My boyfriend & I have been dating for 5 years now. He's 23 & I'll be 22 in September. Alot of our friends have gotten engaged or married & it doesn't seem like he is even close to proposing. He has a good paying career which he has had for almost 2 years... I work at a daycare making minimum wage but that's what I went to college for... Do you think that's why he doesn't want to marry me?

She loves me tons, she's super cute, super caring, nurturing, her voice is wayyy too good, super creative, super kind, super patient, she truly loves me, super thoughtful. I want to make her my wife as soon as possible. She does this thing, with her voice, that makes me feel like I'm in heaven. I truly need her in my life forever. I'm not a pussy too, so I'm not going to leave her ever. The best part is her name. Her name is Mona, it's so much fun saying it, just imagining me saying her name all throughout my life, makes me super excited and happy. Just picturing me next to her, and making a family with her, makes me think the world is a fair and happy place. That such an angel can exist. She's such a nerd too, she likes anime, and video games, and she's into the weirdest but awesome stuff. She loves watching videos and movies, and I do too so It's a match made in heaven. Anything I do with her, makes me happy. Thanks to her. I have super sweet nights. I owe her my life. She takes care of me so well. Every single waking second of my life, I think of her. She's my only thoughts all throughout my days and night.

My fiance and I are writing our own vows and she wants me to 'proofread' them to make sure they are 'adequate.' I told her that whatever she has to say, it will be wonderful, and that I don't want to 'proofread' her love or even look at her vows before our big day. Is it acceptable by tradition to read each others vows before hand? Should I have her sister help her? Should I just look them over and tell her she did a great job?

I wanna propose to my girlfriend. Her name is Taylor. Can anyone give me some ideas? Thank you

What is your opinion on this? I started dating my boyfriend when I was 20 years old and he was 21. We are both in the same profession & I had been working at my job for a year, 2 years for him. We got engaged when I was 23, and we had been dating 2 years & 8 months. My brothers wife commented on how fast we got engaged / how young we are.. But I think she did that because they were together 10 years before getting engaged.

I really want my wedding to be on the water and everywhere I have looked into so far either I have to use their catering services, which are expensive, or I can only have wine or no alcohol is allowed at all. Basically I want to find a place to rent out that's on the water and leave the catering and alcohol up to me. I live near Dunkirk New York so I'd like it to be close within reason....I also tried looking into places in PA on the water but am not familiar with that state. So .... Does anyone know of such a place?

Okay so I'm 25, 26 in September & his little sister just turned 24 and her boyfriend proposed to her on her bday. They had been together for 3 1/2 years. Well my boyfriend & I have been together for 9 1/2 years!!! I'm mad and kind of took it out on her... My boyfriend saw how upset I am and said "why aren't you happy for her" like he doesn't get why I'm upset...

Will he ever purpose? I'm 22 & he's 24. We moved in together a few months ago. We have been in 2 weddings & it seems like all of our friends are getting engaged... But us. I asked his sister if he ever talks about marring me but she said "no, I asked him when he'll get married and he laughed and said 10 years" I love him but what do I do

Im getting married in April of next year (2016) and him and I both have 1 son each. His son will be 5 at the time and mine will be 2 at the time. He suggested having his son walk me down the isle with my dad also. I think his son and my son should both be ring bearers together as new brothers and I feel hes a little young for walking me down the isle. What would you guys suggest at that age?

I am in my mid 30s. My relationship goals are marriage and to have a baby. I have been dating a guy for the past 2 months. It seems like I have known him forever. We have a lot in common and so far so good. He's great and I've never felt this much compatibility with someone so early on. I got out of a 6 year relationship last summer. He just finalized a divorce and had been separated since last spring. He has 2 young kids. I know that I definitely don't want to spend the next 6 years in another relationship that doesn't go anywhere. In fact, I don't want to spend longer then a year (at the most) without getting engaged. I know who I am and I know what I want and that is not going to change. I know what I want and I know who I want. I don't have time to waste messing around with someone who doesn't have the same goals as me. Should I lay this out on the table for him? Is it too soon to have this conversation? If he's not on the same page I'd rather move on sooner than later. But then again the potential is there at 2 months then is it too soon for a serious conversation. I also already know I'm in love with him but I don't want to scare him off. I'm pretty sure his feelings are the same and we are compatible in future but I don't want to risk rushing something good. Thoughts?

