WOW your ring is gorgeous!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya :) I'm sure he has something special planned for you!
If I can give one word of advice...be patient. I wasn't and questioned everyone everyday about when it was coming. I would have hated to be on of my friends during that time. Wait and be surprised and enjoy it. I wish I had.
BEAUTIFUL RING!! And M has told me to just relax, woohoo it won't be until december huh?! I would definitely not mention it again. It sounds like he'll be popping the question soon!!
Also, Welcome to the board!! Those of us in waiting get so excited when it could be the big P-Day (proposal day)... Dont' be surprised if you get back from your trip and there is a whole post stalking and waiting for your news when you return!
He said December first, huh? I bet he'll do it close to your anniversary. Don't worry, it will happen! Your guy has been open to talking about it and picking out rings, so you can relax and know he's planning something very special :)
that is a stunning ring! and yeah, being patient sucks but it's worth it. or so i'm told. i'm still struggling with the patience myself. lol. let us know what happens and enjoy your getaway!
After dating for just over 3 years (and living together during the third year), my FI proposed this past weekend in Jamaica (eeeeee! :) ) A couple of weeks before our trip, FI asked what kind of rings/stones I liked. A couple of days before the trip, he texted me to ask what ring size I wore. Other than the first discussion about rings and the subsequent text messaage, I *never* brought up the ring/when?/engagement stuff, and let him surprise me. And he did!
Not saying/asking him anything was reeeeeeeally tough, but I am so so so glad that I bit my tongue and waited (the Hive was a wonderful outlet for me! - thanks ladies!!!). It was worth every last tooth imprint in my tongue to see how happy he was to do it his way, on his own time, without any pressure from me.
I know it's not easy, but all the fabulous ladies here will help keep you sane - good luck doll!
Awww! Thank you ladies so much for all your encouraging words! I'm just so excited that I found him and it is going to happen soon! I honestly prayed as a little girl for God to let me meet my FH young...I never knew I would meet him at 7 years old! Haha!
And one more thing about the ring...when we went shopping I picked out 5 that I liked at the store and he kept going back to that split shanked ring...so really he picked it out and then I fell in love! I'm hoping for my big P-day to happen soon but he says he wants it to be special. I don't really think he will propose in December because his cousin proposed last Christmas and they ended up calling off the wedding so he says he doesn't want to be like them!
I don't really care because our day will be our day!
Firstly... you are a very lucky girl to find the man of your dreams :)
Secondly, that ring is GORGEOUS!
And Third... it can be slightly disappointing when the men slip up (they don't seem to know much about keeping secrets do they?? LOL) Mine did the same thing, he dropped waaaay too many hints.. but i was still speechless when he proposed to me, even though I knew it was going to happen! lol
Just sit back and enjoy yourself, you're young and it'll all happen for you in due time!
best wishes! xoxo
I know it is hard to be patient, but at least you know he is going to propose! I thought I knew it was coming, when in Feb '08 we 'decided' to get married the next valentines day...imagine my surprised when we weren't engaged by summer...needless to say a TON of fights started up, and I thought he'd propose over the 4th of July, when we went to my parents house (who were offering him diamonds...) anywho, as you can see, I'm NOW married, but my lack of patience, and his lack of proposing for 6 mos ended up being a yucky period of our rel'nship, so I hope you can enjoy the waiting as much as possible!
Congrats girl! I love your story about how you and your bf knew each other forever. It kinda reminds me of my story because my bf lived down the street from my grandfather all his life, we went to the same church congress during the summer for years (he noticed me then), but we didn't meet until we were 17. We have been together ever since and he has slipped up and told me that he would propose by Christmas.
That is still a long time from now (well at least to me), but I am just so happy that the wait is almost over and I will be one step closer to being his wife. At least We are blessed to have men that love us, on the same page with us, and want to marry us.
I hope your doing ok new bee! I am a wedding addict and going crazy as well. I actually just wrote a post on getting good karma for a proposal tomorrow! So feel comfy..... you have friends here.... and other obsessed wedding ppl too.
That's a really sweet story. I've known my boy forever too, which people think is weird because he's 5 years older than me. But whatever, we're happy. :)
I've been obsessed and a lurker for a while too, and recently started posting. I check Weddingbee WAY too many times a day.
Welcome to the Hive :)
A lot of us are still waiting, so even if your ring doesn't come quite yet, please don't stay a stranger -- post often, post well. :)
my dream ring is also split sort of like that, your ring is gorgeous!
just keep a good attitude about it and know that when it happens, it will be perfect!
Gorgeous ring!!!! No worries, from the sounds of it, it won't be long!!! Seems to me that maybe over his birthday?!?! Here's some good luck wishes from me!!!
Okay since someone, TB, so graciously bumped me back up to the top an update is in order....
