I joined this wonderful place last week. So happy I found Weddingbee!
So today I look at the calendar and realize it’s only been 2 weeks since the ring was ordered. My SO and I went looking at rings a few weeks ago, and I know he ordered one around March 12-13-14. I know a standard ring order like that is average 4-6 weeks. I feel like it’s been 3-4 weeks….but no, it’s only been 2 weeks!!! AAAAAAAAH! It *could* be another WHOLE month before he proposes. I am sooooo wishing it comes sooner rather than later. I know I’ve been waiting 33 years, and a month wouldn’t be that bad….but I think about it every day. Now that the time is right there, at my reach, I’ve never felt so excited and anxious!!!!! Com’ on 4-6 weeks…..!!
Thank goodness I have this board to read. It helps to read about where everyone is in the waiting and/or wedding planning. In a way, it keeps my mind off my own waiting.
Thanks for “listening”!

Congratulations!!! We had to order my ring also and I didn’t want to wait long after it came in so I said something like “you don’t want that sitting in your house to be stolen” and it worked! 🙂

You never know it might be done sooner, when Fiance ordered mine they said 4-6 weeks, but it was ready one day shy of 3 weeks… once it was in his hands he was so anxious that he proposed that night!

@PrayToBe:
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I am preparing myself to wait (longer) but and very much hoping that he gets it early…

Very exciting! Congrats! Has he told you he will propose as soon as he gets the ring? Just asking because mine has had the ring since December. I’ve learned to give him his time, apparently he’s planning something. I kinda got my hopes up that it would happen when he got it though!

@MademoiselleL:
Yes that is the understanding. He will organize/surprise me with the proposal once he gets the ring. I am SO excited!! Good luck with your proposal, I’m sure it will come soon if you’ve already been waiting a few months, and it sounds like your SO will make extra special 🙂
@nikkiinmass:
Thank you for asking! 🙂 We went looking at rings together, did a few stores (not on the same day though) and started learning about diamonds, rings etc. We had no idea! hahaha! One of the first rings he pointed out to me, was a Lazare diamond (0.55 crt) ring, very beautiful, low-setting (which I love), and platinum. It was a bit out of our price range so I never thought I would get that ring. We kept looking, and I saw a Tacori that I liked too. Then my SO admitted to me that he *really* liked the first Lazare diamond that I had tried on… and I was like “really?! I love it too!!” So he went back and ordered it. We decided to order it in white gold instead of platinum because there was a $800 (canadian) difference. In addition, the store was having their “annual sale” in April and they said (in March) that they would give us the discount anyway (even if we were early).
Obviously I can’t wait for him to propose. Although we’ve talked about marriage before going shopping, I wonder what he will plan. Very much looking forward to it!!

@minie77: Thanks!!!! we are going first week of May, so it’s quite a ways away!! That’s ok with me though, my dad is away for work and comes back end of April. I told SO he has to wait until my dad is back therefore, I have a feeling it will be on vacation!! 🙂 Plus I always told him he had to do it on a beach haha
Good luck with yours too! keep us posted!
@darlingdeer: I will keep everyone posted! Thanks!!!
