Do you know anyone "IRL" who got engaged?
Four couples I know got engaged over Christmas! My cousin (which I'm SO incredibly excited about), my former roommates brother (which I knew was coming, so that was cool), a girl I used to go to college with who's a few years older than me, and a college friend of mine.
I guess this is the age when everyone around me will start getting engaged, especially around the holidays, but I've never had so many people I know get engaged all at once, it was pretty surreal!
I got to try on my cousin's ring which was fun, and my mom brought down a big box of her jewelry on Christmas that we played with for a while
Love the ring porn.

And we (as in my entire family) found out when she changed her relationship status on Facebook. WOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Do you think they'll actually get married or will this guy ditch like the last 3 times?

YAAAAAY!!!
It's baby fever around here for sure. There will be 5 new babies around here in my close family by July.
I'd love people in my life to have more baby fever! I have a cousin who I don't really like but she has 2 little girls (1 1/2 and 3 years) and they're SO darn cute.
As for babies, FI's BFF just found out he's going to be a dad and my cousin just found out she is too.
As for baby fever, my dad kept telling everyone at Christmas that I was pregnant, because he said that 'if everyone thinks I'm pregnant, then I'll have to get pregnant soon so I don't let them down'. He was doing it jokingly, but at the same time, not really...he really wants another grandchild, even though my nephew is only 9 months old.
[QUOTE]Well we got engaged in October, a friend I had growing up got engaged in November, and my grandma's husband's granddaughter (who I also grew up with) just got engaged Christmas eve. Oh and we just met a couple online who we'll be meeting soon and they just got engaged too. My mom's cousin just asked his wife to marry him (again) so they're renewing their vows after 10 years too if that counts, lol. As for babies, FI's BFF just found out he's going to be a dad and my cousin just found out she is too.

OOoooh.....Who did you meet online? COOL!
[QUOTE]A friend of mine from HS that got married in May posted that this was their first Christmas together. I asked, "oh, your first married Christmas?" And she said "no, their first Christmas ever... Apparently they met at New Years, got engaged on Valentine's Day and were married in May, so from meeting to marriage was less than 5 months. Sounds kind of crazy, but they seem happy so far.

I know a girl who did something like that... she was actually engaged to guy #1 first, and January of that year I went with her to a bridal show to help plan her wedding. By the next January she had not only broken off that engagement, but was married to guy #2. Mayor of crazytown for sure.

I can't see anything on my facebook page. ARG. With the new updates...I only see posts from a handful of people. I've tried to go back and put that I want to see "all posts" from people- but it doesn't seem to be working.
St00pid facebook.
Over the weekend there were AT LEAST 4 engagements of people I know pretty well. Then there's a few "how did I meet this person again" folks that got engaged.
Also, after every engagement announcement on facebook, regardless of how well I know the couple, I usually end up facebook stalking.

This!! It always annoys me when people aren't PW's about their lives because then there's nothing to stalk! haha
Maybe it's because I'm a little older, but most everyone I know is already married (or has kids and doesn't want to get married). When I was 27 or 28, everyone started getting engaged.
I haz a planning bio