Shes having problems with financial aid for school and wants to hurry our marriage along so she can claim herself. Financial aid is broken in texas shes been living on her own since 18 and still has to go through her dad to claim it. She followed me for work so she left her job, and took 3 months to find a new one where we moved to. I paid for all her bills while she was looking then quit the job because it was to hard before finding a new one. She now has a new job and while at work called her dad/school got all emotional started crying at work and talking **** to her dad. I feel all of this could of been taken care of AFTER work seeing how she gets out at 3:30... This leaves me paying for her school, car, phone, insurance etc. on top of my own bills. She has anger/depression problems because she keeps comparing herself to people she went to school with in relation to where she is at in life and suffers from self esteem issues. She gets angry and lashes out at any customer service person she calls and alot of the time she directs anger at other issues at me. Honestly I think i am done but I do not know how to break it off when she lives with me and dont think she could support herself without me. I am also a little worried she will go crazy and make a scene or break my tv which she has threatened to do in the midst of one of our fights.

I'm the youngest of 4. I have an older brother and two older sisters. Our mom died when I was 13 and our dad remarried when I was 15. My siblings really dislike my stepmother. One of them doesn't even talk to my dad because of their issues with her. All of my siblings are married, all eloped. It hurt my dad quite a bit because he's confided in me that he feels like he's losing my other siblings who still talk to him. Anyway, my dad asked me to include my stepmother, actually he practically begged me to include her. So I've been trying. And sometimes it's easier than others. The main issue we have is my mom left these books for all of us where she wrote messages and gave advice for different stages in our lives. I've been reading and taking advice from it a lot for this. It's just nice to get her opinion even though she's not here. My stepmother seems to hate it's existence and she tries to make me feel bad for wanting to know what my mom would have liked or what she thought about certain things. It's causing arguments and driving me insane. I've considered just not trying to include her but then I get a call from my dad saying he appreciates what I'm doing. What should I do? I'm hoping to go dress shopping later this month and dreading it because I already invited my sisters and I don't think it'll be much fun if she comes. I just don't want to upset/hurt anyone, but I also don't want this to be more stressful than it has to be. Oh, and my fiancé and I are paying for everything. I don't live with them, but she comes over to my house a lot and she's seen it before.

Or your girlfriend / boyfriends family

I have to request time off for a wedding, I work about 30mins from home. The wedding is in my hometown and it is at 4:30pm. My question is when is an appropriate time to ask to leave?

Where are some good places in the united States to spend our honeymoon at the end of October? Thank you for all suggestions.

So my fiancé doesn't think we should have our full first names on our invitations because everyone knows us a Vin & Bree, not Vincent & Brianna. I still think it looks better with our full names

My fiancé & I are talking about our wedding & I have a male friend he's gay we've been friends for 15+ years. I always wanted him in my wedding. So, I asked my husband if he can be in the bridal party as a groomsmen & in one of his close female friends can be one of my bridesmaides Is this weird?

My husband and I got divorced during my daughter's first year of college. My son was a junior. He was a devoted father. He moved 1500 miles away from them and sees them twice a year. He has a low paying job and my kids are good to him. I met someone and we began living together six months later and then got married. My daughter and he are very, very close. The just got engaged. He treats her like a daughter. His own daughter, for some reason, is not a nice person and has conflicts with lots of people. He's tried to be close to her, but she is hurtful to her grandmother, father and me. She has a relationship with her own mother. Anyway, my husband feels like an outsider. He is helping to finance the wedding since my ex-can't afford to. I understand, but moreover, he has guided her and she calls him and he calls her. My son loves him too. My husband feels that it is her Father's day- and that he should stay out of the way. My daughter insists he has to be part of the wedding in some way, but can't figure out how. Any ideas? My daughter has just gotten engaged. She is very close with her step father. She has known him for 14 years. I'm sure she would be equally close with her father, but he moved over 1000 miles away. Can my husband play a role in her wedding? She wants him to feel special and a part of it.

So I've picked out the perfect ring and I'm still deciding where to "pop the question" and what exactly to say. There's so much I want to say about us, how I've been crazy about her since high school (when we first met), how I love watching her sleep in on weekends, how I even love the sound of her voice. I mean it's things I've said countless times before but I still feel strongly about, but should I just keep it short and just ask? The proposal itself has been a long time coming, we've been together three years and I moved across the country with her for her job so it's not going to be a huge suprise, but I want this to be perfect. So should I keep it short?

Coming from a person with parents that are separated could alter my feelings on marriage but honestly, I dont dream of getting married one day. People make a big deal out of it and put so much thought into it where as I just see it as a piece of paper. With most marriages failing, I dont see the point in adding a contract to something if its most likely not going to last. Just the same reason I wouldnt put a contract on a phone if it has a high chance of breaking soon? What are other peoples thoughts on marriage? Is it really that necessary?

I love her with all my heart words can't explain how much I love her.. We've been dating since we're 16 and I wanted to propose when we were 17 but she said she wanted to have enough money for a wedding before we talk about it were now 19 and I know I'm ready we will be 20 in a few weeks(I keep saying we because our birthdays are the same month) ANYWAY!!! I'm not creative and I want it to be really really special but I don't wanna give her any ideas that I'm about to propose any ideas? Please be serious
