For those of you who had to wait for a proposal

[hearts set]

How did you do it??

I was very very involved in the selection of my diamond and setting. I chose WhiteFlash and did most all of the communication.

Now, the ring is in his possession.

I have been asked to cease with diamond ring talk.

Not another word until the proposal.

My honey says he''d like to wait for an appropriate time for such a special moment.

I think I may be driven mad.

Any advice.

I''m just very exited and think/dream about this all the time!

 

[MelissaSue]

I cried, I whined.. I was definitely unable to cease the engagement ring talk.. but posting here in the Ladies In Waiting thread DEFINITELY helped!

Girl, I have SEEN the prototype for your ring.

I think you should pin him down and tickle him until he produces the ring. Alternately, pout. Pouting works so well.

Just kidding. It''s so worth the wait.

 

[hearts set]

OK, so this is a new week..an oportunity to turn over a new leaf and behave like a grown woman.

No ring talk, no ring talk, no ring talk......

Thanks girls.

You made me smile this morning

Hit PS and hang out here when you are thinking about ring dreams, and that perfect moment. He is proably going to take a little while planning the most perfect and special moment for the two of you. It is his love for you that makes him want to wait and give you that perfecrt fairy tale proposal.

Good luck waiting, try not to tear apart the house looking for it.

I never really had to "wait" for a proposal but I always had to wait for the ring. We had SO much bad luck trying to just get ONE freaking engagement ring...aye dios mio. I was pretty much at the point where I gave up on the ring. Now that I have it...I baby it.

 

[aphisiglovessae]

It''s really funny. I used to bug him about it all the time. Then I just dropped the subject. About two weeks later, he proposed!

Hearts Set, I FEEL your pain. Around the three year mark it was like a demon took over my body and I became VERY emotional and HIGHLY obsessed with getting engaged. I would cry to his mom, my mom, our sisters, him, everyone. I was unreasonable. I think unless you have been in that situation you cannot understand. They thought I was crazy. I really wasn''t but it is hard to want more and have him not ready. I knew he wanted to marry me. We were living together. Talked about children. But waiting is SOOO hard. Anyways...fast forward ALMOST a year on valentines day he took me to the jewelry store to buy my setting (I picked out my tacori already and he knew about it) to show that he WAS serious about me and DID want to marry me. I knew he still had to get the center stone and then Tacori takes 4-6 weeks and really, really thought as soon as he got the ring I would have my proposal. Didn''t exactly work out that way. It burnt a hole in his pocket for months but that is only b/c he had a plan. And his plan was perfect. So of course it is worth the wait but I totally understand how frusterating and nerve-racking it is. You are a normal girl...I think the longer you are together (years wise) the harder the wait is...

 

[hearts set]

Thanks for all of the encouragement girls!!

Good to know that others have felt the same...sounds so trivial with all the ''real'' problems in the world.

and matadora, your are so right and so kind to remind me that yes, it is his affection for me that makes him want to give me a nice proposal along with a nice ring.

He''s a doll. Love him so much!

 

[gingerBcookie]

Don''t let anyone make you think what you''re feeling is trivial! Definitely, keep in perspective, but also know your feelings are valid and SHARED! A LOT of us have gone through wha you''re going through and we are here to help you make it though with as much dignity as possible

. I don''t know how well I did on the keeping my dignity part, but I made it through and you will too!

 

[icekid]

haha, I asked everyday!

But he was just as bad... and kept asking me "do you want your ring right now?"... haha, but I really enjoyed the anticipation personally. Your last few days as a girlfriend!

 

[laney]

Well is 8 years long enough?

We finally got the stone (which I was really involved in) and I too got the ultimatum. NO RING TALK. NO asking, HIS TURN NOW.

I was bad. And hinted. But then I stopped. I realized that *now* he wanted to do this for me, and I should respect him in this most important time in our lives. I stepped backed and realized that my whineing and hinting and joking were making it seem less about marriage and more about the "RING". He wanted this to be an important time ... and was prepared to wait until I realized it to.

