To give you some background - Basically my dp is a very sensible type (good for a long haul marriage i think!) we've been together over 5 years and have 2 children, i already have his surname and we are happy and in love.
Marriage has been something i've always wanted with him and hoped one day we will get round to it but so far keeping our heads above water and children have been and still are the priority.
The other day he said that if i really wanted to get married and i found out how much everything would be and where we would egt the money from etc of course he would turn up and marry me and he is sure i would be a gorgeous bride. So I've been looking into it all and basically I'm going to work on paying debts off and saving the money, I don't want an expensive do, it would be about £2,000 because we both have plenty of family.
So should i call his bluff and book it for 3 years time?
He is never going to be the type to get down on one knee, like normal people do and then worry about it or have a long engagement etc If i want to be married i really do think it's down to me to organise it.
Am i mental? Should I wait and see if he ever does propose properly? (in my heart knowing he won't do it though i know he would be happy to be married to me?)
