engagements (light-hearted)

[221bbakerstreet]

IABU to be in the huff with my partner for not proposing this Christmas, even though we are happy, are saving for a house and have said we will get married at some point.

(This may have been sparked by my friend announcing her engagement today and me, although being happy for her, also being a tiny bit jealous!)

If you've already planned to get married, aren't you pretty much engaged anyway?

Why don't you propose to him? :)

Proposing at Christmas is a silly time to do it.

It's Christmas, you already have an excuse to drink champagne.

A rainy day in Jan or Feb, that's the time to do it.

I agree with trills. A non event day makes a proposal announcement much more exciting

If I could've had a quid for everyone who wink wink nudge nudged me about getting engaged the 2nd Xmas OH and I spent together - did my head in!!

He did propose eventually but not at Christmas. Was really annoying when I went back to work and everyone expectant when I was well aware he had no intention of proposing!!

3 friends got engaged yesterday

2 on their birthday this year

agree with trills that want it to happen as a surprise so not on bday/xmas

I'll be excessively cynical and say it is far better to have your landmark marital dates well away from Christmas and your birthday (his is fair game, though), just in case it all goes horribly wrong later.
