Weddingbee boards

I've been kind of MIA on the waiting board, but still lurking on other boards. Anyway, I have an interesting update and I wanted to share 'cause only other waiting girls understand.

My SO and I were talking over the weekend about rings. He went on to say that he would never let me help him pick a ring because "it defeats the purpose" and how that is the guy's domain. I was also able to interject that I would never want a super expensive ring (unless we're filthy rich, of course) and that I would be happy with something from Craig's List.

I felt really positive about this conversation because for the past year I have been wanting to tell him that I don't expect an expensive ring, but everytime I've tried the conversation didn't go how I wanted to. But, now he knows. He also said that if he could afford it, if he were ever going to propose to someone he would want to get a custom made ring and so on. It was very cute.

We also talked about weddings and the cost, and I was also able to share that I don't want a super expensive wedding either. I even had the chance to tell him what my dream wedding was.

I don't think that means that we'll run out and get engaged tomorrow, but the fact that we can now have an open dialogue about these things is progress. Also, to me, the fact that he already has such strong feelings about the ring process, and ideas of how he would pick out a ring, and so on makes me feel that he is really evaluating and thinking about it all. Yay!

Anyway, just wanted to share!
