It's the one time that the ball is in his court, and it's a great feeling to know that he is ready, and that you didn't have <em>too</em> much persuasion in it (to make him do it to shut you up)! happy waiting - the anticipation is a little overwhelming but it is worth the wait!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/transparent-hints-what-have-you-done#post-454465 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:27:20 +0000 kericita 454465@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>By now he's seen so many rings, it doesn't matter.&nbsp; He should be receiving a DeBeers brochure in the mail, but I haven't heard him mention if he got it or not.&nbsp; Otherwise I'm keeping quiet for now! :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/transparent-hints-what-have-you-done#post-454436 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:15:28 +0000 tea 454436@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@hoyalawya, bbb is bankrupt?! hmm. we did browse there for a ring and even though it wasn't the best experience [the service wasn't stellar] i'm not above overlooking that for a sale. lol. i wonder if i should tell the boy about that!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/transparent-hints-what-have-you-done#post-453393 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:36:59 +0000 Jaxx317 453393@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i have given up hinting... i've decided to put it allll out on the table from now on. after i get my ring size and hopefully get to try on a few things next week, i'll probably just email him my size and some links of what i like. i want to be surprised, and plus at the moment, i can't make up my mind what i REALLY want, so i'll give him 3 or 4 options he can choose from so it'll be win/win for both of us :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/transparent-hints-what-have-you-done#post-452890 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:48:37 +0000 surkim 452890@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>You know, if I'd set out for it to be a hint, then it would be ridiculously transparent, but I was not aware of it until BF pointed it out, and I thought I'd left WB or something open on my computer.</p> <p>There's a section in the Sunday paper with an article titled "Unconventional Wedding". &nbsp;I think it's about some people who got married on Hallowe'en. &nbsp;I started reading it, and it didn't really hold my attention. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I went to get the front section of the paper, leaving this article face up in the middle of the paper-stack. &nbsp;Later, BF comes in and asks "Unconventional wedding? &nbsp;what's that about?"</p> <p>So of course I mini-panic, looking around to see what in the world he is looking at. &nbsp;"Oh I think some people got hitched on Hallowe'en? &nbsp;That guy is wearing a top hat... I don't know." &nbsp;</p> <p>I realize I have a habit of entering contests to win things, and when they ask when you're getting married, I'll put in some odd date, far enough in the future that it's plausible. &nbsp;I'm waiting for the "congratulations on your upcoming wedding!" letters to start coming in the mail. &gt;.&lt;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/transparent-hints-what-have-you-done#post-452834 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:36:50 +0000 crebre80 452834@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i agree with knapper~ i have shown m like 100s of rings lol they all have the same general look but that's it. he can choose any of them and i'd be happy lol.. i think he knows my style and i would be happy with his choice as long as it isn't too incredibly masculine.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/transparent-hints-what-have-you-done#post-452112 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:33:50 +0000 knapper08 452112@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>To all you ladies that are dropping hits about the EXACT ring you want, just remember that he very well could have your ring already....don't hurt his feelings! My hubby bought my ring in November and didn't propose until the following February, and I continued dropping hints throughout the entire time. Luckily my expectations were sparkly, not too big, and white gold....he hit the nail on the head, but kept teasing "What if they only have yellow gold?" (and I said he would need to go to a different store!)... but I can see how you could set yourself up for a disaster by getting too picky! be careful ;-)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/transparent-hints-what-have-you-done#post-452085 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:26:47 +0000 FutureBarton 452085@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I took FH into jewelry stores this weekend and "educated" him on rings I'm the only girl he's ever introduced to his parents so he knows nothing past dating so i had to tell him everything about rings and he said he knows what he wants to get me so he's shopping</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/transparent-hints-what-have-you-done#post-451997 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:48:45 +0000 artbee 451997@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i used to watch all the wedding shows with my fi, before we got engaged, and made all sorts of comments about how i wanted MY wedding to be. i was too embarrassed to say OUR wedding! but it opened the floor to talk about our wedding, he already knew exactly what i wanted which made life easier.</p>
