Hi everyone! My name is Chelsey, & I am newly engaged to my, now FIANCE'!, of 10 years as of Christmas Eve 16! He proposed at our home on Cmas Eve night. Every year on Cmas Eve I cook our favorite holiday foods for just the two of us & spend time alone before all of our family festivities hit on Cmas Day. It is a very special time that I look forward to every year, so the time he chose for the proposal could not have been more perfect for me! Justin (26) & I (25) have grown up together these past TEN years & he is my true companion in life and best friend. We've lived together for a little over 2 years now & own our home. I am in college for my 2nd time as well, while working full time, therefore making our wedding/honeymoon plans is going to make my life even more interesting, LOL! No date set, but are looking at Jan. 2018. I am hoping to do a private Caribbean destination wedding/honeymoon & a reception upon our return! Thanks everyone for any advice given in 2017! xoxo!

Congratulations! We were ten years in when we got engaged as well, and it has been totally worth the wait. Being in school, working, and planning a wedding can be challenging, but once you're done you'll feel like you have all the free time in the world.

Thank you Holly! & I agree completely, worth every second that we waited! After so long it's as if this just put me back in the butterflies stage, hehe. And yes! After how frazzled I am going to be this year, I won't know what to do with myself with any extra time after we are married, lol.

Congratulations and welcome! I just want to say don't forget to read the new users sticky if you haven't already! The ladies and gents on here have so much useful advice so don't be afraid to ask. I'd suggest also to make sure you lurk a little, because someone may have asked a question already that you were curious about. Happy planning!
