So I posted a whiny "talk me off the ledge.." post not long ago. I got a timeline out of BF! I am guessing he will propose to me AT deployment homecoming early next year. He didn't say that, but he has mentioned he would like to do that in the past to kind of blow me out of the water, as he's not the romantic type (and believes I think he doesn't know how to be, which may be true lol).
Anyway, he brought up the discussion of what we wanted our wedding to be like. I, of course, obliged. Woman-boner full on! He said he wanted a small ceremony with our parents (who we would obviously feed) and then down the road a big party in lieu of the whole big ceremony/big reception shindig. This party would be us renting a venue, having drinks, food, music, all hosted by us. No wedding dress, no registry, no ceremony "do-over", just a big party with friends.
I KNOW there has been a topic somewhere like this, but I've failed at the search feature as always. I can't for the life of me decide if this would be deemed an etiquette faux pas or not! Come to my rescue, Ladies of The Knot!
Edited because I can't grammar tonight!
