    I don't really consider people engaged until they have set a date because too many people (particularly males) use phony engagements as a way to keep their girl on the line without actually doing anything.

    Do you have a ring?
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    You should say to him, "We're getting married in June. We'll have been engaged for a year by then, and that's plenty of time. June is a lovely month and traditionally one for weddings. You get a tux and the rings, I'll make the other arrangements (yes, you will have to do almost everything), and tell you what day to be there. Don't be late, or I'll hunt you down like tha dog you are and kick you 'till you're dead."

    Welcome to the world of marital bliss.

    If you want him to marry you, then, I suggest you tell him you are giving him until ________ to get it together.

    EDIT: Giga's plan is good, too. Less wiggle room.

    Just go and get a license. I think you can even write your own vows if you want to, and hopefully, you'll get a nice judge.

    Getting married isn't about the wedding. It is about joining two people (and their families) into a single family. I agree with Giga - get married in the way you can afford to do it, and don't stress about it any more. Nothing is stupider than beginning married life in debt, anyway.

    People who get married in the courthouse usually dress up a bit - not in a wedding gown necessarily, but in a nice white dress and suit.

    Ignore Zarathu. Everyone else does.

    A nice little ceremony with family and friends is what a wedding is supposed to be. This thing with 300 guests and going twenty grand into debt is something created by our ridiculous materialistic modern American society.
