I Am Getting Married

It's been a while since I last logged into SW. I just got engaged to someone very special to me. I'm happy, but honestly not as happy as I should be.
I imagined myself still in college right now with a part time job, hanging out with friends and making new ones. I imagined myself being in a relationship and eventually getting married after some time of living like normal couples.
Instead, I'm almost done with my course, haven't even moved in with him before taking a plunge like this one and by summer next year, we'll be leaving my hometown to be with him across the country and leaving my life and family behind.
He's everything I imagined as a person to spend the rest of my life with.
I'm being forced and rushed into making a wedding when I don't really want that. In the next month we'll be married and have a wedding ceremony in December. I thought things like these took time and one was supposed to enjoy it.. Not enjoying it at all!

Getting married isn't the problem. I just hoped that we'd go to court and sign the papers. I don't want a wedding reception (at least not until we move and settle down) and even when I say I don't want it, my fiancé and family are planning it. Not all my family lives near by, neither does his. I barely have friends, his friends live across the country. So it'll be pretty empty and not only that, me and my fiancé want different things for it.

Tell him about how you feel about all this, and suggest how you wish things went.

I did, and we both wanted a fall wedding but we're too late to plan than for this year and next year we'll be moving from Puerto Rico to California. And he wants us to get married now so I can recieve his benefits and he'll get paid more before he leaves. My whole family is planning a wedding I don't want.

Then be honest with him, tell him.. But at the same time make sure this is really what you want.. Good luck..
