Weddingbee boards

Soooo, I was kind of hoping that this would be "THE" weekend that everything is made official.  I mean, we have the date set; we're on the photographers books; he as of about a month ago had at least the setting, too!  We have our first meeting with our priest TOMORROW and this weekend was our annual camping trip... and he knows how much I love camping.  We'll, without going into specifics on why else this upcoming week could potentially be awesome, I made myself stay quiet except for a few "I really think this weekend is going to be only the start of a fabulous week" comments.  

We get to the campground and he's all cranky from not getting off work until late. We're trying to unload the truck and get ready to camp at 10:30pm, in the dark, and it's about to drizzle.  It got a little tense to say the least so I just backed off and let him organize however he wanted too.  Come "bedtime" we crawl in (with the 50lb poodle!) and he's still cranky. Def. not romantic... and the dogs in the way so I call the dog closer to me so that BF has room for his feet... and then of course I always "care more about the dog," riiiiight.

We make it to morning and things are better after sleep. He says something like "I bet when we announce it...." Which of course excites me!   We go on a great long hike, but I'm getting less and less convinced it's going to happen as the day goes on but it's not going to bring me down. That night I had a little too much to drink, oops.  It's an outing with friends so it's not like we were "alone" but apparently some things happened in the tent that really pissed him off... cause in the middle of the night when I "woke up" he was an absolute bear to deal with and I didn't know why so then I of course start getting pissed off, too.  We go to leave Sunday and on the way home we spent half the time not talking.  I finally get it out of him what happened and I guess he didn't realize that I was "past the stage of comprehension."  Let's just say, I was apparently not who I normally am, and no, I didn't drunkingly talk of the wedding or engagement. 

The thing is, I'm a glass of wine at dinner girl and I don't "party" or "bar hop." It's just not my scene.  I hadn't even been drinking that long that night and it just hit me!  Needless to say I'm even more resolved to drink even less now than I was before... but after some time we're back to our normal loving selves.  So much for that romantic weekend!  We talked a bit over dinner last night about things (since we meet with our priest tomorrow) and I pretty much just told him that I understand he wants to make sure he has it perfect for me (he's like monk and a perfectionist), but I can't really make any plans or say anything until it's official.  Since my parents are coming in from another country for Thanksgiving, I'd really appreciate it we could make it official before then... so I can have my parents present for at least some of the planning.  I KNOW they won't really be able to make it back after this trip until the wedding, and he knows that too.  So, He agreed and I guess now it's just waiting for the next few weeks until it actually happens...

Sorry for the long story, but it was quite the un-eventful weekend ;-(

Thanks... I wish it was wine but it was Firefly which is a sweet tea vodka.  I think I was more thinking it would be a great time for him to do it but I have a feeling it was never his plan to do it then/there... 

Anyhow, I'm not concerned, I'm sure he'll do brilliantly when he's ready ;-) I'm just itching to get it... but patience was never my virtue!
