My FI, who is in the Marines, just told me that his deployment is shipping out early that means either 1. having our engagment party without him or 2. not having one at all Which do you ladies think would be worse. I am so sad.
Thats what I want but family is pushing to keep it going, he says we should go ahead with it, maybe just have a party and not make it an engagement party, I dunno, I feel cheated b/c I am the only one of my friends/family who isn't having one and the darn Marines always mess up our plans, lol, I guess I am just whinning prolly more cause I am sad he is leaving. Thanks for listening to my complaints
Why don't you just have something small before he leaves. Do you have enough time to plan something? Sorry to hear that, I went through this for 6 years and of course the worst one being his 8-month deployment to Iraq. (But you know all about that!!!!) anyways, honestly just enjoy your time before he leaves. I am sure both families will understand if you two just don't feel up to any party or if there is simply no time!!!!!
BTW, you have FM

Re: Bad Day
Do a small something before he leaves and plan a welcome home party when he gets back.

Re: Bad Day
I don't think an e-party is necessary...we didn't have one

I agree, if this is possible for you. Can you just postpone the e-party until he comes home?
Hugs to you. Sorry to hear about this.

Re: Bad Day
all I can say is my thoughts are with you, and my prayers are with your FI so that he comes home safely! The e-party is secondary .. just be safe and enjoy these days with him for now!!

Re: Bad Day
How long will your FH be away for? I agree witht he dieas of a little going away party for him..intimate and small, and a nice big welcome home/engagement party....
Hugs and best wishes on his safe mission and return! Remember, we are all here for you while he is away...
Thanks everyone!!! There really isn't time before he leaves because it takes time for leave papers to go through so that he can get home, plus I just wanted it small and in the backyard, can't afford to have a hall right now. Maybe we will just have our parents go out to dinner with us before he goes, by the time he gets back we will be engaged almost a year and a half already and I feel it will be too late to have one then. I agree that they aren't necessary but it was supposed to be a way for our families to meet and send him off together. I am over it as long as I get him home safely, I'll be just fine. Like I said I'm more sad that he is leaving so soon.
