    We had a long engagement, but that was a mutual decision to wait until I was out of college and working. We're also not your average couple. That being said...I get wanting to get engaged and not marrying right away because you *both* want to make sure the loose ends are all tied up first. But if a guy is asking a girl to marry him to shut her up and then delaying the wedding as long as he can...I have to ask why stay with her? Seriously? Why keep stringing her along?

    Wow. Why propose if you are then going to be in a panic to postpone as long as possible?!? What's the point of that? What do they get out of it?

    Different perspective-

    I simply told my children no babies or marriage before age 30. I'm serious.

    Live ya life first!!!!

    Wow. Just wow.  If you're not ready, why propose?  If you're ready but you need a long engagement for whatever reason, just be honest about it!

    I think they do it because it shuts her up and gives them enough leeway that if they find someone else they can jump on it.... My opinion tho.
    Without reason you have Rhythm and Rhyme the type of girl who knows how to have a good time... You take what you want except no for an answer... And I know first hand you're one hell of a dancer... So calling all cars and low and behold you're a real livewire with a heart of gold
