Any undergrad engaged students out there?!

kbracero1

I am a senior in college and me and my fiance just got engaged on Sept. 1st We decided on a long term engagement because he still has another year of school to go before he graduates and we both want to be done with school before getting hitched. I'm so excited though, we set a date and I've been having so much fun planning!  What about you guys?

That's great! Congrads! We are waiting until early Oct. 2014 because he graduates in August and we wanted to give a little time afterwards until the wedding

We got engaged during the fall term of my last year of undergrad (last November). I'm done school and working now, and we're getting married next July. It'll be a 20 month engagement in total. I definitely don't think being engaged near the end of your undergrad is unusual. Heck, by then, I found some people were already married!

I got married and I am still in my undergrads.  I love it.  I managed to alienate a whole class of freshman when I told them I was married, they looked at me like I was nuts.  It was so funny.  I am a junior.  I also think it is common to be engaged by senior year.

I'm in undergrad and my school has a "ring by spring" (of senior year) joke, although it doesn't happen as much as it used to. There's actually a girl in one of my classes that's already married. I got engaged my junior year and am planning to get married about a month after graduation. While that sounds crazy to me, it'll actually be easier than our original plan of in the middle of my first year in grad school. We just changed the date and I'm freaking out, because it just got real and we actually have to start planning.

I'm engaged and finishing undergrad.  I'm actually graduating a year early and we're getting married two weeks after graduation.  It's honestly not that bad planning everything.  And I'm definitely not the only one engaged in most of my classes.

I am graduating this December. We got engaged on September 2nd. We are having a long engagement and getting married in May 2014. We are getting the major things out of the way now like the venue and some details.

We got engaged January of my junior year and had a 30 month engagement due to his schooling.  It's do-able but take the long engagement to allow yourself time to learn what you do and don't like.  If I had the wedding I "wanted" when I first got engaged, it wouldn't have been what I truly wanted.  The wedding we had, thanks to me searching and searching, was beyond amazingly perfect!  Don't be afraid to change your mind!

Annas2013

I would agree that a long engagement is probably a good idea.  Ours is 17 months by the time we'll get married in May.  It seems like forever, but it helps.

KellyBrian2013

I'm married and finishing my undergrad (hopefully) this year. We got engaged a year and a half ago and got married this past August, between my summer and fall semesters.

kwalker234

We got engaged this July, 2012. He graduates in May, I graduate next December. We're planning on a Sept 2014 wedding. We both wanted time to get on our feet a little before getting married. I also didn't want to plan while I was in school. We're getting venue and some other details out of the way, but saving the heavy planning for later.

I graduate Dec. 7. FI has been done with school since 2010. We're getting married in 2 months.

I feel like such a youngin. I'm a sophmore in college now, but have been engaged since senior year in high school. My FI is graduating next fall, but are waiting to have the wedding till August of 2014. I'll still be in school then, but only have about 1 year left. I've been looking for venues and the other biggies, but haven't really considered any until this year.

Nessasaurus

We got engaged this July. He graduated college in Spring 2010 and I will be graduating in Spring 2014 (hopefully) but we will be getting married on May 2013. By the time we get married I would only have one year left in college, he works full time and I work part time so we decided that the timing was just right for us Only 6 months to go!!

Beautifly2211

I graduate in august next year and am getting married in june of next year. By then we will be engaged for almost 2 years. This because of being a student, it took us longer to save money for the wedding and everything.  I don't mind being a married student at all, I actually like the idea of living and studying together (:

I am currently working on my undergrad and will be married before I finish (May 3rd, 2014). My fiance will be done with school next spring, but will start working on his Masters. We got engaged on Feb 11, 2012, we are having a long engagement, but let me tell you it goes by fast! We have almost been engaged for a year already!!! I have started planning and its super exciting, but it can be stressful when you need to make time for school, work, and planning! IT CAN BE DONE!

Wishing you luck! if you need anything let me know.

I am a senior in undergraduate school and I got engaged in Oct 2011 and I am getting married on May 25th, 2013. I get married a week after I graduate! CRAZY!

samii211

I am a sophomore in college and my fiance is a senior. We've been together for 4 years and we are getting married in July 2015. BUT we also have a 2 year old together, so our families constantly ask when are we getting married.

J&T=1207

My FH proposed my sophomore year in college We came public with it a year later and now I'm halfway through my junior year. We'll be getting married sometime at the end of my senior year or not long after I graduate. I was so happy to find the love of my love so early!

BananaPancakes14

My fiance and I are sophmores, but we both took time off from school so I'm 21 and he's 22. Right now we have no idea when we're going to get married, but because we're long distance during the school year we'll probably decide to wait until we graduate.

I'm in my sophmore year of nursing school, but i'm also a returning student. I'm 25 and the majority of my classmates are 19. I got engaged before first year and got married 5 weeks ago. It's possible to do school, work and plan a wedding. Lots of my classmates were annoying about asking about the wedding and whatever, I just brushed them off. It's none of their business.

mrsjmwolfe

I got engaged my junior year (FI already graduated at that point and he is also in the military) and we are getting married a few weeks after I graduate with my bachelors! It's definitely possible, and we originally planned on a super long engagement, but it worked out for us on many levels to just push it up to right after graduation!

jenphotochick

I'm currently a Senior and graduate in may, but my FI is a returning student just starting out so he has a LONG road ahead of him, Date set for 10/30/13

</div><div>Congrats! I'm just finishing off my senior year of college, and will be graduating in December. My fiance proposed on September 15th. He's working on his Master's degree, and I will be beginning studies for an Associate's degree for Veterinary Technician beginning October 2013. Because of the crazy school schedules, we're holding off until June 2014 to tie the knot. I will hopefully just be wrapping up the Associate's degree then, and he may be holding off on going for a Doctorate degree until after I finish mine. I'm having fun working on preliminary planning, it's just trying to nail down a location to have it that is frustrating me! haha :)

We got engaged at the beginning of this month, and we are both in our last year of undergrad. We are getting married in May of 2014 because I am in a 5 year dual bachelor's/master's program and I student teach next fall!

I'm half way through my junior year pursuing BA in Journalism. We're getting married in a month!

6 months until graduation for my BSN ! We got engaged 3 years ago and will be engaged for 4 years before the wedding 8-25-2013. It's long and will go by in the blink of an eye. I feel like it was just yesterday he popped the question when I was a freshman.

I'm a junior, and am getting married at the end of this school year People say we should wait but I feel like life will ALWAYS be crazy! lol being a student is just one aspect of who I am, so I figure why wait??! Plus, my FI knows how important school is to me, and grad school too! I'll be a student for the first 3 years of our marriage at least

and2dodillydo

Thank you all for making me feel SO much better about my early engagement. I am currently a freshman, but my fiance and I have been togeth since my junior year of high school and are planning the wedding for the summer between my junior and senior year. Most of the people we know are always saying "you guys are crazy, you are much too young" so its really nice to know there are other people out there like us. (:
