I have posted on here a few times in response to some of your posts, but I haven’t done my formal intro yet. I’m a lady in waiting (I like to call myself Waity Katie since it seemed to finally work for Kate Middleton, haha). I have been with my SO for almost 2 1/2 years, and we are so lucky and in love! I have had serious marriage on the brain for about the last year. I am hoping my SO will propose sometime this summer or early fall! (Even though he won’t give me a timeline, he says he wants it to be a complete surprise).
I try not to bring the subject of marriage up now, because I went a little crazy with it a few months ago, but he seems to bring it up more lately! 
For example, the latest comment was made last night: His brother just met this amazing girl, and it really seems to be going PERFECT for them! So they were joking around last night and his brother said to my SO (right in front of me) “See! I told you I would get married before you! Wanna race?” (Completely joking of course)….but then my SO said “Yeah, we can race! Theres no way you’ll beat me. I’m about to reach my prime time soon!”
EEEEEEKKKKKKKK!
I just had to muffle in my mini inner explosion in that moment 🙂
Haha. I’m so glad I have found somewhere that I can document all of these little comments, and have people to talk to about it! I can’t wait to start to get to know you ladies!!

WELCOME! Ooooooooh! 
This is so exciting!!! Sure seems to me like this guy is about to propose soon.
I can relate to how you feel. Not a day that goes by that I don’t think about it. My SO and I have been dating for just over 2 years (known each other a bit longer though) and we’ve been living together for 8 months. A few weeks ago we went looking at rings and I know he’s ordered one….. but I don’t think the ring is in yet. I heard it can take 6-8 weeks for a ring to arrive. He says he will surprise me (with a proposal) once it arrives….so it could be any day….or in the next month or so. I am going absolutely crazy hahahaha! I’m keeping myself busy, doing stuff with friends, trying not to think about it too much. Oh, and I have to keep this a secret because I don’t want to tell anyone before it’s official and he’s proposed. Thank goodness I can come here and share!
I’m new too. Looking forward to getting to know you, and sharing our stories!!

@minie77: How exciting!! I can’t wait to hear your proposal story! I would just die if I knew my SO already had a ring. And that is SO funny about you asking off for the royal wedding! I adore them as well 🙂
You ladies are so nice! I really want to get married next spring, so I hope he gets a move on…he throws out comments like that, and then completely throws me off the next day by saying something different! The boy is definitely good at confusing me…

@Ms.Pink:
Yeah but he has competition now….
it’s not just a friend, it’s his brother, sooooo hopefully this will push him forward a bit. Guys sometimes just stay in their comfort zone, they’re happy and don’t want to change anything. But if something shakes them a bit (like his brother having met someone potentially perfect for him) then this could be the little push that he needed.
I know waiting is hard though. But the best thing we can do is be patient in certain situations. Easier said then done!

@minie77: Thank you!!! You have no idea how much that makes me feel better 🙂 His family and friends are making so many comments about “when are you going to get married/propose/etc” lately, I sure hope he is starting to get the hint. Obviously I’m not as crazy as I previously thought for thinking we should be engaged like…now!
Ah, the lovely life of a waiting girl 🙂

Ooh sounds exciting! Welcome to the hive, be sure to join the waiting list, it’s perhaps the funnest thing about waiting.