So, I very reluctantly, let it go. The ring was in the house, in the safe, I knew the code... but I let it go.

And he ended up surprising me.

And the rest.. well... happily.. ever.. just kidding.. butyou get the idea..

 

[jcrow]

laney- how''d u know the code and not peek?? i can''t imagine the agony!

 

[laney]

LOL... ok.. I did OCCASIONALLY... while he was out.... sneak it out and put it on ... JUST FOR A SECOND. But that''s when it first got home.. and he put it immediately away. I didn''t have time to say good bye.... So.. once.. ok TWO times I did that. But I did stop after week #2....

What can I say.. I can be rational.. but I''m still a woman!

It''s okay laney, I did the same thing. I knew where he hid it (he should have been more careful and not use the same hiding place for EVERYTHING. So I did sneak a couple looks as well. He doesn''t know though

 

[hearts set]

These stories are cute!!

For shame!! Peeking at the ring!!

You ladies would be very proud of me. I know the ring is in the house and I promised not to snoop...and I honestly haven''t.

The other night, E was sweet enough to give me major details about his reaction when he first saw the ring, what he thought of it...etc.

That has seemed to satisfiy me for now.

I''m glad to know that I''m not the only one!

I seriously can''t wait!!

 

[christina_ken]

Good moring Ladies!! Ok, ok, I am going to have a breakdown. I have made up my mind to give my bf a break about the e-ring talk. I don''t know how I am going to manage. I even think I noticed a grey hair!!! HELP!! I think he wants to have me checked out to be put on Paxil until I get the ring...LOL, just joking. He is the greatest!! I am thankful for this website though...

 

[hearts set]

Yes, this website has been wonderful.

I''m so glad that I''ve found it!

It''s great for diamond talk!!

my boyfriend just asked me a minute ago..."are you on pricescope again??"

heck yeah!!

 

[yellowfan]

Heart,

you know guys hide things in your stuff knowing your snooping thru his!

Laney- ha ha! I knew you had to look, I would look as well can''t resist!

 

[LoudNoises]

I''m so happy to hear that I wasn''t alone! I got mine from WhiteFlash also. I thought I was a weirdo control freak for picking my own engagement ring. (I''m SUPER picky and indecisive!)
I''m lucky to have found this forum, because otherwise I would have picked a solitaire from Costco (1 ct, cheap, quality, but no selections in setting!) or Tiffany&Co.( less than 1 ct, but setting i wanted). But now I have a beautiful, quality 1.19 tiffany knife within the budget. I''m also a super sneak but somehow he managed to hide the email pictures from WF where I couldn''t find it.
I hope you have a beautiful proposal. Sounds like he''s planning something special.

 

[hearts set]

Loud noises!

Funny you should mention....we''re leaving for Paris today.

I logged on to post my excitement, so I''ll just post it here!

I''m under strict orders not to wake him up (I''m an early bird, been up for hours! I get so lonely!) So I come here in hopes that some PSers may be interested in my glee!!

I''ll be meeting the Parisian family (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmother) and my french is baby talk...so wish me luck as I make every attempt to be charming...I''m nervous, I must admit. There''s lots of talk of meeting me so I don''t want to disappoint!

Anyway, still no proposal. I''m sort of hoping that it will happen while we''re away to put an end to the utter torment that I''m enduring!!

We''re also driving into the German countryside for a few days...that would also make for a romantic and sweet proposal..but who am I to make suggestions!!!

E told me last night that since I haven''t spoken of the ring lately (See, I''ve been trying to be good) that he figured I no longer wanted it and sent it back to WF....I''m not kidding when I tell you that I felt real tears well up in my eyes...even though I so knew that we was teasing me (unmercifully as usual)

Anyway, please wish me luck and send me good vibes as we embark on a much needed get away...and hopefully I''ll come back with some extra baggage, i mean blingage!!

A bientot!

Bonne chance avec le diamant !!!!!
