That would drive me nuts... I'm so glad I didn't know about my proposal, it took me by utter surprise!
I'm with you dannyb417, if I had known he had my ring for over a week, I would have gone crazy! And I was totally surprised.
My FI dropped MAJOR hints when he purchased my ring. I was on edge for a week before he proposed!
Ahhh! So exciting! My FH had the ring for 1.5 MONTHS before he proposed!!! Thank goodness I didn't know he had it cause I was already antsy and if I knew it was in his physical possession I think I would have just lost it.

To make matters worse, we live together. So while I want to respect his wishes and give him the time/space he needs to plan or think or whatever.. I also feel like i want to tear about the house lookin for it!

Ditto Miss Marquis! Our ring has landed too. Wondering when because he knows I will not secure one thing without the bling!

What a tease, that would drive me crazy and I would probably also want to tear through the house looking for it! Can't wait to see the pics when he does give it to you.

My husband had my ring for 4 months before he proposed to me. He never flat out told me it was in but everyonce in a while dropped me a hint. I actually almost found it one day while cleaning (he hid it in his ice skates). I am really glad I ultimately didn't because his proposal was perfect! (and well worth the wait).
Good Luck!
Wow! How exciting! I'm glad I didn't know ahead of time, because i would have been dying!
My guy waited 6 months before proposing. To make matters worse, I helped pick out the ring, so I knew it was in his possession. I wanted an antique ring so we made a surprise trip to NYC to pick it out, and ended up buying it that day.
Everything we did together made me wonder if that would be the moment. The wait was well worth it in the end.
I feel your pain, just hang in there, I am sure he wants it to be just as perfect as you imagine!

Marquisemiss!!! I'm so excited for you, and I know exactly how you feel.
My FH and I actually started planning our wedding before I had a ring. We had already booked the reception hall, church and photographer. One day, we were hanging out and I sensed something tingling in the air. I knew my ring was ready. I didn't know where it was but I knew it was there and the "official" proposal was imminent. Like your fiance, my FH wanted to suprise me with the proposal and the ring. About a month later he proposed, almost exactly 1 year before our wedding date. He had wanted to propose the exact day but another close friend got engaged that day and he changed his plans.
Well after I wrote this post, he said he wanted to go get it with me. He was excited about it too and hated to keep it from me! So I did get to see it! And it's faaaaabulous. But I still dont' have it. It's sitting in its box on a table like 10 feet away from me until he decides what to do. He asked me if i jsut wanted to take it right when we bought it, but I told him while I don't need a fancy proposal, he really ought to at least ask nicely ;-) But hopefully in the next couple of days...
Now we're all dying to see it, like you were! Thanks Alot Ms. Marquise!!! lol, kidding....
I hope somehow he surprises you though!
Yeah, I don't know what I want. he wants to talk to some family first about it, and have a nice proposal story for later. I'm down with that. But I hope all this happens soon!
Hang in there marquisemiss... That's something I have to repeat to myself everyday... My boyfriend and me want to become official, but as almost every man, he wants that but there's no timeline... After discussions again and again and me trying to establish this timeline, he showed me three pictures of Solitaires and asked me what would I choose... then one of my rings dissapeared for couple days.
And now... I'm just waiting!! I don't know whether he has the ring yet... and anything more, but I'm so excited, so impatient and feel as I can't wait anymore!!!
Any advices from other girls on how to act naturally and just... wait patiently for the big day???
Well, I definitely think it's something we have to do. Admit it - the wedding is a girl thing. WE are the ones who dream about it, do most of the planning, spend thousands on our 'look'. Everyone wants to know about the bride at the wedding. People barely mention the groom.
But they do ask "how did he propose". And do we really want our poor man to be totally discredited, when we have to tell people that he didn't (because we didn't give him a chance)? I don't want to be telling my friends "oh, well we bought the ring, and then i badgered him about it until he finally just gave it to me."
So let him have this one part of the process. It's his part and if he wants to play it his way, give him the space to do that. We have our whole lives to wear that ring, and in retrospect, a day or a week or a month of time waiting to be engaged isn't going to mean that much.
That's my rationalization. (While irrational/emotional/overexcited me is going gimme gimme gimme that sparkle! I want to weeeeaaaar ittttttt!) LOL.
He took the ring with him to work this morning, by the way. I think he's going to talk to his folks about it later today. A little bit of a bummer, as I'd kind of wanted to be the one share it with FMIL... but it's HIS parents, and if he wants to include them in the proposal process, that's his choice and I think it's sweet.
Ahh, I can totally relate! My boyfriend has had my ring for 2 months now! I just want to wear it! But isn't it exciting knowing that it's coming SOON?! I just keep telling myself that.. The 2 or 3 months that I have to wait to wear it is nothing compared to the YEARS (and years and years) I'll get to wear it! That said, I think about it constantly and am getting impatient! :)
Wow. This is getting fun MarquisMiss! I can sense your anticipation. Just try to relax and enjoy from this moment forward. You know you both are moving forward, just enjoy now until the moment happens.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! So exciting! I think I would die of anxiety if I knew the ring had landed. I hope I won't know if the ring was in my bf's possession because I would be so antsy all the time! I hope you have a marvelous proposal. If not, then a wonderfully romantic and intimate one. But you're right, he should have a chance to floor you with a proposal :o) Congratulations in advance!
I'm bouncing between my zen "it'll happen when it happens, and it'll be great" attitude, and my anxious "OMG STOP DANGLING IT IN FRONT OF ME, I AM DYING HERE!" attitude. I would rather he see the good side, but I know him so well that it's hard for me to keep the bad side down.
Hooray! That's so exciting! It would drive me nuts, though too! my boyfriend and I also live together, and I think he has my ring right now. Either that, or it is coming very soon. I refuse to try to find it though because I just love surprises! I hope he proposes soon because I can barely stand to wait much longer! lol He is taking me on a hot air balloon ride tomorrow for the sunrise, so maybe....just maybe... I'm not really getting my hopes up though.
Oh that's so exciting! On the whole it sounds like you're doing really good with being patient. At least you know you can come here and vent the frustration while you wait, haha. Please keep us updated. :)
That's very exciting! I admire your patience. I wasn't as patient and we kind of ended up having an argument about it and the proposal happened just to get me to shut up about it, I'm afraid. I wish I'd known about Weddingbee before he proposed so that I could hear all of these things back then. Anyway, the proposal was okay, but I know he would've done something really special for me if I'd given him a chance and not been so impatient. Silly, silly hedgehog. Keep us posted! Can't wait to hear all about it.
Lookie what I got!! OooooO!
He was very sweet and proposed at home, in the middle of the day. He said such sweet things and I was crying immediately. Awwwww! I'm so happy!!
YAY!! Congrats!!! your ring is gorgeous! you must be so excited to finally wear it!

