How do they sound with your last name? Do both work? Sometimes depending on the last name they might sound silly together or not flow smoothly. That said and not knowing your last night I would say Ethan. Good Luck!

The exchange rate for the peco for Mexico is 10 to 1 with the american dollar. So what I am trying to say is you can get a lot more in Mexico for your money. Plus airfare is cheaper to Mexico than the islands. In addition if you chose an All-inclusive resort all meals and drinks are included. Makes affording your trip much easier. Good Luck with your planning.

My FI and I had talked about getting married since two months into our relationship. He told me that one day he wanted to marry me, so for a year and a half we "talked" about it and knew that one day we would. When we had the money we shopped for my ring together because it was no surprise that we were going to get married. (He had moved from another state to be with me, so it was a pretty sure thing!) I still wanted the "official" proposal though, even though I wanted to help pick out my ring. (What can I say, I am a girl!) So FI kept the ring after we picked it out to "surprise" me with a proposal in the near future. I told him he could wait long! He ended up "officially" proposing about a month later. I say Officially as in he asked me, said a bunch of romantic things and gave me the ring. To me that is when I considered us "engaged." BUT.. had we done things as you did, with setting the date and continuing with the planning, I would consider that engaged. If you feel like you are missing out on the "pop the question" bit then ask him if he will do a proper proposal when he gets the ring, even if he knows the answer will be yes. Every girl deserves to be told how much the man she loves wants to spend forever with her.

That will be here before you know it! Good luck in your planning and welcome!

Welcome to the forum!

I have heard of it and have viewed the site before but I don't know anyone that has used it. It was recommended in Brides magazine on a list of websites they recommended.

HMM, I think I need a do-over! I am a very emotional personal, I cry at weddings, movies, sappy love notes that FI writes.....and I didn't cry when FI proposed (it wasn't the best). I assume I will cry at the wedding, but I think he will too and I want to make sure the photographer gets a picture of that. I love seeing pics where the groom as teary- so cute! Waterproof mascara and hope for the best!

Welcome and Congrats! Sounds like you have a really romantic proposal!
