Re: honesty among friends

Thank you, Angel. :)

We are engaged but not technically engaged. As in--we decided in November that we want to get married, and have been working off of that presumption (finding a wedding date, beginning pre-marital counseling). Tom asked me to keep it under wraps so that he could do a more traditional surprise-with-ring and we could call everyone and squee and share joy then.

This worked...sort of...for two months, before I broke down and told Tom, "I HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE. THERE ARE ALL THESE BIG LIFE CHANGES AND FEARS I HAVE, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SHARE THEM IS CUTTING ME OFF FROM EVERYONE I LOVE." And Tom went, "Oh, duh, that makes sense."

So you will still get a squealy phone call when Tom proposes, with ring, but in the meantime, we know we are getting married, and I have this time to talk with my sisters less about wedding planning and more about fears and struggles and joys of the process of joining our lives together.

Make sense?

It totally makes sense... and it's very you-and-Tom, too.
