Congratulations!

 

I'm engaged as well, but the wedding won't be for another couple years or so. Which is a good thing, I think.

THEN WHATS THE FUCKING POINT?

 

it so silly when people need to get engaged and wait a solid 4 years to actually get married. it becomes such a ridiculous status symbol, as if a relationship is somewhat more stable & "serious" if they place these imaginary terms on their partner.

 

"say hello to my FIANCE"

 

"i was at my FIANCE'S house"

 

such bullshit. there should be a one year lifespan of engagements, otherwise you're just attention hungry fucks looking to feel important. that said, i wouldn't think vitamin x's engagement will last long as his girlfriend in 16. why don't you buy her a promise bracelet, son? don't you feel a bit icky that you're stealing her youth from her? if you get married when she's 17 or 18 or even 19 she'll rage against you at 27. teenage years are meant for drunken debauchery. not dating 23 year old cyber dorks who show pictures of their young FIANCE'S cleavage to impress of bunch of sexually repressed wrestling fags. (like myself). ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

Eh, I don't think it's really all that ridiculous to get engaged a couple years in advance. For the record, it's more of an idea to get married than it is any kind of formal proposal and engagement thing.. I still refer to her as my girlfriend, not my FIANCE.

 

And a wedding can fail or succeed at any age, that's not really something I'm worried about. Everyone's different, I guess, but some people are just ready for longer-term commitments now moreso than others, and I guess that includes me. And I'm 21, by the way, not 23. At least get it right.

by those standards there are millions of 13 year old puppy dog lovers who are currently engaged.

 

i just don't get it.

I agree with that. Get engaged like a bitch. I've never dated a girl who I wasn't "engaged" to. But these bitches did call me their fiance. I didn't return the favor.

 

Also, 13 year olds in love are pure. I wish I could feel that way about a girl now. It's like, you'd die for this girl, and your parents move away, or she gets transfered to another school or something, and that's it. You have to deal with it. But there's a purity about the emotion when you first feel it that never comes back.

Way I see it, is if the relationship actually does get to that point, then it'll probably work out over the longhaul.

 

Anyways, this is more about Tyler than it is about me. What's the date set for, Tyler?

Its just impossible for me to imagine myself asking my girlfriend if she would marry me. (I am only 21, she is 20). I have no clue how anyone could be ready for a committed relationship like that, hell, I can barely take care of myself. I do not see myself even considering marriage for another 6-7 years, but I also fear long term relationships, and find a way to break off those relationships if I feel they are becoming too serious.

I'm the opposite. I want a committed, monogomous relationship. I want something that will last. I feel that engaging in a relationship that one feels has no long term future is a waste of time, but I realize that not everyone wants the same things I want.

 

But enough about me. Congratulations, Tyler. I hope your engagement ends up better than my first one did.

I'm one of the people who don't understand teenage engagements. Seemed like I knew far too many people in high school who were "engaged," when what they really were was with a girl they wouldn't be with come the next season.

 

Promise rings and the like make me laugh, too. I see that shit being distributed around me from time-to-time, and I just wanna ask the guy if he realizes that it's not the middle ages and he should be alive for a while, so why would he wanna commit right now? It's a fact that the male brain doesn't mature until the age of 25. Hence, I think major decisions (like who you intend to spend the rest of your life with) should be put off if possible until that time.

 

For the ones I know who actually went through and got married, I can't tell you of any it actually worked out for. It's ridiculous how much someone can change over the course of the later teenage years and early twentys or so. What someone that age longs for today will be exactly what they want nothing to do with a week from now.

 

I've made my feelings on young marriage known elsewhere, but really, unless you've found your soulmate, getting married at such a young age is a disaster. You may get along for a couple of years, but by time you guys hit your late twentys and begin to realize that the other one isn't really the one for you and you've wasted a good chunk of your prime years trying to force something to work, you aren't going to be too happy.

Engagements are just commitments for procrastinators.

I think I'd be ready to get married if I found a girl I really loved now (I'm 18). But no way in hell would I, because I would never trust that the girl was ready. I've learnt that no matter what (teenage) girls say they feel about you, it can always easily change in a month or two.

 

And congrats.

I came to this forum and I was thinking, "Ok, there are a lot of people here and a lot of accomplishments." But how can I ever make visible that I would see this so immediatley?

 

This goes to Tyler: Have a good time with your life! Take a deep breath, everything will turn out just fine!

Congrats Tylerrrr! <3

 

You've got to give me details, I've been dying all weekend. I hope everything went as well as you hoped. :) Are you posting pictures of the ring, or you guys 'celebrating' after the engagement? Rawr.

 

Awwww, I'm getting all misty-eyed! You crazy kids.

 

For real, get married in Vegas. Weddings are expensive and a pain in the ass, and all you're going to have to listen to for the next year is your family and her family constantly bitching and giving you demands on what you "have" to do.

 

Trust me. I know. All too well. Ours turned out wonderfully, but it was a struggle to get to that point.

I'm 21, bitches. This isn't a teenage engagement... although, it's sorta close. I've been dating her for almost four years, though, so piss off :P

 

And pics will be forthcoming. I just got back to school, so I've got to connect my scanner.

 

We're going to do it in April of '07, because I want to give her like, a year and a half to plan. I don't really think teenage engagements are entirely useless... if you're mature enough that you really know what you're getting into. I think I'm pretty solid in that department, but then again, maybe not. Either way, her dad is loaded and it's gonna be a fun party.
