While there are no doubt many people out there who have spent a long time dreaming about their wedding day, one woman has taken pre-planning to the extreme.

The unnamed woman was so sure her partner was on the verge of proposing, she decided to send out RSVPs to her nearest and dearest – before she was actually engaged.

A friend of the eager bride-to-be was left a little confused by the whole debacle and decided to share the situation on a wedding shaming group on Facebook.

“Sometime after New Year’s Day she did a Facebook game that told her she’s getting married this year (on of those fake fortune games),” the woman shared in a post.

The friend said she could see the pair getting married one day and explained that she thought they were a great match and she loved hanging out with them.

“She messaged me on Instagram today to ‘rsvp’ for a special event on Zola, which is when I realised she’s really been planning her wedding,” the post continued.

“I’m really excited for her to get ready for this time in her life but I guess I’m confused as to what’s happening here?”

Alongside the post the woman shared a text message conversation she had with said friend, congratulating her on her engagement, only to be told he hadn’t actually proposed yet.

The odd conversation has left many Facebook users equally confused, with some musing whether or not the guy even “knows he’s getting married”.

“I could see this being one of those ‘surprise baby we are getting married today’ situations,” one person commented.

Some people backed the bride and said it was “completely normal and not shame-worthy”.

And while many agreed that planning a wedding before becoming engaged wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, some did think sending out the actually RSVPs was a little premature.

“Planning a wedding before an engagement isn’t a big deal, if both people are on board. But already asking guests to RSVP to an ‘event’ is the weird part here,” one person commented.

“We started planning our wedding about six months before we got engaged, not everyone takes a linear path,” another wrote.
