NICE ONE!

Its a a surefire ratings winner. I'm sure the shows numerous exec producers will manage to find plenty of strands even in a 'small wedding'

I am of course heart-broken tho'

You know, I didn't have a huge wedding myself. We got married in Vegas, at the Bellagio. I did the dress, we had flowers, took nice pictures, it was good. I love Vegas for weddings, because you can seriously do whatever you want, and fit it to what you want out of that day...

I don't see why you wouldn't tell them, but I don't know your parents

Aren't you living with them? You're living in their house, engaged to their daughter and she won't tell her folks? That seems strange.

If you can't tell your parents while your bf is living with you, why accept the ring? It's not my place. I'm just confused. You say you know her parents and don't get it. If you're not ready to tell the world you're engaged perhaps you shouldn't be.

I can see why she might not want to tell them yet...

I didn't want to tell my parents until I had a "plan". Because if you don't have a "Plan" sometimes they want to make it for you...

I agree, there is no reason to deal with added pressure or stress from telling them something which they do not currently need to know

Seriously....all these major life changes, marriage, babies, when you tell other people, sometimes especially parents, suddenly they think it concerns them more than it really does. With these types of events, everyone that's close, or sometimes not even close gets to come out and tell you how to do it.

It kills the mood...

I don't think that's what anyone was asking.

No one seems to understand why you're hiding your engagement from your parents when it should be a happy time.

I feel like I’m mooching off my parents as things are right now. I just want them to be proud of me and happy about my decision rather than making them feel like we’re mooching off of them. While I’m still living at home I feel like a child. I feel like if they know I’m engaged they won’t take it seriously. They didn’t know about my previous engagement till they read the word “fiancé” in his obituary. I just want to have my feet on the ground and all my crap straight so they don’t have to worry about me. I don’t want all the “How are you two going to take care of yourselves…” “Are you sure you’re ready for this, you don’t even have your own place…” I know my parents will ask that crap and I just don’t’ wanna deal with it yet. As soon as we have the money to support ourselves I’m going to sit everyone down and tell them, then have a big party. it's hard to explain
