I'm impatient for 2 reasons. All of our families and friends KNOW that he has the ring so everyone keeps asking me if he has proposed yet. We are wanting to get married in 5 months and have a big wedding, which requires much planning. My parents are not willing to put down any deposits to secure the reception site, ceremony site, photographer/videography, flowers, cake, ect until we are officially engaged.
I'm sure my boyfriend is trying to come up with some grand proposal, but he has never been speedy about doing anything. Also, his work requires him to work most weekends, so we don't always get a weekend or even a weekend evening to spend together. I need him to hurry up and propose! Is there a nice way that I can tell him to hurry up and ask me?

My advice is to give hime some slack before you start figuring out how to change his plans.
Anyway, the moral of my story is...when the right moment comes, it comes. I planned my wedding in 3 months, because of my parents and other things. It wasn't the biggest thing in the world, just close family and friends, but in my opinion that's more romantic and special because this will be the most special day of your life. Why should your dad's cousins friend be on the guest list to share in your special moment right? :) If you stop talking about it I bet it will happen a lot faster. Plus, you are lucky, most guys don't even go ring shopping, get a ring, or talk about the future with the women that want to marry them so badly. You know it's going to happen, so sit back and wait for fireworks! Enjoy!

Engagement is a status, marriage is an institution......and it seems that she's all fired up and focused on getting a status...to enter into an institution.
Status usually doesn't have work, effort, sacrifice, and requirement attached to it - the institution does.
She just sounds more interested in being the princess bride...than the 8-5 wife.
and that means marriage is going to be a downer....because once all the planning is done, the ceremony is past, she's been the star of a show...she's going to have to do all the work, with nobody giving her applause and kudos for doing it.