The birthday weekend trip was nice but no proposal...we got into it one day a couple of weeks ago and he told me that if I had just been patient I would have had it before Dec. 10th! I. Am. Crushed! I can't believe that I ruined it. Since then I have not been so much the 5 year old in the cereal aisle kicking and screaming about my ring as I was....then last night he drops another bomb on me while we are talking about Christmas presents. I told him weeks before that I had a really big one for him but it was expensive and would be better as an engagement gift... Well last night out of no where he blurts out "You're not getting your ring before Christmas!" Now I don't know if he was just saying that to aggravate me or what but I was kind of taken back...I was so sure that I would have it in the next few weeks! 
Just keep wishing! Just keep wishing! Just keep wishing, wishing, wishing!
you're not getting it before christmas doesn't mean you aren't getting it on christmas... you know?
I agree with crebre, maybe you're going to get it on Christmas!
I wasn't very patient when I was waiting to be proposed to... in fact, he was planning on asking me right after he bought the ring, but I found out later he waited because he thought I was too "suspicious." Whoops. Don't worry, I have a feeling you'll be getting it soon, and Christmas is only 32 days away!
BEEautiful ring! Compared to a lot of other ladies in waiting (*raises hand*), you're lucky in that you've already gone ring shopping! It's so exciting to hear another lady in waiting may be close to engagement. :D
I'm with crebre. Christmas. It could happen!
I would stop thinking about it, let it happen naturally. My fiance told me the weekend before we got engaged something to the affect of "well it's not going to happen too soon, so.." and I didn't question it, but I also certainly didn't expect it. Maybe he's throwing you off? Let it happen, when it does it will knock your socks off!!! I can tell you with certainty, he's planning it and is probably trying his hardest to let you think it's not coming anytime soon. I hope you are surprised, I wouldn't have had it any other way. I also hope it's not too much torture! Hugs
I don't think it will happen on Christmas since his cousin proposed on Christmas day last year....it just wouldn't be special enough for him I don't think. I honestly have no idea when or where or how he will do this...and right now I'm not going crazy so it's nice. I don't know why I have all the sudden calmed down but I have.
I'm just trying to live in the moment and enjoy what I have right now. There are some big events coming up in our lives soon...traveling to his families home for the first part of Thanksgiving and then to mine for the weekend, we have the SEC championship where his grandfather is being honored as a hall of famer, then my big brother is coming home from Iraq soon after that, and then Christmas! Busy busy busy!!!

Hey Ladies! I have to start off by admitting that this is not my first visit to your board. I have been lurking for a while now. But now I feel that I must take my first step in admitting my wedding addiction so here it goes
Hello, my name is pec1216 and I'm a wedding addict. I'm 22, currently in school full time (at night) and working full time during the day M-F 7:30-4:30 for an insurance company, 2 years here in December.
Being that I'm on this board you can gather that I have yet to receive a ring from BF. We have been dating for almost a year (12.16.08) and we know that this is it for us. BF and I have known each other since we were about 7 years old. My dad coached him in little league, I danced with his sister in our little ballet classes. After we started dating he helped my dad coach MY little brothers little league team, he now plays church league softball with my church team and my dad! He has completely won the hearts of my family and I am so lucky to have him by my side.
Now onto the whole reason I'm on this board we went shopping back in August since according to BF, he knew I was the one from the minute he first laid eyes on me (back in November, not as kids). He went into the situation blind and I went in knowing what I wanted or at least I thought I did. The lady that helped us helped me figure out what I wanted and I narrowed it down to a couple of beautiful rings. But being that I have big fingers, size 7.5, none of those gorgeous rings would slide past my knuckle so I never got a clear idea of what looked good on me. After we left I did some extensive research and found a ring similar to the one that BF and I both liked the jeweler ordered it and I went back in the next week solo to see how it looked…she said try it on well what was the point of that since I have the hands of Andre the Giant it slid right onto my ring finger! I swear I could hear angels singing praises! She called BF and told him all about it. I posted a pic of it on the ring board day before yesterday...if you want to see it I will post it here too.
No ring yet We're going away next weekend for his birthday to a really romantic place, (his idea, kind of odd) but I'm not sure when he is going to do it. He keeps telling me that he wants it to be a surprise and that I deserve something sweet because of all that I have been through so I guess I'm going to have to learn the virtue of patience. Being that I have been talking about weddings and rings and such for the past week BF and I got into it last night. He told me to calm down and just relax. It will happen when it happens then....he slipped up I think...he said you won't have to wait till December then after a pause he quickly said or November, August or May...he also clarified yesterday which ring it was that I loved and asked me like 3 times are you sure that's the one...Ugh stupid boys!!!
Here's to wishful thinking and not going crazy in the meantime!
