I'm sorry but you couldn't wait to tell them that you were engaged before posting it on facebook?
You just HAD to talk to HIM, there was no way that your little heart could conceive of hanging up for a few minutes and telling your family?
And you think you're ready to be married?
Do you not understand that you have the rest of your lives to talk to eachother?
And you're putting more precendence on talking to your fiance over the phone as opposed to calling your friends and family and letting them know as opposed to letting them find out through an impoersonal social networking site?
Damn it, see, I was expecting to hear an argument about how you actually ARE mature enough to get married but you sound like a child, still!
I couldn't tell my family, I was on the phone with my fiance? Seriously? Did he propose over the phone? Or are you guys glued to the phone to eachother when he is not around? Like, he proposed and then left immediately and called you the moment he left?
I was talking on the phone with him when I posted it. He told me to go ahead and do it..
I just didn't want to fucking hang up!! Ok?? I like talking to him!! We talk every day! We enjoy it! Sheesh...
I do know that, but right now, we still like just being with each other. We can't get enough of each other. Every time we're away from each other, we absolutely can't stand it...
I am mature enough! Just because I posted about my engagement on facebook doesn't mean I'm not mature!
No, he didn't propose over the phone.. that would be dumb...
Ok, here's how that day went:
We went to church in the morning, after we went to the movies.. that's where he proposed (due to personal memories there), we went to night church service, then went home..... when I got home, that's when he called and I posted on FaceBook....
We call as soon as we get home no matter how much of the day we've spent together.. We love each other so much.. shouldn't that be enough?
OK seriously, you can not be 18.
"I just didn't want to fucking hang up!! Ok?? I like talking to him!! We talk every day! We enjoy it! Sheesh..."
That's your reasoning for not telling your parents face to face that you're getting married? Really? How logical and adult of you...
You were in THAT big of a hurry to post it on Facebook that you didn't even STOP to think about how your family would feel about not being told of your engagement? Your first thought wasn't that you should tell your parents, friends and family and people that would like to KNOW THESE THINGS FROM YOU, it was "OMG POST IT ON FACEBOOK WE'RE ENGAGED LOL!" That's CHILDISH.
And no, that's not enough. It's not called love when you have to talk to him/see him every day/spend that much time with him/CAN NOT be without him. It's called co-dependency. Does he have a job? Do you? What about your finances?
Marriage is a very adult thing, it's not all about love. Love plays a role in it, but it's not all about love. If it was that simple, then the market for divorce lawyers would be slim at best.
I am 18...? My parents are 300 miles away.. I CAN'T tell them face to face..
We actually don't spend a lot of time together.. we see each other twice a week... at best.. so talking on the phone is what we like to do..
He has a job, I don't.. I'm working on getting one, it's taking a while..
But the point I am trying to make here is that they found out via Facebook.
My Mom lives over 2000 miles away and she knew of my engagement before I posted anything on my facebook. My friends and family live 2000 miles away and they knew of my engagement before I posted anything on Facebook. That's really not much of an excuse for me, sorry.
I still can't believe you're 18. I don't see how an adult can not understand why friends and family would be unhappy that their relative/friend chooses to use Facebook to inform them of a marriage, especially at 18. And especially considering you two haven't lived with eachother yet. Being a couple and living together are two totally different experiences, and at 18, you don't understand this?
Sorry, I might be being too harsh about this. By 18 I was on my own, working full-time and going to college. Maybe 18 year olds aren't as mature as I thought.
You don't even know of finances, of loans or rental procedures, insurances and licensing, there is so much in the real world that you need to know before you even think about marriage! You don't even have a job, damn it, you're still a kid! Love is not enough and never will be!
Is it normal for his family to hate our engagement?

Ok, yeah, that sounds really stupid.
