engagement squabble #1: we just got engaged and i'm itching to plan the wedding and suddenly he doesn't seem to care... what's wrong??

well, according to theknot.com (yes, i sometimes resort to self-help stuff) it's usually the bride who comes off the newly engaged cloud and itches to start pegging a date, planning the dress, calling up the caterer and dreaming up the wedding day. on the other hand, the groom seems to be almost aloof all of a sudden about the wedding plans. you must remember that it was the groom who did all the proposing ergo the planning that came with it. he's probably not up to do any major planning anytime soon and would just like to bask in the newly engaged glow. the bride on the other hand feels like a new chapter has just opened up and thus planning the wedding will ensue soon after the engagement.

theknot.com's advice: give him a little time to relax and enjoy the triumph of having you say "yes!" sooner or later, he will come off the cloud (probably later than you will) and will participate or at least give some semblance of planning the wedding/ pegging the date. don't forget that the reason he proposed was to marry you in the end.

so there you have it and it actually makes sense. i guess if i had to plan an elaborate proposal i'd be in no rush to plan another big event. i'll just have to find an outlet for my excitement like blogging or scrapbooking instead of nagging him to peg a date and decide already. it will come in its own time, just like everything usually does between stan and me. at least when he does want to talk about it, i'll have all the details ready and we can just pick off whatever i've prepared.

i'll give him till mid feb (when i come home from makeup school) to stay in his cloud.
