Went ring shopping for the 1st time today!!!

I hope you have better luck than me. My boyfriend and I picked out my ring in July of last year... so sad.

Yay! How fun that you guys went shopping!!

 

My DH and I looked a couple places and he eventually went to get the ring on his own. He had sort of combined a couple different ideas I had and it turned out perfect!

 

I think it's definitely a good idea for him to know for sure what styles you like. . .and it's just fun to look at rings!! :-)

He ended up telling me because he said he was under so much stress because he knew I was wondering about the engagement and he felt bad because he already has the ring but he's just waiting until he knows he's ready. I told him no worries, I really want him to feel like it's on his terms but how exciting to know that he already has THE RING!!! He even bought our wedding rings that day. He showed me his when he told me all of this.

It's nice to know that's it's all "for real" and the day is in the near future. ::

Oh that's awesome! I'm so happy for you!

How exciting! And I definitely think you are doing the right thing by giving him space to do things on his own terms. Guys tend to buckle under pressure. I bet if you totally let him off the hook (no bugging or nagging...I know it's hard!), you'll have that ring on your finger real soon!

[CourtneyV]

Woohoo!! Doesn't it make you giddy just thinking about it? It's silly because the smallest wedding related decisions make me really giddy now lol... not that this is small. Ok, I'm just digging myself a hole! I'm just going to be a jerk to you in every one of your threads today, ok?!

 

So, any idea as to when it might happen? (it = proposal!)
