One more topic that’s weighing on me… I know several DW readers are in this “pre-engaged” state, just like me. Where you’re with the person you want to marry, it seems like it’s about to happen, but you’re still waiting. This article really resonated with me (I didn’t actually go to David’s Bridal like the author, but I did sign up for the Knot with a fake wedding date just so I could read the articles, and I started getting ridiculous junk mail that made my parents and boyfriend start asking questions):

So what are your stories? And what are you feeling? I know at least Anna and GatorGirl and a few others are here, too. It’s a strange phase of life to be in because you’re already preparing for the next step, but you’re trying simultaneously to not get your hopes up for every birthday and every holiday (I’m looking at you, Christmas and Valentine’s Day!).
So, yeah. Just wanted to start a conversation about what it’s like to be in that limbo stage. What are your thoughts?
