Hey ladies my SO recently told me he put a deposit on a ring and
I think he is planning a christmas proposal in front of his family :-)
Very exciting!!!
What about you?
When do you think a proposal is coming?
Are you excited, nervous? I tell ya, waiting sure is exhausting.
I have been excited, fustrated, calm, trying to be calm, super excited,happy LOL, well if not anything else ,waiting certainly is entertaining.
SO has been hinting about something on his phone that I'm not allowed to see, He says that I will be able to see his phone in a couple of weeks (my Birthday is tomorrow and then of course Christmas is in 19 days) so I'm anxiously awaiting Christmas! lol
@annasaf83: !!!! so exciting Anna!!! I thought as the date got closer it would be easier to not talk about it. but actually the opposite is true!! Sounds like the next 3 weeks will be very exciting for you indeed Anna :)
I would love a Christmas proposal, but that will never happen! SO is not one to do what is expected of him, or what others think makes sense. He'll propose at the most random time, who knows maybe it will be Christmas day... NBA season is back and thats always a big day in our house! ;)
Hi! I don't know exactly when but I know it'll be sometime in the next couple months. He keeps saying "I was looking at rings this week" and we've half planned the wedding already. Though I told him I wanted to get through the next month of crazy family travel.
I'm very excited, I've been excited since I was knocked upside the head by a good friend and recognized that he's perfect for me. I keep focusing on the 'next things'. I was on work travel, then Thanksgiving, now is Christmas arrangements. Maybe that can help for you? I really like wrapping presents so I've been taking time every day for that. Plus, I've been lurking around here and started posting! Not sure if this will help keeping me calm or not though :)
IDK exactly when it will be, but yesterday he asked me a couple questions about our future, and said we need to find my real ring size. The way he said it I know it's coming soon! Squee! Probably not until next year, though. But hey, next year is less than a month away! 
You are right pokey_dc, keeping busy is one of the keys to a happy waiting time. You know whats interesting is that I didnt think I would be so excited about the whole thing but I am urber excited!!! like you u Future_Ms.Bostonceltics . I hope you ladies get your fantastic proposal soon. I really cant wait to get my ring :-)
Thats right next year is less than a month away !! :-) exciting!!!
I think my proposal's coming sometime in the next two weeks! Due to my SO's inability to keep secrets from me, I know he has a ring (somewhere in our apt...eek!). He surprised me with a Christmas trip to Disney that he secretly planned and we leave next week. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it's pretty obvious that's when he'll ask. I'm really excited but anxious. I'm trying not to let him know that I think it's coming but it's so hard to act normal when he talks about our trip. Thank goodness for this waiting board and you lovely bees for keeping me sane all these months!
@Adeshewa: It took us a few months to get our act together, but once we did, things have been flying. I don't mean too fast, it's perfect for me and him, but so many changes. I try not to focus on the little stuff, and get the big things out of the way.
I voted "sometime in the next two years", even though most of the time i feel like its somewhere between "I have no clue" and "never".
The short answer is that I have absolutely no clue. And honestly, if it takes another 2 years for him to propose to me I can't promise I will say 'yes' or that his life won't be a living hell up to that point
I voted for 6 months. As soon as we get jobs we'll be officially on engagement watch. Hopefully it won't take us much longer to get them.
I know it will definitely be sometime in the next few weeks, around Christmas or New Years. The ring is hidden in our house and I know it's before the end of 2011. The question is just whether it's before Christmas, under the tree at Christmas or after that. I doubt he would do anything in front of my family, that's completely unlike us and I would imagine it's somehow private. I'm guessing in my stocking Christmas morning maybe, if I had to take a guess!
I know it's coming as soon as the ring is ready... he keeps hinting at there being "big developments" in that area haha such a tease. We both want it to happen before Christmas. Wow so soon...
I voted for this christmas, because I know my SO bought something from the jeweler we were looking at for around the same pice as rings we were looking at cost :) Oh, and he knows my dream proposal would be when we're all with my family over the holidays since I don't see them any other times because we moved 2.5 hours away.
Butttttt. Him being the good little secret keeper (he kept taking me to see Burce Springsteen ON my 21st birthday a secret), he has told me that he knows it will happen within the next 18 months! GAH! I've tried to get out of him how long he would wait when he finally gets a ring(he has no idea that I know something) and all he says is "idk" or "maybe" UGH damn cryptic men =P I can't get any other information out of him other than that one of my christmas gifts starts with a letter P, and theres one that starts with a T.
I hope it's this Christmas, or at least this year. We have a timeline of this year so we'll see if it happens. I recently asked him if were still on the timeline, but all he'll say is that he won't tell me anything. Hopefully that means that it will be happening in the next few weeks :)
I picked within the next two weeks. I was hoping for a 5 year anniversary proposal on the 23rd, but now that day is the only one his friends are available to all get together and play video games (it's also his best friend's 6 year anniversary with his girlfriend that day). To make it up to me (not that i care about celebrating on the exact day), he is making the prior weekend an "anniversary weekend." Since he's not creative AT ALL, I'm thinking maybe it will be that weekend- fingers crossed!
