LisiEeyore Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 [color=red][/color][font=arial][/font] So my boyfriend and I spent this morning talking about the possibility of getting engaged... It will be a long engagement because we both have a lot of things that we need to do in our lives but we want to committment to be known. I told him that I don't want to know when, etc... I also let him know that my friends have made bets on when he will do it (senior formal, one year anniversary, graduation party, before I move out of state, etc...). He said that one of them could be right but none could be right. We were talking more about it though and I told him that my best friend, who would be my maid of honor, has to be the first of my friends to know. He then asked if he needs to call her because it wouldn't happen that she would be the first to know. (So this cuts out my graduation party because she'll be there.) So now it's driving me nuts!! I'm almost thinking my senior formal because that's where all of my friends would be. We haven't been dating all that long (10 months) but we knew each other almost a year before we began dating so we know a lot about each other. Again we would have at least a 3 year engagement period because I like to be planned and he needs to finish his Bachelor's Degree first and have a good job. By that point I will be established (I am moving for a job in August) and be near to having my master's degree. He could be this far already but a lot of things got messed up for him early on in life and he's been on his own since 18. He just started back to school for his associates. So does anyone have any advice with the slight jitters I'm having because of my anxiousness??
UCFKevin Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Whoa whoa whoa, wait, how old are you? If I'm right, you're a senior in high school. DO NOT DO IT. Even with the three year engagement. You will lose out on living the single life during your college years and you WILL regret it. Well, that's not a definite thing but you will PROBABLY regret it and it may lead to some big time problems later down the line.
NatalieCN Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 I agree with the previous post - you're WAAAAYYYYY too young to even be thinking about getting married! Don't let the fantasy of being a bride make you delusional. Once your married you're stuck with the guy - I agree with Dr. Phil - he said no one should think about getting married until they are 30! Enjoy being young and free - don't rush marriage or kids - once the honeymoon period wears off it's a whole different world.
Author LisiEeyore Posted March 20, 2004 Author Posted March 20, 2004 Definitely not a senior in high school, some days I may wish, but I'm senior in college! I would never get married right out of high school or even college for that matter. My boyfriend and I BOTH have too much things that we need to accomplish before getting married. We've talked more about since my post, the engagement may be coming soon but the wedding would NOT be until 2007/2008 when he'd be settled in VA and I would be already be established. (He would be 26/27 and I would be 25/26.) So we're definitely not rushing anything. Things are going to be a long time down the road, I'm just hitting excitement about being engaged at 22 y/o. I don't know if I should be flattered by your thoughts on or being 18 and rushing my life into being a wife and a mom or somewhat curious as to why you think I'm so young.
