getting married

[katie_1989]

I always told myself and my bf of 5 years that if i got pregnant we would get married. Im now 14 weeks and have completely changed my mind. We just bought a house and are preparing for the baby so thats already a lot of money. Ive always just wanted to go the courthouse but i do want a nice ring so its going to be a while until we can afford one. The first thing my dad asked when we told him was are we going to get married? & my mom is going to ask my bf if he wants to give me my grandmothers ring. I know they mean well but i feel mad at them! I told them we are going to get married but not before the baby comes. Anyway my question is -- did anyone get married bc they got pregnant and how did you make that decision?

Just married my boyfriend of 1 year two weeks ago! An it was because of the pregnancy, we had talked of marrying since week one even without a baby, We're both super happy about it :) good luck and don't feel pressured

My husband and I were just barely starting to date when we found out I was pregnant with our son. It definitely wasn't planned, and we were in no way ready to get married or have a baby.

We waited. We waited almost three years before we got married, and I'm so glad we did. You do what is right for you and your family. I don't think anyone should rush to get married because a baby is coming into the picture.

With my first son no (hell no) his family kept pushing but i knew it wouldn't last ... now 8 yrs later my fiance and I are expecting our first son together , and we are planing our wedding I told him a ring and court house would work, ( I found one at the pawn shop ) but eventually down the road I do want my actual wedding ... but as of right now we have tattoos on our ring fingers ( mine says I DO and his says DITTO )

I've been with my fiance for 3 years and we want to get married, but not just because I'm pregnant. We made the decision because we felt that everything we been through the past three years has made us stronger not just as individuals but also as a couple. We have known each other for 5 years as well.
