Congrats to any newly engaged bee’s!
Ive been a bit quiet on here as we have been busy moving.
I was looking for something in his man cave and came across the box and certificates….it took me all my strength and will power to close that drawer and walk away!
I’m really hoping that now we are living on our own it will be very soon. Only a couple of days left in April so I guess I’ll be seeing you all in the May thread! Ugh

bleubirdxo: Oh my gosh that’s so exciting!!!! That would have taken serious willpower to walk away from that box. How do you feel? Excited? Nervous?

blissfulheart: very excited, although because we are moving ive been quite stressed so i havnt been thinking about it much.
Hopefully he doesnt keep me waiting too much longer!
And yes, it took a lot of will power, but i want to see it when he asks, and i know he would be so upset if he even found out i knew he had it let alone had opened the box!

Well, today is our 6 year anniversary and I’m on pins and needles hoping it will happen tonight! He’s been dropping major hints that it will be happening soon, but I don’t have any evidence that is definitely going to be tonight, but here’s to hoping! But even if he doesn’t, I’m so happy to be celebrating 6 years with the person I love most in this world, nothing is bringing me down today 😀

sassydingo: Fingers crossed!!
AFM, I know it isn’t happening this month but I am getting so impatient/excited. My SO has been in a lovey dovey “you’ll be my fiancée soon!” phase and it’s making me so anxious to be engaged already! It’s also been so hard not to tell my mom or best friend about it.

sassydingo: Happy anniversary! It sounds like it’s going to be an exciting evening for you! Sending good wishes your way. Please let us know how things go!
mushface: It sounds like you’re really close now! Do you have any idea of days when he might propose?

blissfulheart: I know he planned a super secret proposal that he is very proud of. Our ring won’t be here until the end of May, and he accidentally let it slip that it wouldn’t be June. I have a strong feeling it will be early July. So not super soon, but still only about 2 months away! We don’t have any big milestones/anniversaries in the Summer so I am thinking it will be a random day

No proposal last night. Now I’m really curious about when he’s planning on doing it! Knowing him it’ll be a random Tuesday or something lol

I can’t believe April is almost over. Good luck to you ladies who are still waiting. 3 more days of the month then we’re off to rolling over to May lol. But I think mine will be June but I love the support here so I will be joining May also 🙂

Bees! Tonight might be the night! Well, maybe… I go back and forth, since we’re still planning to do the thing I felt certain he wanted to propose during this weekend. On the other hand, he spent a fair amount of money setting this up, which seems weird as a “just no reason” thing, and it requires us both to dress up (a jacket -and- a tie!), and it just… seems like it would be perfect. But so would this weekend!
Sigh! I’m totally on pins and needles today just thinking about it, so tonight can’t come fast enough (and if it’s not tonight, then this weekend definitely needs to hurry up!)

It happened! It actually happened!! omg, I’m really engaged!!!
I handled it about as awkwardly as I imagined, I’m afraid… He was leading me- supposedly to our event- in a bit of a hurry, and we had just gotten to the top of these broad marble stairs outside the venue. I was like “oh, that fountain is really pretty, we should go look at it.” That was about the same time he got down on one knee, and without missing a beat I, like a pro, say, “or I guess you could do that.” #winningproposalmoment #ornotsomuch
We recovered nicely after that, however. Apparently, we had to hurry because we were meeting a photographer who captured the proposal and took sunset engagement pics afterwards, so that was pretty cool (mercifully, we were both very dressed up for this event, and the ones we previewed looked great).
Gratuitous ring shot from inside the venue, because I thought the diamond looked cool under the blueish lighting. 🙂 I need to get better at ring shots, but if how many I’ve taken tonight alone is any indication, I’m sure I’ll be getting plenty of practice over the next few days!
