When a girl gets engaged, one of the first things she thinks about is her wedding dress.

Well, not all girls, apparently. Jessica Simpson, who got engaged last year to fiancé Eric Johnson, has not gone wedding dress shopping yet! Say what?!

In fact, she said in her Lucky magazine interview that by the time the December issue comes out (which she’ll be the cover girl for), they still wouldn’t have tied the knot. Pretty funny considering nearly EVERYONE thought the couple would get married right away.

“We’re just enjoying being engaged right now, and that’s honest,” Simpson said.

She’s also expecting their first child and embracing her beautiful body as it changes. So maybe she’ll hold off on the wedding dress until after the baby? Regardless, I love how she’s being an inspiration by not obsessing over being stick thin.

But there’s something to be said about enjoying just being engaged, and I think Simpson makes a valid point. How many brides-to-be rush through their engagement, making themselves miserable with over-stressing about wedding planning? I know I’ve been guilty.

What do you think: How should one “enjoy” their time being engaged?
