I didn't care if we got married; I thought things were great. I do love being married now though! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64456 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:05:11 +0000 mediagirl 64456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. A friend of mine did this. The deadline was Dec 31. No ring, they're still together. I try to stay out of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64451 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:00:34 +0000 Andrea 64451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, many friends of mine. It was very sad to talk to them about it. Luckily they are now engaged or married so we can talk about other things now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64397 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:02:59 +0000 heffalump 64397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: that's a good idea! I was lucky enough not to have to go through that, but I know many people who have and would probably benefit from having a place to talk about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64395 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:00:11 +0000 heffalump 64395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I agree, I wish she would leave him, she deserves better. Easier said then done though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64390 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:58:20 +0000 tequiero21 64390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>o man. that sucks. i actually don't think i know anyone who wanted to be engaged by a certain date. i think if i waited 2 years though, i'd just say goodbye (if i were friend #2)...AFTER i got the diamond back. i think it's WEIRD that her MOM gave him a diamond. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64382 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:51:16 +0000 chopsuey 64382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG! I know someone (who's single) who for the past 5 years has set dates for her wedding.<br /> Back in 2009 she was SURE she would get married on 1/1/11. Didn't happen. Then she was going to get married on 11/11/11. Didn't happen. Kills me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64379 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:50:22 +0000 mrbee 64379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once wrote a blog post just for ladies in waiting!! I may start a website for waiting ladies someday... that stuff can mess with your head! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64378 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:49:52 +0000 cyneswith 64378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were married 6 months before my proposal deadline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-or-do-you-know-someone-who-set-a-date-that-they-wanted-to-be-engaged-by#post-64370 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:45:22 +0000 heffalump 64370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your so /your friends so actually propose by that date? And if not did you/they break up?</p> <p>I have two friends that did this. Friend #1 told her boyfriend she wanted to be engaged by last October. She got engaged last week. Friend #2 wanted to be engaged by January 2 years ago. Her mom gave him a diamond, so it's not like he's saving for a ring. She is still with him and waiting for a proposal. </p> <p>I guess I want to know what others did in this situation. For friend #1 waiting worked out. I feel so bad for friend #2, I want her to be happy and I know she so badly wants to be married. She already has the wedding planned, and it's awesome! </p>
