Getting the gitters

in Not Engaged Yet
Hello Everyone! Recently I've had wedding fever. My roommate is newly engaged and is now currently planning her wedding. IT'S KILLING ME! I'm dying to look at venues and try on dresses and pick out flowers. Obviously I've already started dreaming up my perfect day but I'm itching to actually set things in motion. My boyfriend and I have been  together for almost a year. Originally he was planning on proposing around Halloween last year and then changed it to the beginning of this year. So here I am, patiently waiting. I told him I needed at least a year to figure all the details out if he expects me to put together a wedding without a planner. I set our time frame to end of May beginning of June so fingers crossed it happens soon. Like they say "once you find the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Here's to hoping.

    And holy cow OP, you're looking like a crazy person with your avatar. Seriously, an inspiration bouquet? Back away from The Knot. And brides.com. And Wedding Bee. And Wedding Wire. And Pinterest. 

    Just, the internet. Leave it alone for like, 3 months.

    All of this.  Just enjoy being his girlfriend right now and where you are currently in life.  Once you are engaged plan away.

    I had to do this before. And it's tough! Especially with TLC's Brideday Friday. BUT, it's for your own good. Chillax.

    I agree with everything everyone else has said.  Calm down OP.

    Also, re: you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.  Your life together already has started.  The time that you and your BF are dating and moving towards getting engaged and getting married and whatever counts as building a life together.  Please don't discount the time you have together right now because you aren't married/engaged.

    I agree with PPs. Also, when you say that you set your timeline, do you mean that YOU set it or that you and BF set it together? Just making sure you're not putting an unwanted deadline on him to propose.

    If you think the rest of your life is "on hold" right now, you are slightly delusional.  Look, there goes your life!  Live it.

    Plusalso, most of wedding planning is kinda unglamorous, like meeting with DJs and 5 billion venue people (I swear we picked our venue based on how we clicked with the venue coordinator in addition to "how beautiful" it is.)

    Nothing to rush into.  Start saving some money for your dress or something, cause it's pricey :)

    <div>No lie, when I'm done working on Fridays I turn on TLC and say "Friday Brideday! Friday Brideday!" Yes, BF is in the room. Yes, he thinks I'm a crazy person. Since that is the full extent of the craziness he needs to put up with from me, I'd still say he's a lucky man.</div></div><div>
    </div><div>OP - be happy for your friend, and enjoy every second of helping her plan her wedding (if she asks for your help.) Your life isn't on hold while you wait to get engaged - BELIEVE ME. </div>

    No joke, I read the thread title like 5 times and still didn't know what 'gitters' were.

    OP, FFS, chill out. Take a deep breath and enjoy your BF.

    How did you set a time frame for a wedding if he hasn't proposed yet?
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

I'm dying to look at venues and try on dresses and pick out flowers. Obviously I've already started dreaming up my perfect day but I'm itching to actually set things in motion.

    </div><div>Here's the thing, YOU ARE SPENDING YOUR LIFE WITH HIM!!! There isn't some magical 'life counts now' stop watch that gets started when you BF becomes your FI.This is your life, this is your life with him, now, right this second. Its all real and it all counts and being engaged doesn't make it 'more real' getting married doesn't mean it 'counts' more. </div><div>
    </div><div>I get being antsy, I really do. I used to get antsy too, b/c I thought I had to wait until engagement or marriage for 'life' to start....</div><div>
    </div><div>FI and I have been together 10 years, and just got engaged last June. Every day of the 9 years we were together was us spending the rest of our lives together, because "The Rest of Your Life" is made up of normal days. Days where laundry needed to be done, dinner had to be made, classes attended, and normal boring stuff. Next year we will interrupt the normal stuff with a wedding- a ceremony celebrating how much of our lives we have already spent together, and vows (in public as opposed to the private unspoken ones we have now) to keep spending the rest of our lives together. Then its back to our Ellie and Carl lives- the best adventure I can think of. </div><div>
