Sigh, only a couple more weeks and my university life will have come to an end.
What's next is an engagement. I know it's coming cause we've talked about before and the only thing holding him back was me wanting to finish school first. I know he's planning it soon too cause we've looked at ring sizing and types, as well as I know he went out looking with his sister and possibly mine too.
I can't believe I told him I'd say no if he asked while I was still in school cause it's be too stressful. I'm just a glutton for punishment. sweatdrop
Now it's the tension of finishing school that's getting to me, but I don't know if the ring would have made me more stressed or not. What do you guys think? Was I wrong to tell him to wait? or would it have been WAY too stressful finishing university and planning a ceremony?
(If it helps, I'm 22 and so is he, and he has a good paying career type job. We both live in Canada.)

(If it helps, I'm 22 and so is he, and he has a good paying career type job. We both live in Canada.) i dont blame you for waiting. my boyfriend and I are planning on getting married, and Im a sophmore (soon junior) in university. and it really is stressful with school and wedding planning all at once. Ive been stressing myself out so much ive actually made myself sick sad Im sure not everyone is like this, but if you guys can last that long knowing you still what the marriage I say good for you! Waiting isnt always bad, it makes it even better when it happens 3nodding

I'm in somewhat of the same situation as you. I graduate from college in May. My fiance and I had began talking about getting married this past summer, he proposed to me that day after Christmas, we are getting married in July.
It has been stressful planning a wedding and going to school at the same time, but it has also been helpful to be in school and planning a wedding. I have so many people doing free labor... I mean helping me out! biggrin
We probably would have waited longer to get engaged if it hadn't been for him starting grad school in the fall. We decided we should get married this summer. But, we wanted to have a long enough time to plan the wedding we wanted- hence getting engaged while I was still in school (he graduated last year and has been doing research in a nearby medical lab). I know I could have started planning before getting engaged, but I didn't really want to.
Part of me feels like it would have been smarter to wait, and if not smarter at lest less stressful- but I wouldn't give up that moment where he proposed to me for the world!

I'm in my final year of college, and my fiancee and I got engaged half way through the year. Personally, I think it has helped me deal with my schooling coming to an end because it gives my life some sort of stability beyond school. I know that even life is rocky after school, I'll still have my guy. 3nodding

I was still hunting for a job when my husband proposed. He said we didn't have to set a date right away, so we didn't, but we treated the engagement as a just a firmer committment to each other. We ended up engaged for two and a half years before we got married. You don't have to get get married right after you get engaged.

Pandora_B I'm in my final year of college, and my fiancee and I got engaged half way through the year. Personally, I think it has helped me deal with my schooling coming to an end because it gives my life some sort of stability beyond school. I know that even life is rocky after school, I'll still have my guy. 3nodding That is the other thing I find very nice. I'm not getting the most helpful or useful degree in the world (Theatre, technical emphasis) when I graduate in about a month (!). Ryan and I will be getting married, I know that there is something for certain coming up in my life. That is such a huge, wonderful blessing and relief. I'm not the time of woman who needs a man, I consider myself far from it in fact. But I do like knowing I get to have a man.
