    No. Keep it between you and your boyfriend. If he hasn’t technically proposed, then you are not technically engaged. Thumbs me down, what do I care, but if he’s so strapped for cash, then why are you preparation the wedding next year? If you’re this impatient now, I can’t wait to see how that virtue will affect the rest of your marriage…

  2. really? i look interested now? says:

    NO!! Until he officially proposes, it is not a excellent thought to tell any of your friends. You could tell them that you two plot on getting engaged or that you two have been talking about getting engaged. Actions and weddings are always exciting so the first thing we want to do is tell all our accurate friends and sometimes we just want to tell the world. The problem with your situation is that he has not officially proposed to you yet and although you could tell your accurate friends about it, the news will be ancient to their ears when he officially proposes. Until there is a verbal proposal with a ring on your finger - I would suggest you wait. Btw, congratulations! =)

    Um. I reckon you should wait until you get the ring. But for the time being just say you’re thinking about getting married.

    you are preparation a wedding so why not? my friends did this, and he saved the proposal and the ring and questioned her officially on her birthday last year. everyone already knew about it, but it was still a suprise because none of us had seen the ring. if you are concerned, maybe just tell those closest to you instead of telling everyone.

  6. MrsCrazyPete says:

    If you are getting married and are preparation your wedding, you are engaged. A ring is just a character of that, there’s no rule that says you must have one to plot your wedding. If people question about the ring, just tell them that you guys are saving up money to have a wedding, and you’ll get a ring later.

    I see no reason why you can’t share your excitement :)

    I know I would never be able to keep it a secret! And it’s always more fun to bounce your thoughts off of friends and family as you’re preparation.

    Just beware that if you only want your accurate friends to know, it might slip out eventually to the rest of your friends and family.

    Best of luck to you!!

    I wouldn’t go there.

    Be patient and wait for the time and date to be set.

    Um…No? You are not engaged! LOL. Be patient. You will look like an idiot if you start in succession your mouth before hes even questioned.

  10. ceinglehart says:

    I’d say no because he hasn’t proposed. If he proposes (even without a ring) properly, then I reckon it’ll be okay to start preparation. If it’s taking him that long to save for a ring even if, it’s going to take a long time to save for a wedding too.

    That sounds like what me and my husband did. We picked our date out and I had my dress and a lot of the stuff before he officially popped the question. Everyone knew, just cuz you don’t have a ring doesn’t mean you can’t tell people. If you know for sure, why not. And while you are waiting, go ahead and find your venue, chose on flowers, invitations, and menus. These are vital and your venue could get booked quickly. Also, have fun looking for a dress. That was one of my favorite parts.

  12. Learly bear says:

    yeah you can tell them you’re preparation to have your wedding soon or whenever it is…you dont need a ring to be engaged…sounds like you already are if he and you both chose to get married…thats what engaged means-it doesn’t mean he gave you a ring…thats just a small part of it that not all people even do

  13. Oye says:

    I reckon she should let it be a surprise.

  14. Wifeforlife says:

    If you are both preparation a wedding, then you are engaged. Period. A ring is just a character and many people don’t wear date rings, they just have a gold band at the wedding or a fancy ring with stones that is a combined date/wedding band. Tell the world you’ve set the date and if some rude person questions "where’s the ring?" tell them that you’re just going to have a wedding band ‘cuz you’re a no-frills girl. Place the ring out of your head yourself, then, when he does buy it, you can truly be surprised and call all your friends with "OHMIGAWD HE BOUGHT ME A RING!!!" Please don’t equate a diamond ring with "officially proposed". If a man likes you and he discussion about marriage and he’s helping you plot a wedding , he HAS proposed.

  15. The Divine Bubba Blue says:

    Did he already say "will you marry me"? Because if he did, you are engaged. No exception. There is no such thing as official and unofficial actions. You were engaged the small you chose to be married.

    Having a ring does not make an date official any more than a wedding ring makes a marriage official. It is a chunk of metal and carbon.

  16. TotalRecipeHound says:

    You are engaged when he questions you to marry him, not when he gives you a ring. If he hasn’t questioned, then you still aren’t engaged, so telling people you are getting married is putting the cart before the horse. For all you know, he may not question you once he has the money for the ring.

    My husband proposed 6 months before the wedding and I only got the ring a month before the wedding. My sister didn’t get her date ring until 2 years after she married her second husband (she didn’t want one originally and then he chose to get her one before his adult daughter got married).

  17. Kira J says:

    it’s really up to you but wouldn’t it be nice to tell people and show the ring off at the same time? i’d do that as it’s much nicer

  18. Mrs P says:

    That is a small weird to be preparation a wedding when he hasn’t even questioned you to marry him yet. He doesn’t need a ring to propose to you and could even get you a cheap gold band for now. If he hasn’t taken the time to propose I would NOT plot a wedding nore tell anyone you are getting married when you are not even engaged!

  19. Pookie says:

    Isn’t it terrible Karma to plot a wedding and pretend your engaged and really officially not be?

    Seems weird to me, and clearly the ring isn’t the deal breaker for you, so why doenst he propose to you and promise to get you a ring at a later date??

    I reckon your friends are gunan reckon your crazy for already preparation a wedding when you aren’t even engaged..at least id reckon your loco!

  20. Adrianne says:

    "Officially engaged" means you have chose to get married. It has nothing to do with a piece of jewelry. If you have discussed it and are already making the plans together, then you are engaged… which means it’s fine to share your wonderful news!

  21. TAlex88 says:

    I wouldn’t quite yet. A touch may happen where you aren’t getting married and then you’ll be embarrassed.

    This happen to me. I didn’t have the ring but I started wedding preparation, and we broke up(and I told people I was engaged) so even months next people were like "So, when is the wedding?" or "How’s the preparation coming?"

    I just don’t want anyone to have to go owing to that, if they don’t have to.

  22. MariChelita says:

    What is he waiting for to propose??

    I would be mroe concerned about telling people and then having my parents find out owing to others instead of just getting engaged and telling my parents aptly away… then I could get along with the rest of the preparation without feeling like I’m sneeking around.

  23. marci_607 says:

    This is perfectly fine! My bf and I also were in sort of the same situation… I was preparation and such before we were officially engaged because he hadn’t bought the ring. One thing we didn’t do even if was tell our friends and that was because we wanted it to be special when we DID get engaged. Otherwise, everyone would have just thought, "Okay, yay, weren’t you already preparation anyway?" We wanted to surprise everyone with our date! It makes it more fun for you, too. So I would say to you take up again to plot with your bf but keep it to yourselves. No huge plans need to be made aptly now anyway if the wedding is a whole year away. You could talk about themes, colors, flowers, etc…and even look into finding things. Then when you get engaged you have a head start! I know that it is hard to keep from preparation when you’re excited about getting married because my wedding isn’t for another year, either… we haven’t announced a date but we are engaged and I am preparation stuff too!

    Excellent luck and congratulations!!!!!!!!!
