I got engaged not this past Friday, but the one before. He didn't ask, we were talking about it and before we knew it had set a date. He's going to ask my father in May, and he's planning some big surprise revolving around my ring. What's so funny is that in everyday life, we're really romantic. (We went to a field to pick buttercups the other day, for example.) The decision to get married was finalized because we decided that being together would actually be cheaper than being apart, and since we loved each other and both wanted to be together all the time and have children soon, we might as well get married soon as opposed to waiting. We're going through a couples Bible study, premarital counseling, Financial Peace University, and working extra hours to save up.
I think planning the wedding together is important because it may bring up things about each other's personality that you haven't had to deal with yet, and probably wouldn't have to deal with until you made major decisions when you're married. Might as well go into marriage as prepared as you can be!
