On Christmas eve my fiance proposed under the Christmas tree at Rockefeller center in NYC. It was so romantic. Naturally all the women in the family started talking about plans the day after. I think it freaked out my fiance a little, and he's getting annoyed b/c everyone keeps asking the date. Should I stop talking about it?... Im just so excited. I'm sure it's because he just wants to enjoy the moment.. this happen to anyone else?

Congratulations! I wish you both the best. Naturally you're excited and your family. Hopefully your fiance can understand that and also hopefully the newness of it all will subside a bit so he doesn't have to feel pressured to make it happen *now*, lol.
When asked about the date just say "we'll decide that later."

Congratulations!! What a romantic proposal.
Continue talking about all the wonderful possibilities that could become of that special day with your honey. The two of you should be sharing your thoughts and excitement. Tell your family however that at this time you are just enjoying the engagement and letting the newness of this next step linger for a little while. Slowly begin talking with him about seasons or times of the year that you would like to get married and let discussion flow from there.
Wishing you a future of love and happiness!

How romantic can you get?! Wow! Congratulations!
Tell him that's just the way women are. And the day you get married, someone will have the nerve to ask you when you're going to have a baby.
Both of you enjoy this exciting time, together. Try to stay in the moment & not talk ALL the time about the wedding. You also might want to tell some of your family to let up a little.

I bet it's normal... Most guys are like that...Ya know, they can only concentrate on one thing at a time! I am lucky because my fiance picked a date before he officially proposed (big clue that I knew it was coming, LOL). Wait a month or two to let him calm down, ask if he cares about the date or if he has anything in mind and if he doesn't know- then go pick it all yourself. Most guys expect the girl to take care of all this stuff. My guy is very hands on with certain things (to my shock). At the same time there are other things I ask him about and he looks at me and very sweetly says, "honey can you do that? i'm not any good at picking this or that." Any way, give him time to calm down, he was probably so nervous in asking you!! He needs chill time. Then once you start planning, remember, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!! Don't fight!! I've given in on just as much stuff as he has. For example... I want a limo. He doesn't. He wants top hats and canes for the guys. I don't. So, it is OUR wedding... so why not top hats and canes (even thought I hate the idea) and I get to have a limo. Good luck!

My fiance and I picked out a date about 1-2 weeks after he proposed and I said yes.
Enjoy being engaged for a while! No need to set a date immediately (though as you found out you will be bugged till you set a date!).

In my eyes, there is no useful why to be engaged. a lot of human beings do it many distinctive techniques. it is all approximately what works for the human beings in contact. For my husband and that i, we stated desirous to be married (acquaintances of ours had merely gotten engaged, and that i stated some thing alongside the lines of, "So, do you think of which will ever be us?" and the subsequent weekend we've been finding at rings!). We did no longer evaluate ourselves engaged until he proposed to me. i might have been chuffed to be engaged without a ring, yet he had to be extra classic. considering the fact that we the two owned a house at the same time in the past we've been given engaged and that i'm relatively self sufficient, he did no longer experience the might desire to ask my mum and dad for their "permission" (plus i'm no longer close with my father). I knew that he had bought the hoop, yet did no longer comprehend how or whilst he became going to propose. He did an extremely candy ask your self theory that ended with him on one knee, asking me to delight marry him. he does no longer enable me placed the hoop on until I stated sure. Then we seen ourselves engaged. interior america, there is no legality in contact with being engaged - marriage is whilst legality comes into play. long tale short, a pair is seen engaged whilst they p.c. it is suitable. For some human beings it is classic, for others it is merely as you placed it - "ok, candy, we are engaged now."

I got engaged on Christmas, a day after you, and EVERYONE and their MOTHER has asked us 'have you set a date yet?" It is so annoying because hello, we are just trying to ENJOY the moment!!!!!!!!!!! lol. I think it's normal though for people to ask. Just try to enjoy your new engagement and start taking about 'ballpark' timeframes for the wedding. For example, we have decided to do it in a year or year and a half. :) CONGRATS!

Yes I can see how he is getting annoyed. He probably feels pressured. Stop asking him the date and let him have his own space. It is his choice and he should make the date at this point. Don't have anyone say anymore about it and more than likely he will choose something sooner than you think. The less said the better.

Tell everyone in the family you are in for a long engagement and see if that gets the point across. If not, let them know that neither of you are ready to set a date just yet.