@bookworm88: Hope so! teehee. It could also mean PJ pants, since I buy them for him every year, and he jokes that this year he would get me some... aaaand we've joked that he's getting me a pony.
I picked within the next 2 weeks. I think he will have the ring within the next couple of days and I know he's been texting a close friend of ours and being sneaky! it's actually his best friend's wife. SO was the best man in their wedding last month and she knows how "waiting" can be and we talk about it together.... and she randomly emailed me a list of her wedding vendors that I mentioned to her I wanted to use "one day"..(she said she just happened to think of it)... So I think he might be consulting with her/brainstorming ideas of a proposal from a girls POV?! and I know he wouldn't ask any of my best friends because they could never keep it from me... lol... :D
He said after I graduate. Well, I finish in June and my graduation ceremony is in September, so sometime by October next year is probably about right. Wish it was sooner though :)
I voted sometime in the next two years. We are moving in together in a few months so once that happens I may have a better idea. I'm not worried though.
I voted: Sometime in the next 2 weeks. Mostly because I'm aware it will happen then. I have about a week and a half and then we're both off for winter break (we both work for school districts) and we'll be off for 3 weeks! My family from out of state is coming at the same time too and it will be nice to have everyone here. :) I'm excited and counting down!
I voted New Years but I think it might happen on Christmas Eve because it's my favourite haha. I'm not sure, he's just been acting different than usual and he said it would happen in the winter so it won't happen until at least the 22nd..but I'm pretty sure it'll happen Valentine's Day at the latest since that's my birthday and winter is almost over by that point and I'm going on a trip with my family the week after (so I think he wants me to have a ring for that). Haha pretty much I'm expecting it over our schools' Christmas holidays (dec 13th-january 9th)!
I chose christmas 2011 as FH and I met on the 18/12/10 but he shocked me (and my parents when he asked them before me) by asking me in Sept this year :)
I voted "other".
We're LDR, so when we get engaged will be largely influenced by when we can be in the same place. I'm hoping to get into a Grad program near him that would start Fall 2012. If that's the case, we'd probably be engaged within about 6 months of being in the same city.
I know it seems like it could be a long way off, but as long as we are working toward making it happen, I'm ok with it.
The only issue is if I don't get into Grad school near him, our timeline will likely be altered.
BF and I agreed we wouldn't get engaged until we've been dating for a year, so I selected our next anniversary which would be early August (yes, I know, we've only been dating a short time, but when you know, you know) which is also both of our birthdays' month...
I don't know. But I think sometime in December. I can't justify it. It's just a feeling.
I voted for "within the next year." This is a hopeful note since my SO has not set an actual timeline. I know he had some personal goals that he wanted to accomplish within the last few years, and I think he's getting to a more stable place to take the next step! I'll keep my fingers crossed for something by the end of 2012 (even though that seems forever away sometimes! :))
In the next 2 weeks!!!! he is RUBBISH at keeping secrets so I know he's taking me on holiday and we have almost got the ring :D
Hopefully before new years.. but if not then definately by my bday in Jan.. but if not then definately Valentines day..
and if not by then.. well, I'll propose to HIM on leap year day :P
@spaneshal: That's how I feel... Christmas, then New Years, then our Anniversary in Jan, then trip to Hawaii, then Valentine's Day, then my Birthday in Feb... It's like he has so many great opportunities coming up! Too bad he would be seriously annoyed if I took things into my own hands!
I voted 6 months because of all the stuff happening in the next 6 months, but honestly, no idea. I know it likely won't be a holiday, he basically told me such. Then I was telling him how so much has happened this year, but it still blazed by like I was still waiting for something, and he replied "I know what you're waiting for..." all annoyed (I honestly didn't mean that!!!), so that makes me wonder and overanalyze (I think overanalyze should be my middle name...). SO... we'll see.
New Year's Eve, pretty dead-certain. Because he knows that I'm going to give up and ask him that night.
@lamourbleu: I know it's cliched but you're right. I knew within 2 hours of our first date, he took less time. Though, admitting it to each other took a bit longer :)
Thank u ladies for sharing :-)
I hope we all have very happy ends indeed.
Good luck bees:) and hugs
=^.^=
SO and I have been talking about the future fairly early on in our relationship. Just last week he said he would take me to Venice (my dream vacation spot) in 2012 and we would get married there. I was shocked and said 'wait, next year? we're going to venice? we're getting married?? next year?!' Then SO said: 'well, will you marry me?' I jokingly asked if he just proposed and he said 'no, yes... but I still want to get you a ring and all'
I've been super excited for the past week and couldn't keep my mind off of it. He's been really busy with work and projects lately... so I don't think he'll propose until July - which is our anniversary.
I don't think it'll be possible to be engaged and married in less than a year. It's a sweet thought though!
very possibly never... he kind of keeps pushing back the "l'll propose by ____" timeline. first it was by our anniversary, then summer, then fall, then next christmas...
but i have my own timeline before I leave. I can't/won't wait forever even though I love him.
It won't be until at least September next year, after he graduates *sigh*
