So, my FH leaves for bootcamp/training in the Navy early Nov of this year... so planning a wedding is not something we can afford/plan with such short notice. He insists on it being okay cause its "just a peice of paper" and that he really wants to marry me. Call me old fashioned... its not what I've always imagined it would be. My parents are not young like his and have their health issues, and I can't imagine them not there...I can't. He didn't want it to be like this either but he decided he wanted to marry me AFTER he decided to join. We have been together for 2 years. He says we can celebrate later with family/friends (it feels unlikey) it is dissappointing. But at the end of the day we are very much in love with each other & apart of me doesn't care because we have things in our lives we need to take care of and we want to acheive them together
I was hoping to talk to someone who has been through this or could offer positive advice on this situation.
Thankyou for reading
