  Um, ya.. planning a wedding behind your FIs back is a low-ball move. You need to stop - like yesterday.

  I know it's hard to wait when you know it's coming. I had to wait 2+ months and it was the worst 2 months ever. Trust us when we say that it's better for EVERYONE involved for you to lay off the planning for now.

  He is calls you his fiancee" hmm. You don't have to have a ring to be engaged. I would talk to him and find out where his head is. I would not bager or pressure. Maybe ask ( as a matter of fact), the next time he calls you his FI, What is the goal year to get married. I would say stop planning because it will only make you anixous.

  I was ready to be married to FI 2 years before we got engaged.  It was ridiculous torture.

  I waited and planned...BUT it was with permission and it was becaues of his job and such .... It was under control ....
  
  I'd jokingly ask him about something and see what he says .... I jokinly dropped hints to see if he'd let me know where he was at with the process... but that's just me...
  
  If he dosnt know you are planning...then dont do it ....

  wow. downers. girls have been planning their weddings ahead of time for decades; it's not a sign of insanity. Some people like to plan, and the process of planning is the part they like. Congrats to you on finding someone you want to be with so completely, but don't change your habits to match society's idea of normal. He loves you for who you are, all the nutty girly stuff included, or he wouldn't be with you and he wouldn't be taking so many huge steps in life with you. Just make sure he gets an even say on stuff when the time comes, or even make options for him so he can input instead of being overwhelmed.

  just read the "read this first" thing. didn't quite follow that I guess. Must admit it's rather odd. why are so many wives and already engaged people posting on this board? I thought from the description:

  
  

   "You've planned your flowers, found a gown...but no ring (yet)? Welcome to NEY." 

  
  

  that this was meant for the "BSC" as a safe place for them to be so without annoying the real engaged folk. Been lurking around the other boards for awhile, but I was surprised to find this one so full of mean-spirited comments, it's hard not to say something. Is there somewhere BSC girls can post without being ripped a new one by the community in general?

  I'm sort of in the same situation. I have a half carat promise ring, that my boyfriend proposed to me with, but we went back and I fell in love with a $3,250 ring from Verragio. He put it on lay-a-way, and has been paying on it for about a year now. Our parents know we're engaged, and want to get married, and we're currently planning our wedding. I also go and visit mine from time to time as well. There's nothing wrong with how you feel, ect. After all, it will be on your finger for the rest of your life!

  It cracks me up how my simple vent about a ring has turned into a life of it's own. I NEVER said I was planning a wedding behind his back. I just said I was visiting the ring. He knows I have tried on dresses we have discussed venues and budgets. I'm just as I originally said "Waiting on the Ring." This will be my second wedding. I was married the first time for 18 years so this wedding thing is not new to me. A word of advice for you newly engaged/ married folks, don't shoot down someone's posts before you read the post correctly.
