I don't know about a holiday one, but definitely by the end of January. We will finish picking out our ring tomorrow and then we have to wait for it to come in and for him to decide how/when to do it. So I'd say a post-holiday proposal is coming my way :)
I hope that you see bling in the near future, as well!! Good luck! Let us know!!
Well, I thought I was sure. I thought it would be a christmas proposal, but then my SO spilled the beans that he's having a couple of upgrades done to my ring and that he's dropping it off thursday (yesterday) and I made some comment asking how long the upgrades would take and he said he didn't know. I kind of let my baffled disappointment show and was like "oh so it could take until january" and he said "well i dont think that long" and i said "but you don't know" and he said "no, i dont" and then got all sad and mopey. When I asked what was wrong he spilled beans again and said "well i was planning on proposing before christmas but I guess I didn't think about the upgrades possibly taking a long time and now I'm sad."
so basically I kind of ruined it. So I said "oh, you never know, it might not take long at all, it might only take a day or so, it'll be ok, i'm sorry for stressing you out. Just ask how long it will take when you bring it in."
So I said "how long did they say it would take?" and he said "I'm not telling you." So it's a huge guessing game at this point. If it takes a couple days I might get a christmas proposal, if it takes weeks then maybe an anniversary one (feb. 4th)...or, he might not base it on how long it takes at all-- he may want to change his plans entirely to reinstate the element of surprise? Either way, DRIVING ME INSANE!
So basically the ring we bought is from an estate sale. It has nice accent diamonds for the halo, but the diamonds on the split shank sides are SI-1, SI-2, and I-1's. No big deal, but he wanted to have all the SI's and I's replaced with VS1's. He ordered the diamonds and they were to arrive yesterday-- he dropped off the ring yesterday-- anyone know how long it takes a jewelry store to replace diamonds in a ring around the holidays? We talkin' a day or two? Or weeks? (edit: im not sure i really want anyone to answer this if they really know)
I hope you get your proposal! I'm hoping for a christmas proposal still.
I'm not getting proposed to this holiday season, but I know that my SO will be buying the setting we chose the week after Christmas and will probably be having our stone set early January!!
I've been led to believe that a holiday proposal is coming for me - My bf *finally* talked to my parents over Thanksgiving. My dad saw how much the waiting was killing me and gave me a heads up that it should be coming before the end of the year.
I know my mom took me out to sneakily get me sized (this was about a week and a half ago) and the ring (his grandmothers) is in his hometown where we will be celebrating Christmas. I don't know how long it would take to get something sized...and if he really is planning something, he is doing a massively good job at hiding it. I've noticed nothing whatsoever out of the ordinary or suspicious. He's said he wants to really surprise me - I have no idea what to expect, but I am trying hard not to get my hopes up too much. It's still pretty exciting though!
Knowing he's talked to my parents, and the ring is being sized is enough for me - at least I know things are moving in the right direction.
I am! or at least I think I am. Everything is checked off - he has the ring (since august :( ), he talked to my dad, and talked to his mom. I think he's just waiting for our annual hockey game on thursday - it was our first date ;)
good luck ladies!
Well, I'm hoping so! He asked my momma and they had a wonderful conversation that he won't tell me anything about.
We have gone ring shopping and picked out "the one" a couple weeks ago, so we'll see! I'm betting New Years Eve will be it for me!
He's told me that I shouldn't expect it this year, but I'm hoping he's just trying to throw me off the scent. I know it's coming soon, at the very least. It would definitely make sense. He's told me that he'll probably propose on a special day... but that's not especially helpful because we have several upcoming special days: Christmas, the eight-year-anniversary of our first official meeting (Dec. 26), New Year's, Valentine's Day, our first dating anniversary (and we don't actually have an anniversary of the second time we started dating, since it just kind of happened), the renaissance festival (every weekend of April and May)...
I'm thinking sometime in the next month is very likely for me! Isn't it kind of weird to think that you're actually at this point? Like I've spent my whole life with marriage seeming so far off, and if everything goes according to plan, it will be here before I know it!
