ohhmyandrea Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Heres the background. My boyfriend and I met about half a year ago at a celebration after graduation. We spent the entire summer attached to eachother. We became eachothers bestfriends. Then he went off to school in another state. We've been apart for a while. He visited this weekend and proposed to me, out of the blue. He'd talked about proposing but not until we'd been together longer. After I eagerly accepted the proposition, we began talking about things. We wont start concrete wedding plans for a while as we're planning on a fall-winter wedding sometime in 09. Him being in college, itll be tricky to have the wedding that Ive imagined, as I would like it to be in the fall time. Is there any way that he can get excused from classes because of a weddding?

2sure Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 No. No way. To be honest, they would laugh in his face. The best you can do is plan it for a long weekend - there are several federal holidays in the fall giving you a monday or friday off. Maybe he can squeeze in one more day, but it wouldnt be excused.

serialgf Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 i don't think they would necessarily laugh at him. it depends on the university. are you going to live together after you get married? do you live together now? what year is he in college? how old are you and how old is he? did he give you an engagement ring?

Ronni_W Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 In college, isn't it just a matter of not showing up? In any event, whether he gets "permission" or not, he will still be responsible for (have the burden of) doing all the work to "catch up". How many classes are you estimating he will need to miss, in order for you to have the wedding that you've imagined? More importantly, is HE okay with the idea of missing the amount of classes that you have in mind he'll need to miss? Link to post Share on other sites
Author ohhmyandrea Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 i don't think they would necessarily laugh at him. it depends on the university. are you going to live together after you get married? do you live together now? what year is he in college? how old are you and how old is he? did he give you an engagement ring? We're in a long distance relationship. He lives in Alabama and I live in Florida. Im planning on moving up there in December. But with roommates. I dont want to live with him until we're married. Hes a freshman in college at a private christian school, Samford University. Im eighteen and he's nineteen. And I've heard the "youre way too young to get married" talk. I come from a family where divorce isnt an option. As does he. We don't even factor that in as a "if it doesnt work" thing. In a relationship, you work through every hard thing and thank God when you come out of it alive. He flew down this weekend for a fall break. He wasnt planning on proposing until December but felt that this weekend was "the time". He went back up for school and will be back in a month. When he'll have the engagement ring. But thank you for the advice so far. Planning it around a break seems more likely. Link to post Share on other sites
