Re: What is engagement to you?
I felt the exact same way. My SO and I have been together for 7 years and got engaged this past August. The engagement/marriage is just a formality to cement what we already have. Engagement is a stepping stone for the rest of the journey. I find I am more excited to own a home with my SO than to ac... |

Re: INTRODUCING MYSELF :-)
Hello and welcome!  I'm pretty sure you just copy and pasted my story, haha. My fiance and I just celebrated 7 years on Sunday and we recently got engaged in August. I had also said I wanted to wait until I was finished with grad school and not in any rush. Enjoy the forum! |

Re: Bridal Bootcamp anyone?

And between my friends wedding and preliminary planning for my own next year I need a wedding break already! haha. O... |

Re: Changing your last name
I have no idea what I am going to do. I have always been hell bent on keeping my last name especially because I do not plan on having children and it wouldn't make me any less married. One day before we got engaged I talked to my SO about this and he expressed that he would be hurt if I did not. So ... |

Re: Old dog advice?
Upgradable, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. My family dog, a beagle, lived to the age of 17 and towards the end had very similar issues. We made the decision that her quality of life was so poor that it wasn't fair to keep her suffering any longer. What does the vet have to say? Is there an... |

Re: Help Me MOVE To a New Town
I'm going to agree with everyone on the Philly suburb area! I grew up in South Philadelphia and spent some time on the "Main Line" of Havertown and I do enjoy it. You get a decent yard, safe neighborhoods (helps that I am friends with many police officers haha), and you are close to everyt... |

Re: Bridal Bootcamp anyone?
Katey , so I joined WW and learned all about the new plan. I'm a bit skeptical, and I still don't have a full understanding of what our body needs, what is healthy, and when we get to be at-risk for health concerns, but I do like the new approach to looking at different components of food and getti... |

Re: How much student loan debt do you/did you have?
I'm hovering around $100K between undergrad and graduate school. Finished undergrad in 2008 and finished graduate school this past August 2011. Wish I could pay them off quicker than I'm able to do right now. Some days I get frustrated that my parents couldn't help me out but I think I value my educ... |

Congrats Katey!! :appl: :appl: I just loved your proposal story and the ring! It's absolutely beautiful! What does the profile look like? Is it the legato or just similar?

Re: Bridal Bootcamp anyone?
Checking in after vacation! I can't believe I'm done grad school. I feel like I need a hobby to occupy my time now. I got all my grades and it looks like I graduated with a 4.0 GPA! Very proud of myself for that considering I worked full time as well. I haven't weighed myself yet since coming home f... |

Re: *Ring Preferences 2011 Edition*
1) Do you know what kind of engagement ring you want? Diamond (or other stone), size, shape, metal type, side stones vs. solitaire, etc.? --I am in love with the Legato sleek line solitaire from WF. I don't have a preference as to white gold or platinum--just no yellow gold! As for stone shape, I'm ... |

I've been doing WW Online as well and I like that option better than going to the meetings.

Re: Bridal Bootcamp anyone?
Yes! I'm here! Been quiet lately--grad school finishes in 27 days so I've been swamped with finishing everything up. I have my comprehensive exams starting tomorrow and then submitting my thesis after that. Needless to say I'm a little overwhelmed! I'm staying steady. Weighed in at 117 this morning.... |

Re: Women bringing up grandchildren with their adult childre
My parents never bring it up. My boyfriends mother brings it up occasionally and we aren't even engaged. My friends that are slightly older bring it up all the time.

Re: Is anyone else portray themselves differently IRL?
Yup! Me! :wavey: I'm the exact same way. Only one of my friends knows that I'm getting a little anxious now.

Re: Ever feel like shopping together ruins the surprise?
