i got engaged

If anyone cares. I got engaged on valentines day. I posted a long whiney thread a few months ago. I feel better now but want to elope. Planning a wedding is insane.

Best wishes to you, that's wonderful!

CONGRATULATIONS

ps your engagement ring is very pretty

Thanks!!!That is nice of you

Congrats!

Lovely ring and lovely couple

Congrats!! I think eloping is great. My hubby and I had a very small wedding last summer and sometimes I really wish we had just eloped. Even planning a small wedding had its issues! Good luck with whatever you decide to do and enjoy being engaged!!!!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS!! Thats awesome!! Lovely ring as well...and you guys make a cute couple.

Congratulations!! Best wishes for you both

Congrats!!!!!!!! That is a very pretty ring. Not too big, not too small. And square cuts are my favorite.

PS: The guy's not too bad either.

Congrats! The ring is beautiful! Last year DH & I planned a trip to Jamaica, just the two of us and got married on April 1st. The parents weren't too happy at the time but they are getting used to the idea. We had a reception the following week (don't remember any of it).

I eloped and it was worth it! I encourage all women who are in the middle of planning a wedding to take a step back, take a deep breath, and dash to a court house!

Congrats!!

Congrats to the both of you! Yes, planning a wedding is very hard. I had a VERY large wedding. At first while planning it, I wanted everything to be perfect and just a certain way, but by the end of it I didn't care what happened any more! I just wanted to get married and that's it! So, pretty much everyone around us planned the wedding. I was about to go crazy though! Everyone wanted it their way. There were so many things to think about. But in the end, everything came together and it all went so nicely!!! We were only engaged 6 months and that was long enough for me! We are now approaching our one year anniversary and I look back on a lot of stuff that we stressed about back then and just have to smile because it was so silly! On my wedding day as long as I was there and he was there, that is all that mattered to me! All the hard planning that took place didn't even matter to me any more!!!

Congrats to you again, many good thoughts being sent your way! Remember not to stress and just enjoy the moment! Hope everything goes well for you!

Congrats!!! Enjoy being engaged...after the wedding your are just "the wife"! (lol...just kidding!). I've been married 1 1/2 yrs, and yes, planning a wedding is SOOOO stressful! My husband BEGGED me to go to Las Vegas with him and elope but I wanted the celebration with friends and family.

A wedding is only as stressful as you make it. There is nothing wrong with a civil ceremony and a picnic or luncheon after. I was maid of honor at my best friend's wedding and they exchanged rings 30 ft under water (scuba divers are crazy). Basically it is you and your future husband's day. You do what you want. Don't plan a wedding to please anyone but yourselves.

Thats my plan. No Hoopla. No cake and if i can get around it ,no big fancy-ola rings. Just love.

Congrats! Youre ring is gorgeous!

I myself have only been engaged for 3 months and I can tell you that it is only as stressful as you make it. Remember it is about what you want and not what everyone else wants. My mom seems to think this is her thing to plan already

Congradulations on you engagement!!!!
