Why I wear my claddagh on my left hand...

I'm hoping

per_solo  doesn't mind me posting this, but I've gotten alot of questions about it, so I figured I'd just do a general post.

The short story is, basically, that I keep proposing to Chris and he keeps saying yes. ;)  No, it's not a joke, I really mean it, and so does he.  However, since he's in school right now and that already causes a lot of stress for both of us and finances are tight all around, we don't want to get caught up in anything else that is going to lay more stress on us or our relationship, like, for instance, wedding planning.  Or people asking us when we're going to set a date. 

So yes, we want to get married.  No, we're not setting a date yet.  I guess you can call it an "informal engagement".  What can I say?  We're unconventional. ;)

I do have my standards tho.  I told him we're not officially engaged until HE asks ME. ;)  A silly fancy expensive ring is optional (I'm sorry, I'd rather have a down-payment on a house than a shiny ring.  That's just how I roll.)

 

So there.  Does that help the confusion or make it worse? ;)

Love,
Crystal

You know that is a smart plan. At least you plan to get married... when the time is right, which is more important...

That's pretty much what I think. :)

Hey, my husband and I were together four years before we were engaged and then engaged for two and a half years. There's no rush...why should there be? You love each other. That's all that matters.

I just figure it gives us a really long time to plan a kickass wedding. ;)

Exactly! That's what I did! My wedding rocked! Just ask Aaron and Elana. Elana always says that mine was the best wedding she's ever been to even after doing all that DJing!

Ditto.

Wonderful! You seem like the right kind of person for Chris, so I was kinda hoping you two might think like that :) :). I agree that now is not the time to plan a wedding, much less try to build a household together with common property and joint finances and shit. It'll all come. Best of luck!
