Weddingbee boards

I have loosely alluded or is it eluded to the conversation that I had with M yesterday.  It was a very confusing conversation that ended with him saying that I was being selfish because this was his thing and he wanted everything to be a surprise.  Yeah I felt really tiny and small but perplexed wondering what he has up his sleeves.

Now on to the funny part. I asked M something about rings etc and if he had any questions about researching the stones. He said nah then he says well when i was 21 i said i wasn't getting married to anyone until we had been together five years (completely new statement). I was like wth? then he says why are you upset we've been together four years (um no, almost a year and a half) and then he says well we have known each other for two years so that's what i meant. i was like mm-kay.  then he starts talking about all of these dates and years and i was so confused that i just had the blank stare on my face like this

(especially after he shows me some god-awful ring that he really liked) i was like um that doesn't look anything like what i'd like  and he says well it's what i like, but um it has PINK sapphires, so it's a woman's ring but it looks just like a guy's ring. and he just started laughing saying well you said to show you what i like.  then he said he was going to take my mom shopping with him and get her opinion on a ring, but um how is that possible she lives 5 hours away.. and he says i'm a control freak and that i will have no control over this at all.  and i won't ruin HIS surprise of proposing to me and picking out my ring...

the entire story makes me laugh now because i said i don't know what you are talking about you are confusing the heck out of me.. and he goes i know because every statement that i have made has been conflicting (WTH! glad that you know you nut!)...  but he also thought that when he had the money he would just walk in and purchase the ring and when i told him about settings etc he got a new perspective and said he was glad that i told him about that stuff and that was about it.  so it was incredibly annoying but man when m said "i know i'm confusing you because everything that i said is conflicting" was one of the most hilarious things he has ever said to me and we even laughed about it today, gotta love em, right?!

okay the venue search post has reminded me of the final hint of insanity for my otherwise normal beau.... I am glad to research everything pre-engagement because M evidently thinks a wedding can be planned in two weeks " all you have to do is call and reserve the place" well what about the invites, baby, we need to send them in eight weeks. his response: we can send an email blast.. the look of utter horror from my face made him giggle and say, well babe you can do invites, and we'll send them out 8 weeks before hand. Ummm what world is he living in and I think he takes great pleasure in torturing me!!

eta and then there was the sandwich and chicken remark since he doesn't want everyone to get full on his dime!! thank goodness for gourmet burgers stations, thank you to whichever of you wonderful ladies posted the idea a few months ago! you rock because he loved it as well.

omg ladies i think he is trying to drive me crazy,

@belle: he was on a completely other level last night!! it was hilarious!! i mean i know he loves it!! because he said he did because i'm a control freak and that he wanted to make sure i'd have no control over this. 

omg i said: um babe you have confused me because you won't give a straight answer

him: good because that means you have no control over it and i can plan. 

me: umm but you just said you wanted to wait five years.

him: i know next year is five years.

me: um next year is three. 

him: that's what i said...

me:

and let's not even go into the fact that he was going to walk into a store and pick out a perfect aquamarine (or blue stone vintage halo) ring in a pretty blue hue whenever he's ready. when i told him about the mounts etc it was insane because he had no clue. so the whole point of the story is at least he knows if he has a plan in the works and a specific date to start looking for a setting and stones about two months in advance since he doesn't want my help.  sigh...  and when he brought up my mom helping, um she has no idea what ring i want, i picked hers!!

him: well your mom would just ask you what you like

me: wouldn't that ruin your surprise and let me know that you're ring shopping

him: yeah

me: well um why can't we go together so that i can show you some

him: because

me

@futuredr: i really think he's doing it to confuse me and he's trying to surprise me because he says that i'm being selfish.  the proposal is his thing and i should "let him do this the way he wants to with the ring he wants."

of course i said it's selfish because the ring he picks is the ring i'm going to wear forever and i should love it.

and then he said i'll give you a rubber band and a gift certificate (those of you that remember the dream ring section will appreciate that!!)

and my response was i told you i don't need a ring at all!! a rubber band will suffice. 

i guess that's when he gave me this face

@belle: and he told me we could just go to vegas and do a drive thru wedding and get married by elvis... i think you know my face by now... i mean i could tell he was enjoying the torture because he kept laughing

this is the ring.. not bad at all per se, but um yeah i love the tiffany legacy ring so this in now way shape or COLOR is right...

@belle: he is hilarious!! one of my favorite things i love about him is his ability to make me laugh. but the fact that he was cracking himself up was a new one!

omg the beer wedding arch is priceless!!! but i swear when the nut said he'd get the insurance policy to do the catering because he was only inviting 25 people... let's just say my blank stare was there again...

where's the guidance of mr. bee when you need him to explain this testerone?!

YOU KNOW MOET IMPERIAL IS HIS FAVORITE! and the rose' is mine!  He is such a nut! I brought out all of our corks today when I added the three from his bday night and he just grinned and I told him the story of years ago I read that a girl kept all of the corks from her special bottles with her boyfriend/fiance, and how if i ever had a chance i would do it and he just grinned.  we shared our first bottle of champagne on 8-8-08 i think that's friggin' cool!! and i think it will be great to tell our grandkids and kids our love stories when they are old enough to care and young enough to ask about grandma and granddad when they were young. sigh...

lmbo! i suppose... i just thought it was crazy that i'd never noticed until the moment i wrote this post.

and belle... do what you wish we'd just give you the finger...

@DD: LOL well it was either cry or laugh and the statement was too funny to cry about!!

@afish: no figuring them out at all.  i think it's all part of his master plan to stop trying to figure it out and to just say okay whatever who knows when (which is where i am right now)

@jaxx: he is either really dumb or surprisingly brilliant.  the verdict is still out on that one.

@mmmtacos: LMBO!!!

@lolaj: this is my favorite ring, he knows it, so for him to pick out a pink ring that isn't even similar was quite hilarious.

@RB: LOL!! Agreed (but remember I put in a special request for mr. bee to decipher this, so they aren't that stupid.. well perhaps I will reserve that statement until after he answers :P)

@ fish: I got your back!

@hisbarista: why do i think of you everytime i go to sb?!

@afish: :D we're >>here<< lol!!!

@futuremrsmartin: OMG thank goodness! it almost feels like he is trying to throw me off but i can't tell why.. how long did it take with this foolishness before you got engaged? btw i told him that i posted what he did on the board and how all of my girlies were laughing and he found it hilarious. it is seriously driving me crazy though because i know i don't want a long engagement and if it happens this year i will have to hurry up and decide on a wedding day and stop taking clients (i already have two possibly three in feb and march) with full design options, because he wants to get married in february or march and the fact that he is wanting a two week honeymoon doesn't solve anything... btw wth are we going to do for two weeks...

okay never mind i am starting to sound like him (a nut!) i cannot wait to be engaged and marry him!! i love him so much!!
