Congrats man! Not to steal any thunder but I got engaged as well. Happened last week in Tasmania (Coles Bay). Lovely spot and a lovely lady. We'll be in Vegas the first weekend in November to seal the deal (no long engagements here). We're registered at TSL, Groove Merchant, Dusty Groove, Plan 9, Princeton Record Exchange and the Salvation Army. Raerer the better. Thanks.
Congrats, and as a man who's engagment is nearing one year I salute your going to vegas plan.

Oh yeah, congrats Nate!
Best advice I can give you: when planning the wedding, just leave it all up to her and what she likes EXCEPT for the DJing. This goes double ESPECIALLY if her mother is involved.

This man speaks the truth.
Well to debunk that theory, my wife-to-be has repeatedly requested a SUPER DOPE DJ of name and note to be our wedding DJ. Like seriously...

I would also like to debunk this wedding myth...my wife asked my opinion on EVERYTHING, because i most certainly had one. Watch out; if you find you care this much about music, you probably also have an opinion on flowers, food, glassware, place settings, etc.
Don't get it twisted...You are throwing the best party of your life for your best friends in the world to celebrate the singular love of a lifetime. Goddamn right every aspect should be perfect.
Don't be scurred off by the hate/reality check. My wife and I were together for some years before she shocked me to my JRoots and proposed to me (I proposed to her once, earlier on, but neither of us were really serious about it, and there was an obvious financial incentive offered if we were married at the time from a certain foundation). In the easiest decision of my life to date, i said yes. When the girl you're with is the bomb, you just WANT to be there with her for the rest of your life.
And as for the kids, they do change your life. There's no doubt about that. But they are so incredible that the tradeoff is a bargain in my opinion. I have had no greater feeling in my life than coming home after my daughter developed a routine that involved panting and chanting "dada" "dada" "dada" when she heard me coming up the stairs to our place, only to break into hilarious smiles and giggles and laughs when I came in the door. The high from that is better than sex, drugs, or rock n roll. Way better.
So nothing short of congratulations are in order on this momentous event. Laugh together. Live together. Love together. Stay together.

Let me debunk the debunkers although some great points were made.
Our wedding plans were HORRID. Especially since my mother in law was the one paying for it since she offered it when we she found out we were engaged. She didn't like ANYTHING we came up with saying "that's too much" and "I don't like that". We wanted a church wedding. Couldn't have that. We wanted our cake professionally done by a friend of ours who's a gourmet chef. That's too much (BTW, $300 for a gourmet wedding cake is NOT that much). We then wanted the wedding outdoors. Nope. It wasn't HER wedding, it was her daughters. It got to the point where we shelled out cash for a wedding chapel that we didn't have and just did it ourselves with MY parents help for that. MY parents were to the point where my dad just said "screw that, we'll take care of it, just get what you want" and of course that went over like a ton of bricks with her mom. Now granted, her dad helped out a lot. He paid for the catering and the reception hall amongst some other things. We tried to keep it reasonable pricewise, and it wasn't like her parents were struggling with money our anything. I mean, she changed my wife's wedding COLORS for crying out loud. Of all the things to change....
Anyways, we had to cut literally half our list of guests. People we wanted to be IN the wedding couldn't even COME. Our wedding was great, but just going through the hassle was ridiculous and a major bitchfest. We got over it though although I was asshurt for a little while over the whole experience. After the wedding was over, her parents and mine never spoke to each other again.
The best part of the honeymoon was my wife let me dig and I cleaned out most of Payson, Prescott, and Flagstaff Arizona. Came home with a trunk full of wax.
So all in all, whoever is shelling out the cheddar for the wedding has the biggest say in it IMO and if that's truly the case, then you may be in for it.
Best advice revised: Do NOT let the parental units get involved. PERIOD. It's YOUR day and when I say YOUR I mean both of you.

less money on laaars, more money at bed bath & beyond.
Ummmm! A little touchy about the gay comments, maybe you should let your girl know about that. Homophobic and a spoiled rich boy
This man speaks the truth.
If you read your post you used the words "gayer and gayer" first.
If by being spoiled you mean being independant sinc 18 and fully employed then you got me.
