    I guess that depends on your definition of engaged.  See new thread <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />

    Okay, First, chill the eff out.
    Second, what you originally came in here saying was that you <strong>BF</strong> has not proposed, and hasn't told his family/friends or anything that this is going on. We are a very understanding group. We just know what BSC behavior does to people. Planning before you and BF are on the same page is NOT bad advice. You made a statement, we responded. Simple as that...
    If you don't want to listen to the advice of seasoned women, who have been here a while, and know what we are talking about...then don't post on our board. I shall reference Cschiano's LOLCat...GTFO with your fail, then.

    Ummm...we are on the same page.  Didn't I just say that when I said he's involved?

    Planning a wedding is a decision to be made by the couple.  WE have made that decision to begin planning.  He actually suggested a JOP but I refused as I want my parents there which is why we agreed on destination and sooner rather than later. 


    This is fun.

    TK supports BSC. We, however, do not.

    You are contradicting yourself all over the place!! You say he hasn't proposed, which according to your other thread, doesn't equal you being engaged.

    Planning, and all the prep work for a wedding, doing that before actually being engaged = BSC

    Quit acting like we are stupid.

    Hilarious.

    Do you feel all validated now?

    Because I'm sorry, but it IS weird to me that anyone would have a dress, shoes, venue, etc and then come crying about not having a ring.

    You were okay doing all those things without the ring.

    YOU made that decision.

    YOU.

    Grow up and learn to live with the consequences of your choices.

    No one here is going to feel sorry for you, especially if you're going to refuse to see that you might have made a bad choice in proceeding without the ring/being engaged if those things are important to you.

    That is something TK puts on there to get BSC pre-planning girls to buy their crap.  We don't endorse it and can't change it.

    You would have known all of this had you read the sticky at the top of the page that says READ BEFORE POSTING!

    You and your BF can be on the same page, but you should not plan a wedding before you are engaged.  You yourself said you will not consider yourself to be engaged until you have a ring.  That's fine, but you shouldn't plan until you have the ring, then.

    You're putting the cart before the horse and living in the future when you should be enjoying your relationship with your BF and letting things happen in their own time.  What's the point of him proposing to you if you've already planned the whole damn wedding??

    She isn't saying you aren't planning it together. She is saying that YOU AREN'T ENGAGED! The planning comes after the engagement! That's all.
    Let me break it down for you-
    Proposal
    Engagement time - this includes planning
    Wedding

    Those are the steps
    Chill out and quit acting like a bratty child.

    You seem to think at this point we give a rats patootie about your e-ring. We don't mind when other ladies post AW pics of their e-ring and we are genuinely excited for them. You, however have shown ZERO respect for us, and our board. Therefore, our level of give a damn = null.

    The last time I saw this type of behavior, it was in a chat room - my younger sibling was talking in one and the people in it acted like you - like a child.

    You're clearly NOT planning the proposal together.

    The title of the post is "The waiting is killing me." Your OP also mentions going CRAZY.

    Sounds pretty damn whiny to me.

    Look, you're certainly allowed to be anxious about a proposal.

    But most people have the sense NOT to book venues, buy dresses and shoes, etc. until they have that proposal. Just like most people have the sense to lurk a board and read the stickies before posting.

    SECRET planning? Is lamesauce.

    Part of the joy of being engaged is sharing the excitment and planning and happiness with the people you love.

    You have denied yourself that.

    You made a bad choice.

    I'm glad you're laughing and enjoy this thread. I hope it makes your wait better.
