Being engaged has made me go soft...

in Not Engaged Yet
I know this because I went to Target yesterday to get a card for my friend (who is getting married this afternoon) and reading all the different cards damn near made me cry in the middle of the store.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe I was imagining all the cards as being written for FI and me...

Anybody else have stupid weak moments like that?

    Elle, I definitely hear you on the going soft, though I'm not engaged. I get emotional these days way more about sweet things these days than I used to. For proof, see my recent post. :)

    ETA: I don't think you need to beat yourself up about it and call your reactions stupid or weak! I think your feelings are perfectly natural.

    I get it soft with love songs sometimes, I'm not engaged, but it's nice to be in a relationship where you can think about the happies.

    Yeah, I was really just poking a little fun at myself being all misty over greeting cards.  I'm nto genuinely irritated about it.

    That is sweet Elle.  :)  I think I am going soft too.  I am crying way more then I use too.  Prehaps it is TK?

    *deep sigh*

    No, not yet.  It's a long story, but there have been several intervening "life" events that may have changed our plans somewhat.  Sick grandmother, Mom having problems with work, FI trying to join the National Guard, FI's med school schedule getting changed...

    So we're waiting on several of these things to close and settle so we can re-evaluate our availability and our budget.  I guess it's a good thing we never booked anywhere.

    I cry when I see weddings on TV.  During the vows...cuz I'm a softie like that.

    I also cried once when I saw this lady's shoes...cuz they were that ugly.  Not kidding.

    Aw, I'm sorry! You're right, at least you didn't book anywhere.

    Yeah randomly FI wanted to go back to the marines the other night. So not cool. By the next morning he realized it wasn't the best idea. He randomly has those moods where he wants to go back. Guys.

    I hope everything works out for you!

    So after looking at your 'Wedding Dumping Ground' I realized that we have the same wedding colors! Well almost. We just decided on blue and white (and possibly a little silver instead of tan). Great minds must think alike after all. Laughing

    They were sort of like this:

    but uglier and shiit brown in color.

    I HATE crocks.  Hate them.  BF has a pair and I always cringe when he wears them.

    Agreed.

    And, Liv, I love you for using "heinous." I use that word a lot, and the other day my H was making fun of me for it. He said I sounded like I belonged in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. LOL

    Yeah a little bit.... When I see a girl cry over her dress on SYTTD I tear up a little bit. I don't have much love for my dress anymore due to the dress debacle and being stuck with the first purchase from the shady store. I still drool over the second dress that I wish we had bought instead, and the crazy side of me wants to go back and just buy it so I can have the dress that I dream about.

    Oh yeah. Before I started dating BF I really didn't cry very easily. But now whenever something romantic or sad or anything comes up I'm a freaking water fountain. I don't know if it's because I imagine how great he is or if it's something sad imagining losing him because I've found such a wonderful person...anyways I am definitely so much softer after finding him.

    I bawled at my friend's wedding yesterday. At the church, during a speech, the first dance, the slideshow. I don't even know why I was so emotional haha. But a lot of people cried during the slideshow!
