know!!!! I'm still recovering from HP last night and getting up for work this morning. It's too early for this stuff.

    OP (if you're still around) the ladies here really mean well. We will never validate crazy. We don't encourage dress shopping before the proposal. We don't accept pre-planning because "I'm a planner". If you had lurked and read the sticky post up top, you would have realized that.

    My grandma would look at me and go "What the hell are you thinking girl?!" My other grandma would be like "Now don't you think you should wait for him to propose dear? Oh dear oh dear."

    Either way, neither of them would be all "Oh yes this is a fabulous idea!"
