Not yet engaged...but soon

My boyfriend and I are currently planning our wedding. No, we're not engaged...yet. Nor do I have a ring on my finger. But, he has this "great idea" about our engagement, so I'm being as patient as a bride-to-be can be.
We haven't let our non-engagement stand in the way of our wedding planning, though. We plan to marry in May or June of next year. We'd like to either be married in a farm, or in a loft space in NYC or Brooklyn. We both understand how different those ideas are, but we both have two different sides of us that we'd like to nurture - our earthy, nature side, and our city, party side.
I have found a wedding gown that I am in love with, and I'm looking forward to ordering it to try it on! I have decided that I want my bouquet to be comprised of spider mums, my late grandmother's favorite flower.
Also, we have picked who we want in our wedding party. We have a caterer in mind, just in case the venue we pick doesn't have catering. Furthermore, we have ideas for wedding bands - both the rings, and the music! My boyfriend, Brian, and I love funk music, so we're planning on having a funk band at our wedding. We also have picked our funky wedding song - Darling, Darling, Darling by The Meters, a New Orleans funk band.
Although we can't book anything yet (it's bad luck!), we have our hypothetical wedding completely planned! We're so excited to become a family! Now, I just have to be patient....
