Engagement


What's the point of getting engaged in 44 years of age? You're supposed to have the maturity to judge whether you can be with a guy or not.

But as the philosopher Jagger once said, "You can't always get what you want".

What is wrong with getting engaged at 44, and getting married, and maybe having children? You can get married at any age. And have babies at any age. It would be lovely if Lauren Graham and Peter Krause got engaged and married. They make a beautiful couple.

You can never actually know if the person you decide to spend the rest of your life with is right, or if the marriage or whatever will last, you just have to go with it, and trust that it will. Also you don't have to get married or have a family at all, you can just be with someone who you love, and spend the rest of your lives together, without labeling it.

Did you even read what I wrote? Did I mention marriage and children? We're not in the 50's where people got engaged in order to have some time to know each other before the wedding. The whole "engagement" thing seems pretty useless to me nowadays, especially for people over 25.

Uh, I'm not sure what your point is. Is she supposed to skip engagement and just go to the wedding?

And I don't think that I'll ever magically be able to judge a man right away, no matter how old I get.

Evita, the others are right. Being engaged just means that you are engaged to be married. Most people begin planning their wedding as soon as they become engaged.

reply

Exactly. What they both at the exact same time have a thought that tomorrow we will marry.

Engagements are one person telling the other do you want to make this official? Be together for the rest of our lives?

The OP seems so weird. I don't even get your point here.

lol...yeah but 1) like others have said, it just means they are starting to plan it,

and 2) its just...tradition... nothing wrong with tradition! who just jumps straight into a wedding??? it takes months to plan a wedding...that's what "engagement" is (for some!)
