Not Engaged Yet
I wonder how...
All these chicks on Just Engaged literally just got engaged over Christmas and already have tickers? Don't you need to visit vendors and finalize dates?

I don't like it. I'll be the kettle, they can be the pot.

[QUOTE]No! I picked my date for my pretty princess day and the venue will just have to be available!

That must be it.
[QUOTE]I don't know, but it's bad that I've been here for three months and all the newbies from the weekend are irritating me. I don't like it. I'll be the kettle, they can be the pot.

This I understand.
I don't know why they all have tickers all of the sudden; I mean Lord I can't even pick a date and stick after months of being engaged. They must be freaking amazing at this or I just suck.
Eh.

Meh. They're just silly intarwebz tickers if you ask me. They can be changed if need be. They're excited and jumping the gun a little. It's only natural. They'll calm down.

RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
[QUOTE]Doesn't TK make you pick a date when you sign up? I will say, though, that we picked a date before we picked a venue. We got married on our dating anniversary, and we eliminated venues that didn't have our date available. We wouldn't consider another date.

Yes, TK does make you do this. It just seems really naive to me "OMG HE PROPOSED YESTERDAI I LOVE MY [INSERT CARAT] CUSTOM DESIGNED RING" and then they have a ticker that says "6 months to go!" or whatever. I must be bitter and jealous that I didn't get a Christmas proposal.
Saisongbird, I see that you are from around my neck of the woods. Can I ask where you got married?

I have friends doing this. Which is why they got engaged Oct 2009 and are not getting married until Oct 2011. They wanted to make sure venues would be available.

[QUOTE]GPB. we got married at the Venetian Yacht Club in Babylon, NY. A little pricey, but worth every penny!
Posted by saisongbird[/QUOTE]
Ooh, I've seen that place. It's beautiful!
But I think I won't even tell people that we're engaged for awhile. The family BS just isn't worth it. (I'm not even sure who I'll tell first - if one finds out I told the other first, all hell will break lose. I'm considering a conference call. Too impersonal??)
[QUOTE]Wellll I've been engaged for two years and don't have a new date picked out after we moved it back. I've really gotta step it up, pronto!
Posted by bourgehm[/QUOTE]
My wedding date will not be determined by when I get engaged. It will only be determined by when we're finacially ready and having a good venue picked out. When I signed up for TK just to check some things out just out of curiosity, I picked the latest date possible so I can move it back and forth depending on when it happens.
I think that the NEY girls are much more in their right minds than the JE girls. Some of the JE girls aren't even engaged and picked everything out from venues to dresses to colors etc.
[QUOTE]GPB I'm bitter and jealous that I didn't get a Christmas proposal. There. I said it. But I think I won't even tell people that we're engaged for awhile. The family BS just isn't worth it.

Skype for sure.
And I think it's pretty safe to say that a lot of newly engageds have a general idea of a date they are looking for before they got engaged, but I do think it's jumping the gun a bit to have a ticker in your siggy before you have a 'confirmed' date...which doesn't happen until you book a venue. I guess it's good they came to the knot though, who better to knock them back down to reality than us? LOL.

I'm surprised that board is as active as it is. They should make a speshul board for me - "I Have No Idea When I'm Getting Married Because We're Poor Students" Weddings."
Well, all the n00bs see the awesomeness of me, then they see that I have a ticker....
basically it's my fault. I'm just too awesome. Sorry guys.

Paige can I get an insider tip, what's the next big trend that you're going launch? Perhaps pointy Madonna bra wedding dresses?<img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />

[QUOTE]On a related, but opposite note. I don't like wedding planning. My planning is very minimalist. <strong>FI wants the food to be catered by Qdoba and Panda Express.</strong> I told him to go for it. One less thing I have to decide on. If you're coming to our reception, I hope you like mexican or chinese food!

This sentence may be full of the most WIN ever. Qdoba...
