haven't read whole thread - would just say that if everyone waited until they could afford a baby, then there would be very few children born! if you are committed enough to each other to consider marriage seriously, then good on you!! I think you are both very sensible and are doing this exactly the right way. Maz. XX

Follow your heart - you know deep down what's right for you. My husband and I ( sorry, didn't mean to sound like the Queen then ) got engaged after 5 weeks.11 years and 2 kids later, still going strong. Not always been hearts and roses, but both decided we were in it for the long haul, so you take the rough with the smooth. All the very best Sharonxx

Carol, i dont have ANY doubts, whatso ever. I have been engaged once before, had doubts from the word go, i wasnt happy and wasnt faithful to him..a few times lol so i put a stop to it. This is gonna sound so mushy and sickly but sometimes i can just cry cos i love him so much its over whelming (blurgh i hear you all say lol) But you know what i mean girls dont you! xxxx

Oh Princess........ I feel like saying congratulations LOL......... you sound blissfully happy and long may it last and may you always feel like this about one another. Having babies regardless of how well off you are is always going to be a strain , but a most pleasurable one.......... you go for it darlin -x-

Carole Report 23 Mar 2006 12:47

Go for it, Steph. I was engaged within 5 months & married a year later, at the age of 22. We are now coming up to our 23rd anniversary & still very happy. You know when its the right person - you don't have any doubts. Carole

Lily my thoughts exactly! I want a nice wedding, not huge but nice, we want it the way WE want it, its our day (and of course for our mums too) lol! Paul, dont be such a sour grouch lol, we have already spoken to our friends about travelling, as long as me and my best friend dont have children in the next two years at some point all four of us are going together, did start making the arrangements but none of us felt right about it so have decided to hang on to our flats and wait!

Go for it! Agree with Lucy about the baby bit though. Was discussing having babies with a friend last night who's been married for 2 years now (she's 28), she wants a baby but still can't get her head 'round having her life dominated by a baby (ie. less socialising, shopping etc).

Princess......my lovely daughter gave me two and half weeks notice of her forthcoming wedding!!!! she had only know him three months, now...13 years later and two children. they are still very happy...time/age doesn't have anything to do with it......forget the enagement, just get married lol.......Lilly....... ps son getting married in Sept, and both are having nervous break downs over the arrangments, bride to be, comes from a very, wealth american family, so every thing has to be big and prefect, I can not see the point,....... just get married it will mean exactly the same.....

NEVER! ditch him, travel round the world, do all the things you think you want to do, then settle down when all your ambitions have been achieved!

Just follow your hearts, you will now when it is right for you. If you think the time is right then go for it - only you and Aaron can decide what is right for both of you. xxx

cor i wanna do it NOW lol right this second hehe! His mum always tells us to wait until we have a house and mortgage (we rent a flat) but that seems so far away, well a year or two maybe...hes already told me im not allowed to propose he wants to do it so its just the waiting game now xx

Lucy Report 23 Mar 2006 12:37

Think I'd hang fire on the baby bit tho - spend some quality time with just each other first. And as for affording babies - well, who amongst us can? If we all waited to afford babies there wouldn't be many born!! Go on....plan your wedding, then spend the next year or so planning your family. OOOHHH its exciting! Lucy x who has no idea what colour her eyes are!!! . - GREEN AT THE MOMENT!!! LOL!! X

Go for it - you both feel the time is right so why wait? I only knew my hubby for 3 months before we got married and we have now been together for 20 years.
