So, I've been mulling this over for a while. FI and I have never been "engaged" on Facebook. We didn't do it right away, we called everyone, and just never got around to it. Then I started reading TK, and realized that talking wedding on FB was considered a very bad idea. We've been back and forth over it since, at first we just thought it was a little silly, and then all the craziness happened and we didn't want people asking a ton of questions that we just couldn't answer because everything was so unsure. So, while now we're starting to plan and need to get a guest list together, but since we don't know FI's next base, I'm still not too sure of a timeline, but I can actually start planning all the things I don't need a date for, now.
So part of me thinks "just leave it be." And the other, more AW part of me says that I want to show off my newly sized ring. While our friends know we're engaged, many of them have not seen it because I didn't want to put up pics (and "talk wedding") at the time and they live all over. I guess I could send individual pics,but that seems even weirder. So I feel like a giant AW for wanting to do it now, after we've been engaged almost 6 months (really?!). And then saying to some of the people (who I'm FB friends with but didn't get phone calls, because that's fair number of people), "no really, this has been done, just putting it up here."
Basically, I don't think it's the end of the world to do it, and I kind of want my engagement AW, but I don't want to be an unmitigated ass about it. I'm wondering if I could just change the relationship status over without comment and add ring pics a little later. Or I'm being awful, I'm just suddenly really excited about the wedding again. Thanks for letting me ramble, advice, as always appreciated, as are slaps upside my fool head.
