One of my friends has been engaged for 2 years and they have no plans to get married in the near future. I totally understand if they're both young or in college or med school or law school and they are waiting to finish that and settle in- that's fine. Or if you have to postpone due to having kids or something like that. In my eyes those people want to be married and are committed to each other but are being maturing waiting until the time is right.
Now I'm talking about my friend......they are both 29 years old, not in school, full time jobs, no major life changes coming in the next year. Yet whenever we talk about marriage and weddings she says "we're just not ready for that, we need more time". All I can think in my mind is like ooooooooook then why are you engaged?? Why did you agree if you really don't agree? You know what I mean? Maybe it's just me but I feel like don't ask until you're serious and ready to do it or don't accept until you're serious and ready to do it.
