Yup - this is exactly our situation! Hee hee! (But, I don''t have dress...yet!). I agree, it is a silly thing about the whole ring and such. Luckily, I have a friend who just went through the same thing, so we laugh about it a little - especially when wedding vendors say, "oh, congrats on your engagement" - we are like..."ummm...thanks, I think. I guess we are engaged since we are reserving this venue"...ha ha!!Date: 7/4/2009 10:19:23 AM

and by the way, the ''engaged v. not engaged'' thing bothers me. it''s such a silly distinction people try to make. some couples get engaged after knowing each other for 2 months, and then have 3 year engagements so that they can get to know each other before committing to marriage. to me, that is much less committal than the position that you are in. a ring is just that. it''s your intentions that matter! my fiance has some friends who have been dating 8 years, living together 5, who have now decided to get married. they have a date, she has a dress. he has not officially ''proposed'' and she does not have a ring, but they mutually decided to get married. they are engaged to be married, just like it sounds like you are!!
