Hi Ali,

Both mine and my DP's family are very religious and traditional and I know my DP feels pressure to propose (I know he has already gotten the ring, just waiting for that special moment!). I am also hearing those comments a lot My mum was married at 18 and pregnant at 19 and now I feel like my family expects me to do the same because I am pregnant. I don't want to rush anything. I am happy and committed and have been for the past 3 years and my DP is my first and only love so I think that is special enough! I agree with the other comments: just give them some smart remarks and they will back off!

Bubs will be taking DP's surname and so will I when the "big" day comes along

All the best and don't rush anything, enjoy and relax!
