     hi, everybody! how is it going with you guys??

     I'm kinda worried about this situation.. My situation is like this. Im kinda engaged since we, both of us know that we are going to get married in this month!! but, I do not have ring yet! I have not gotten a propose yet from Him.. Is tehre anybody who was in this situation? Knowing that you are getting married, but have not proposed yet.

    I know I should be very happy for the fact that Im going to get married with him who I love, but it is so torturing for me to wait, wait and wait for the Ring!

    I really envy somebody who just get engaged before knowing that you are going to get married with your SO.

    wedding date is set up, but No Ring.

    what do you think?

    I would therefore not really think you're engaged. If there's no ring, there's really nothing but talk. I had a classmate a few years ago who had a "date" set with her then boyfriend but I ran into her last week and no wedding ever happened, she's actually with another guy! They did all of this planning but he didn't get her a ring. I'm not saying he's leading you on or saying it to shut you up or anything but I'd have a ring before I made any real plans or decisions if I was you.

    I think you can be engaged without a ring as long as yOu're comfortable with it :).

    You're getting married this month? I think you have bigger fish to fry than getting an e-ring!

    When you say you're getting married this month, do you mean vendors are already booked, invites out?  Do you mean you and your SO have agreed to go to the courthouse on X day?  Or do you mean something a lot less concrete, like having talked about it and at some point, picked a date that is fast approaching?

    Because if a legal/religious marriage ceremony is truely on your horizon, I wouldn't hold my breath for a ring or proposal.  You've agreed to get married, set plans in motion to do that and at this point you should assume that was proposal enough for him.

    @UsagiTsukino:  hi, thanks for your reponsed first.  we are going to courthouse within three weeks, and I got all documents for the legal marriage, which got delivered to his house this morning. my parents are already aware that we are going to get married at a courthouse first. we are going to have a wedding next spring. he is saying that he is going to announce to his family that we are going to get married since he gets me a ring first, which he mentioned. of course, he family is expecting for us to get married. his mother has mentioned about the diamond ring to him, and we went to a ring shop two times, but Im still waiting.

    as you are planning on getting married this month and you have dates/courthouse booked i really dont see why you are stressing about a "proposal" because i think its pretty much a done deal

    in the meantime, you are an adult - straight out ask the person you are going to marry in "hey, are you going to give me a ring and when am im going to get it?"

    you should be comfortable enough to talk to the person you are going to marry, if you cant do that at least then do some work on your communication and confidence to raise these subjects

    @eloping:  thanks for your reply, I moved in his city to be together, and got a job here. and my parents are in different city, which is far away from here. so we have decided to get married by natural talking. he felt kinda bad in the fact that we already decided to get married without his proposing, so I asked him around when he could get me a ring, and he says 'it is sopposed to be surprise', and he still wants to ask me the question, even both of us know that we are going to get married.

    honestly, I think Im kinda worried about this situation,I know im silly though, because last year, because of the condition that we live so far away from each other, jobs,,my parents' economic situation, there was a time he wanted to let me go, but he could not do that eventually. for the record, Im not american.

    he came over to my hometown, and worked for two years totally for me, and now I came over here to be with him and we already decided to get married at a court first when we were in my hometown(another country).

    and I just got the documents for the marriage from my country this morning. and I have around three weeks left to go to get married. and still waiting the proposal.  I am waiting because he said he wanted propose me anyways,,

    Even I know he and I know that we are going to get married, but he wants to propose me and then he wants to announce that we are getting married to his family. So, I want to get the ring first to announce to my relatives and my friends.

    because of my experience that we could break up because of the condition, I get sometimes mean thinking about what I have been through

    but, now we both of us trust each other, and we are so happy being together.

    I just can not wait to see the ring, Im a woman, and I want to get proposed even I know that Im going to get married.
