[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 years ago I went on vacation and came back married without an engagement. I know I'm in the minority here, but I think engagements are silly. If you decide you want to get married, go do it. I'm not a jewelry person either, so no ring. In hindsight, people at work probably thought it was weird too. Why do you even care enough to post about this? [/quote]

New poster and just saying, it's pretty judgy to deem all engagements "silly." An engagement is not necessarily a showy event with a big, dramatic "ask" in public and a huge ring, followed by months of gushy wedding planning, if that's what you're thinking of. And it's easy to say "if you want to get married, go do it," but some people agree to marry (so...an engagment) and then need time to make arrangements you might not have considered. And I don't mean arrangements as in planning a wedding ceremony. Couples may have to wait for financial reasons, or because one or both need to move to a new location first, or for myriad other reasons. It's pretty black-and-white to say "engagements are silly," period, if you don't know people's circumstances. [/quote]
