Um, I like to think I'll be ok with it since I know it's not going to happen, but the truth is, I will be very sad. Silly, I know.
I'll be okay with it, I think. I know it won't happen so I'm not terribly concerned about it. Most of my friends are either engaged already or not even close, so it won't be in my face all the time.
There's nothing particulary about the holiday season that would make me want to get engaged, i just want to do it ASAP. LOL
This will be my 2nd ringless Christmas, so it won't be so bad as I imagine it to be, but I'll be glad when it's over!
Hmmm any other year it would be incredibly difficult... this year i'm okay with it, i know it is probably my last holiday season where it doesn't happen... i am actually extremely excited about christmas!! my sister will invite her guy friend home and M will be there!! it's the first guy ever to come home. my sister is also inviting her guy friend home for thanksgiving so we'll see what he's going to say (how friggin' exciting is this?!)
I feel sad for everyone who's so anxious, but honestly? I'm feeling great about it. I'm not in any rush - I know we'll have our whole lives to be married, and right now I'm just loving being where I am, getting to love J and be loved by him is privilege enough!
right now: AWFUL!!! long story i won't get into, but the thought of having to spend the holidays around several people i know who recently got engaged or will be getting married makes me want to vommit. i know this is totally selfish of me, but my still-naked ring finger is causing me serious agita again :(
Ok I guess! i kinda have to be because unless he pulls something in front of my family on christmas, the proposal wont be happening till next year! Ill deal with it though, It will probably be my last Christmas as a single gal! ahhhhhhhhhh
Umm I'd be crushed. I think it'll happen soon and I know he has a ring but I have thought it was coming soon and well it never did. Everytime this has happend I feel like I get pulled into a black hole of depression and it gets worse every year. At first you would like it to happen but you realize it may not and hey your not in a rush anyways right. Well then every moment you "think" it might happen and it doesn't gets a little worse. If you are like me you will eventually (and this is if you've been dating for a LONG time) hit rock bottom and you know theres only up now.
Not at all looking forward to Thursday. SO's little sister had a baby and got engaged this year- SO and I have been together for over 3 years and no ring! I am really not looking forward to celebrating their new family – while I am still waiting……………………………..I know that sounds horrible. =(
I'm a little worried. :( He made a joke about waiting until APRIL to give me the ring and I hit him over the head. I think it'll be January when I get it... just a sneaking suspicion.
I just have to ask, because it is not a common name..............
lilyfaith - is Faith your real name??
Boston_Girl - nope! I have a horse, and I named her A Little Faith, Lily for her barn name. When I went to register alittlefaith was taken so I thought lilyfaith sounded cute too.
i'm so with you boston girl! my BF's best friend just got engaged and they're really close, so i will be forced to hang out with them and hear all about their extravagant wedding plans, even talking about it now makes me want to vommit. i know, it's horrible. but i can't help it! we'll get through it somehow - i'm just hoping it doesn't turn me into an alcoholic in the process!
it'll be okay since I'm not expecting it to happen. Now next year is a completely different thing. I'll be really anxious by november next year.
Probably not as bad as there's no thanksgiving, so it's one less holiday to get through. I have an inkling he may do it at christmas as it will be the first one we will be physically together in the same place on that day since we got together. I don't know what he's up to, he's not giving anything away! I'm kinda expecting it by the time the year is through, if not I'll be a bit upset but deal with it.
I will be pretty sad only because I reeallly want to start planning a fall wedding for us. I think I could pull it off in 10 months, but probably not much less than that... so here's hoping for a blingy holiday for all of us!
Abbee! I'm pulling it off in 5 months! No sweat. Just be really, really prepared and then once you get engaged, you can just throw it all together!
Honestly I would be devastated if this holiday turned out to be "ring-free" since we talk about the proposal/ring several times a day and Mr.Snake has said fairly blatently that we will be engaged before Christmas this year--- if it turns out something fell flat that made it not happen, I'd be crushed.
Thursday might be a little strange.
My mother is going to have Thanksgiving with the SO and I along with his family. Both sets of parents are privey about the fact that we are "engaged to be engaged" and have found the e-ring. His mother will probably bring it up at the dinner table and I just dont know what I'll do! I mean yeah, we all know about it but it wasn't the plan! My mother isn't really the excitable type (she loves my SO but shes not really all about marriage in general-- she's been single herself for several years, never remarried after she and my dad split 15 or so years ago) whereas his mother is ready for us to start planning YESTERDAY. hmm.. will be interesting!
i will survive, but i will be seriously disappointed. we have picked out the ring, but it had to be special ordered. he won't even give me a hint on how long it will take for it to come in...it's driving me crazy!
i'm feeling fine. i know we're a bit aways from an egagement so i don't tend to stress off the holidays. we don't typically spend them together anyway so there's no pressure!
This will be our 3rd holiday season together, and the first that I will be thinking about a ring. If it doesn't happen, I won't be too disappointed. But if we go through it again next year, I will definitely be not so happy.
I'm waiting for him to get a job in my city. I think he will propose as soon as he gets a job, but considering he's already been job searching for a year I have no idea when that will happen. Trying to be patient!
I am feeling okay- I am really working on trying to have a different attitude toward the whole thing- Honestly I would be totally bummed if it didnt happen by the new year! I think its hard too because our friends and family say that it will happen when we leave for Mexico New Years! I dont know ladies!!!??
