Weddingbee boards

A long time ago I mentioned to SO how a friend of mine got engaged and how someone was chiding her for her nails being a mess when she was showing off her ring. So, he is aware that there is an issue with nails and rings...

This week he has inquired about my nails THREE times. Asking me if I am getting my nails done Friday (as I have done biweekly for the past 4 months or so), asking me what color I am going to get. Too funny! I'm pretty sure he is planning something for Friday evening. We have dinner reservations (that I made) at a really nice restaurant for which we have a gift certificate.

I'm really excited. I'm a little bummed that I'm expecting it, but at this point I just want him to ask already. We'll see....

omg that's ridiculously funny! I like how guys never notice these things on their own and have to be told! rings and nails! crazy!

I'm  crossing my fingers for you!!!

Thank God for WeddingBee, bc although I have always known in the back of my mind to make sure my nails look good when I get the ring, I never actually thought to plan ahead.  Who knows when he is going to do it!? I need to get to a salon, pronto! (and maybe consistently for a few months...)

Hahaha! I knew you guys would understand. I started getting gel nails back in May. On Monday one of them broke and I had just had enough so I told SO that I was going to take them all off and that my nails would be icky for a while. He was so concerned. He offered to take me to the nail salon and then he would go home and make dinner. I explained to him that I don't like being "that girl" who breaks a nail and has to run to the salon. I just filed it down and went ahead with my life. But it was really cute how supportive he was being.

But since then he has asked me "How long will your nails be icky?" "Are you going to get your nails done on Friday?" "What color are you getting?" Definitely making me suspicious.

The best was when he asked me about color I asked him "what color *should* I get?" and knowing that OPI has all of these funny names, he made one up. He's such a cutie.

lol I suppose I'll be the newly engaged girl sitting in the salon the day after he proposes!! I can't seem to keep polish on my nails for long, but I love acrylics. They're so expensive where I live though.

I've been slimming down and toning up too just in case...

PS I'm addicted to French pedis and manis! I think they'll look the best with a ring...

This thread is the BEST! I actually got my nails done THE DAY BEFORE my fiance proposed.  I think we just know it!!! :) I am excited to hear what happens this weekend!!!

Well, you can all stop thinking good engagement thoughts for me...for now, at least.

Long story short, I've been in the process of changing careers for a while. I've been an attorney for 8 years and I want to become a special agent.

After 14 months of working on this, three weeks ago I was told that my dream job was finally coming through. They told me that it was a done deal and that I should notify my supervisor that I'd be transferring divisions (within my Agency). I was on top of the world!

Well, last night I got an email saying that because of a bureaucratic glitch, they actually cannot transfer me and they are "sorry it didn't work out." I've already given my notice. Needless to say, BF and I are very sad and we didn't get much sleep last night. We haven't decided whether to keep our dinner plans for tonight or not.

After he left this morning, I checked and the ring is still there. Don't judge...you would have done it, too ;) And yes, ladies, I know exactly where he put the stinkin' ring 7 months ago. So, if we was planning to do it tonight, he probably changed his mind given our current state.

As for the job, it will all work out okay. I really believe that most things happen for a reason and that everything will work out one way or another.

The good news is that now whatever he does, whenever he does it, will be a surprise. I'm still going to get my nails done during my lunch break.

Thanks for all of your support.
