I proposed back in March.....
...be aware she will get up early the next morning to go out to buy Wedding magazines. It really, really starts that quickly.

depends on the woman
I got engaged back in April, and my mrs has been given some wedding magazines. We went through them together and decide just how much we didn't want it to be anything like any of the weddings or features in the magazines.

I've been engaged since january
of 2007.

I'm too poor for a wedding, so I'm content being a fiance. To be honest, the Mister wanted to end it due to my brief depression and substance abuse issues. But he decided to try the opposite path and see what happened. Dating for 13 days, and he does that. We've lived blissfully ever since, I don't really look at wedding mags. For now Just sharing a place with the person you love is all I'll need.

Hope the proposal goes the way it should. If you're on thin ice right now, sometimes it makes people look and seriously think about how much they love the other person! Good for you. :)
