Hunter's Moon Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm engaged! My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years, and he proposed on Saturday. His mother and my mom are psyched and were wondering when he'd propose lol. My parents love him and his mother loves me and I'm grateful for the support from them. We're waiting until we both graduate college (2014) and are starting to save money now for the wedding and afterwards. I know how strongly some people feel about young marriage, but I couldn't wait any longer to tell :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

********* Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Stephanie, congratulations! Sounds like you two have a good plan. From what you shared, it sounds like he's going to graduate college? That's fantastic. You have a good plan; save up as much as you can in the next two years, get your schooling done (college for him or you AND him, whatever is the plan), and get on with the happiness. Anyone who has anything negative to say about your age? Well, ignore them. You guys sound like you're starting out right. Blessings to you, dear.

Mimm Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Beautiful ring. I got married young. You will have tons of negative comments from people. It was truly eye opening when I was engaged how people that I just met would comment negatively on my life only seconds after meeting me. But oh well. I won't pretend everything has always been easy but that's true of any marriage. :) Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Congrats! Take it as a life lesson...there will ALWAYS be someone that has the overwhelming need to spout negative drivel on someone else's life decisions. Doesn't matter what it is. Being married young. Getting married older. Being a young parent. Being an older parent. Not being a parent. Being a parent of an only. Being a parent of more than 1. Being the parent of many. Kids close in age. Kids far in age. Working outside the home. Staying home. Employed from home. Public schooling. Home schooling. Vaccinating. Not vaccinating. Eating (vegetarian, vegan, dietary restrictions, organic, on and on) Where to live. What to drive. Driving. What to wear. Honestly, the list goes on...it seems that no matter what decisions a person makes, there's always going to be SOMEONE that has to say something negative. Be confident in the decisions you make for yourself, and let everyone else suck it up. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Oh, Congratulations!! You two look so happy together! I'm married to my high school sweetheart, and so I have a special fondness for young love. It says a lot that both sets of parents are excited about it as well. Wishing you both all the very best!

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Congratulations! What a beautiful ring! I became engaged on my 18th birthday and we were married 5 months later. We've been "together" for 10 years (starting from when he first "asked me out") and married 7 years. It can work and I hope all happiness for you both. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Congratulations! Lovely ring and couple. I agree with pp it sounds like to me you guys are getting started on the right foot. Fwiw dh and I married while I was still in college, our 13th anniversary is this year. I was just turned 20 when we married and we were both madly in love, and we love each still more today.

Hunter's Moon Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thank you everyone for the blessings and well wishes! :grouphug: There really isn't much of a story. We are both low-key people, so it was very low-key. We'd been talking about getting engaged for awhile now. On Saturday, we were at the mall and he brought me into a jewelry store and told me to pick out my engagement ring. :lol: He had already told his mom before he left that he was "proposing" to me, though, so she couldn't wait for us to get back to their house and then my mom came over. Yeah, we're very boring :D I appreciate hearing the stories. I do agree that anything anyone does isn't good enough for everyone so I'm not too bothered by how others view young marriage, I just know it had been discussed at length on these boards. When we graduate, he'll have a 4-year degree and I'll have a 2-year degree in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
