I just realized something. I did propose to him already. One night before going to sleep I said "marry me" and he said "yes, I'll marry you". Then this week I said "OK what if we got married on so and so date, does that work for you?" And he said "yes, that's a good idea."
So I guess under normal rules, we are engaged minus a ring.
For me a ring and proposal do not constitute being engaged.
Do you consider yourself engaged? Who gives a flip if other people think you need a ring. A ring is not a sign of commitment. It can be if you want it, but plenty of people get engaged and stay happily married without some silly ring.

You're not engaged until he gets down on one knee, asks and gets a yes from you, then slips the engagement ring on your finger. But that's just my old fashioned opinion.
I set a date with my dentist for a cleaning, but I have pledged nothing to him. I might even cancel the appt. So where/when was the pledge made and accepted? Maybe I missed that post.
Just like anyone (with a formal "on one knee" proposal and a ring) can cancel a wedding at anytime.
Maybe I will ask my So to marry me with one of those little taco bell will you marry me packets.....
wahahahahaha
I just spit my juice out laughing on that one, but that sounds like something one of us would do also. If I'm not mistaken you can also customize M&M's to say it also.
He was however adamant about no mangagement rings. That's drawing the line for him.

Yea, I can present the pack and then if he says yes, I can say, "Ok, now we have to go shopping!" lol
No, the definition of "engaged" is "pledged to be married; betrothed: an engaged couple. "
Nothing dictates anything about a ring.
Oh, and the definition of "proposal" is "the act of offering or suggesting something for acceptance, adoption, or performance" or " an offer or suggestion of marriage".
The sheer fact that the two of you set a date means there was a proposal.
"Honey, what do you say we get married on July 10th?"

Well, then yes, it sounds like you're engaged!
So, who's the guy--I thought I caught something about C-D being responsible for this? And when is the date? Huh, HUH? You know, so we can have a party on the chat thread for you.