my fiance did the same thing with me...I got the call from the jewelers saying that it was ready and that I was going to love it...I got the call because it was my grandfather's diamond that is set into my engagement ring, and I am very protective of this diamond because it is beautiful and appraised at almost $4,000...so I got the call and I immediately called my then "boyfriend"...he made me wait a whole month before he proposed...I was sooooo anxious. He immediately came home with the ring...I saw the box..but he gave it to his mom to put in their safe...AAAHHHHH, eventually he proposed when we were on a family vacation to Bermuda with his family...it wasnt romantic, but i didnt care, i got my ring...haha.
I know how you feel!! My boyfriend (of 5 years) has had the ring for almost 4 months now! I've known about it since the day he bought it, which is torture! He hid it from me in the beginning, but now I know exactly where it is! To make matters worse, he taped up the bag so he could tell if I got into it or not. He said that if I did get into it, he was going to take longer to propose! I know he wants it to be special, but our 5 year anniversary is one week away and I'm not sure if he is ready to give it to me. I'm going nuts!!
My FI wanted to have the proposal be special (which it was) but the couple days that I knew he had the ring and when he proposed were sooo nerve-racking!
It was worth it though, we have a beautiful proposal memory to cherish.
WOW! AWESOME!! Congrats! I went thorugh almost the same thing you went to, and I was going to suggest savoring it a bit, but too late, you already got it! LOL Gorgeous!!

The man just told me that our jeweler called, and my ring is in. The jeweler said to him "she will be floored".
However, he already told me that he wants to take his time to plan the proposal, possibly talking to other people about it, etc. Of course, now I'm going CRAZY... I want to be floored right NOW, you know? Maybe he shouldn't have told me it was in!
