    So yesterday M and I were chatting and I said I should just propose and he said well why don't you.  And I said, M will you marry me.  And he didn't answer.  And then I said well you didn't answer so he said yes of course.  So still thinking he was kidding I asked him today were we engaged and he was like well yeah you asked didn't you.... and i was like well does this mean we can start planning? and he was like if you want to... but then we talked about rings etc and he was like well i cannot afford to get you one right now and i reminded him that i didn't care about it...

    so i am engaged i think?!

    Eeeee!  But crebre you can't leave it like that if you didn't even know you were proposing for real.  Maybe you can get him an awesome ring from etsy and propose a bit more romantically?  And maybe he can get you a nice ring for a couple hundred dollars and you can swing right into planning?

    That's wonderful though, that M is clearly ready to get married if a bit confused on engagements and how to do this.

    YES, YES, YES!!!
    If he doesn't get down on one knww it doesn't make you any less engaged.
    When SO and I decided to get engaged it was a very informal thing, I told him I wanted to marry him and he said "you can start telling people we're getting married". HAH! Cut to one year later I wanted a "real" proposal so he formally asked me and now we're picking out my ring!

    CONGRATULATIONS!! (I think, hehe) 

    Sounds to me like you're engaged...the ring isn't absolutely necessary. The most important part is that someone asks and the other person says yes! :-)

    I don't think we're engaged though?! I dunno.. But we did look for his engagement gift (a laptop). I think that I don't know.  I will confirm later on today... but it was a very us moment, I jumped into his lap and gave him a big kiss and he grinned but I dunno... (shrugging shoulders). I actually like a lot of rings that etsy has and he doesn't like any of them.  It was so cute and really an us type of conversation.  A really relaxed type of convo, because I know he's stressing about finances, being laid off and dealing with the family law attys etc. so I was like babe I don't need a ring to be your wife this is so silly. I should just propose since you seem to think I need all of these "things". i mean i found an eternity band that i forgot i had (it was a christmas gift from my play sister years ago) i was like i could just wear it on my finger i like to stack it anyway. (it's currently stacked on my right hand)... i feel sooo much more relaxed if that makes sense. i still don't care about the ring thing, i love the stackable idea because i have a "thing" for jewelry and will probably constantly be changing everything out anyway....

    so i will keep the waiting list until it's official...

    I think Congrats! are in order....but since you ended your post title with "I think," is there something that would make you remove those words?

    @ej: i woke him up and he's grinning saying go back to your wedding board and chat with them i'm sleeping. (he's a constant tease hence the reason i "think" i'm engaged) but hell he gave me the okay to contact vendors....

    ZOMG!  How exciting!  What an awesome potential proposal story!  I agree, you totally don't need a ring - my FH proposed with a ring shaped piece of coral that we found the week before on the beach. 

    You should totally run out & get an inexpensive ring for him and slip it on his finger while he's asleep!

    I totally understand. This happened to one of my bridesmaids sisters.  She started actively planning her wedding before she got the ring.  Now they are married with 2 kids and a third on the way.

    I think that if you start actively planning, like taking him to see venues etc, you will know for sure.  I hope its true though!!  Congratulations if that is the case :)

    @rosiegirl: lmao that is so true, isn't it?! lol!!! i am in the strangest position ever right now, but i'm excited that he knows the ring is not important, i just want to spend the rest of my life with him.

    i could wear a piece of plastic or a rubberband for all i care, as a matter o fact, i think i'll get one to slip on his finger to let him know it's official and he's taken :D. i think i may start crying right now. thinking about it makes me want to cry happy tears. i'm really crazy lol!!!

    Congrats!!!

    One of my best friends was like that with her husband. They had been together for over 5 years, they aren't materialistic at all and just decided to get married. They were "engaged" for about two weeks. They just bought really nice wedding bands (instead of a diamond, she doesn't wear ANY jewelry) and they got married on a Friday at City Hall because it was convenient for them. I love it! \

    I would just go buy wedding bands together if you don't want to make the engagement focused on the ring. My FI is unemployed too, and he held off proposing for almost a year, even though he had the money saved up before he lost his job. Being unemployed does funny things to a man's ego, especially when the woman is still working.

    Awesome for you!

    he gave you the okay to contact vendors!? Then what are you waiting for, of course it's real!! Isn't that what you've been waiting for the ring to do??? Or the engagement or whatever? It sounds official to me, Crebre!

    well last week we sort of decided on december 30th and the theme and i shot a casual email to a venue (i was just asking about a possible date) and it wasn't specifically about our date so to speak it was just hey btw how much is this (i was working with her on a client's event) and she told me and i was like hey this is a great price and wouldn't this be a great date...

    Aww...it sounds like you are so Congrats!!  Do you have any rings already that you love or any special jewelry that he's given to you in the past?  Maybe, since he can't afford a ring and you said it's not that important to you, he can officially propose with something he's already given you?  Who says that an engagement has to be signified with a ring?  

    Yay for you tho!
