    Hey everybody!

    The BF and I have been dating since February, and talking about marriage since July. Our plan has been: promise rings in Feb 2010, engaged fall 2010, married fall 2011. Well just a couple nights ago we started talking about the promise rings. We both came to the realization that it was silly to do them when we were planning on getting engaged shortly after. He then suggested that we get engaged sooner! So he said we will be getting engaged next spring!! Needless to say, I was ecstatic about the moving up of the date Smile. So I've been looking at rings online (and of course showing them to him). And he's promised that in december/january we are going to start looking at rings at the store together! I've also been looking at all sorts of wedding and engagement websites online. I was beginning to think I was looking just a little too early when I stumbled upon this website and saw all of the people who are in "waiting" just like me! I am so excited to be a part of this community! I'm newly in waiting so I'm sure I'll be needing support!! Thanks to all of you for being here and making this such a great site!!

    Hi Britt!! I am another Britt! You're going to love this site, it's awesome and amazing! You're actually a lot further ahead than I am because we haven't decided on wedding date, engagement date, etc.  Welcome to the HIVE! If you want to vent and dream and be excited, we will be there to support you when you're down and congratulate you when you've graduated from waiting and go to the bee to be.

    Welcome - I recommend checking out Blue Nile after you settle on a setting.  I've created my dream ring(s) there to see pricing!

    Hi! I'm new and waiting too. I think you're going to get your ring before me, but we have a timeline too, so that helps.
    We'll grow up as bees together ;)