I was proposed to on New Year's Day last year....it coincided with a trip I was making to visit the fiancee, He proposed in negative degree weather outside, i was freezing!! lol
Maybe. Maybe Not. He's very good at keeping me in the dark, either way!
new update!
So last night, my friends were all pressuring him which I think kind of upset him a bit. But in the car on the way home I told him not to worry about it, and just do whatever he wants and not let others influence him. But I did mention not in a mean way, but just a chit-chatty way that it was torture to have the ring in the house and know where it is for two months now and not have it. He said he didn't realize it was like that, and that he thought the torture would have ended once I knew there was a ring. Anyway, I don't know if I should have said it, but this is what I said ..."we have a lot of special occassions coming up, and I don't know whether you're planning on it or not, but if you aren't, which is fine, I want you to tell me. If it's more than a month out, I want you to tell me so that I'm not just disappointed after every holiday/special event." I said this because if it really is more than a month out, I really don't want to ruin christmas/new years/our anniversary with being all emotional everytime it doesn't happen. If it's more than a month out, I'm ok with that, but I want to know so that I can enjoy the holidays to their fullest. What do you all think of this?
Anyway, his response was "it's less than a month"
so that was exciting, but then this morning his grandpa had a heart attack and we've spent the day today in the hospital. So it looks like this event could push off a proposal but I'm totally ok with that-- family and health come first always. I'm really hoping his grandpa is ok, otherwise this will be a really really sad holiday season :(
@snobunny: LSKAJHJLKASH!!! timeframe! huzzah!!!
I hope his grandpa is okay too! i'll tell you this, FH's grandpa went into the hospital a few weeks before he was planning on proposing. he was doing really bad and was in and out of conscious. FH went to visit him, leaned over and told him he was going to propose to me and his grandpa suddenly came to and told him how happy that made him to know and said "good boy, i told you to put a ring on that girl's finger!" (tears!!!). he proposed soon after. unfortunately his grandpa didn't make it, but at least he got to know before he died that his grandson was going to get married. :'[
Well, my SO has the ring (we picked it out together), and he talked to my dad at Thanksgiving. We have been talking about it forever, but the anticipation is killing me! i am keeping my fingers crossed for a Christmas, New Years or Birthday (early Jan) proposal
Me? Probably not..but I'm pretty darn sure my friend is! Her long time boyfriend is going into the airforce so I'm pretty sure he's going to seal the deal. I'm so excited for her and only like 2 percent jealous haha ;)
oh man! that's a great story!! I was kind of thinking the same thing but I wont say it...I was thinking "even though some might think his grandpa not doing well is poor timing, it might be good timing to be able to share that with his grandpa during (what is highly likely) his last christmas." But that's up to him to decide of course.
Thanks for sharing that story!
haha weill I did jinx myself bc I don't think one is coming now. He prob won't even get the ring until after Xmas and a NYE proposal is pretty cliche...don't know how long he will wait.
He was planning on proposing before Christmas, but I had a very tragic and horrific death of someone extremely close to me in my family last weekend so we decided that now is not the best time to be worrying about getting engaged. Our anniversary is in February, but we're going to play it by ear and see how it feels at that time.
Congrats to all you ladies getting engaged at this joyous time of year.
Mine initally made some hints about something likely to happen during our trip to Japan end-year. It would make sense since if we bring the ring overseas within one month of buying it, its treated as duty-free and won't get taxed on it.
Furthermore, I was looking at budget accomodation and he kept mentioning don't worry about value-for-money, let's find a private beach villa. That can only mean he has something in the works...fingers crossed! :) :) :)
I don't expect a holiday proposal at all. My SO already said that he wants to do it on a day when nothing else is going on.

hooray!
I don't want to get my hopes up or jinx myself or anyone else...but who has a REALLY good feeling a holiday porposal might be in store?
I am getting the feeling that it is very possible b/c my SO has really amped up looking at rings the last week or two. He brings up going to a jewelery store every other day and is really antsy about me picking something asap. Why the rush...hmmm :)
Which is making ME really antsy and excited! I don't want to get too excited but I feel really jumpy and am just dying to tell someone before I burst!
Anyone else? :)
