Let me start off sayign my BF is tight lipped about this stuff and does not bring these conversations up, so the following is pretty significant progress and very exciting news, for me at least!
After dinner the other night with my BF we walked past DeBeers and he asked if they are the ones with the conflict diamonds. I quickly said yes and then realized that was not normal information for my boyfriend to be privy to, so had to inquire how he knew that and what had he been reading! He instantly got this big guilty grin that you get when someone knows you know something, but you can't say what you know! Like a giddy little girl, I couldn't stop playfully interogating him. I had a long day that day, but this perked me up and I think I was practically bouncing! He mentioned knowing the 4 C's, so I asked where he was reading and he was under lock and key! I told him I have good sites for him to read (hello PS!) and he said he had his resources. A few months ago when we talked about rings, I sent him a few styles I liked from various places, including Leon Mege (of course!). He said some of the pics I sent him had websites, so he looked there. I asked about Leon Mege and he said he looked...and I squealed! I kept asking questions, but wasn't getting anywhere and was told I'm on a need to know basis and these are all things I do not need to know! I asked WHEN I will get to know the answers to these things and he's really on lock down. I asked if he has a plan, a timeline..and he just smiled and wouldn't cave , which is better. He said he does like the ring style I chose. I reminded him that buying something like this takes time and isn't an instant purchase like socks or sweaters. He said he knew. I was really curious where he's planning on making this purchase, brick and mortar store or online. No caving there either. I'm happy I didn't get any answers from him and ruin my own surprise, but was so happy to know that he's finally looking! Just the teaser is enough to hold me over!
I posted awhile back introducing myself, and to catch you up, in March we talked about a general 6 month timeline to getting engaged, which is coming up pretty soon... very exciting! Thanks for reading ladies, it's great being able to share these little updates with you! :appl:
 
Thats soooooo exciting! :appl:
 
Oh this is very exciting! Its so sweet that he is taking the time to go over what you like, ensure conflict free diamonds etc... I bet you're simply brimming over with joy, I can see it in your post!! Congrats on getting a few details out, and I hope you don't go too crazy waiting for the ring and the proposal! Well if you do.... that's what we're here for right? ;))
 
Ah that is so exciting!!! And kudos to your bf for keeping his lips sealed haha. My bf is being pretty tight lipped about his proposal plan but I want it that way! Especially since I was so involved in the designing of the ring. Congrats!! That is a great "development" :appl: !
 
Thanks ladies!
Rhubarb pie, I also want a complete surprise about the proposal! I gave my input about the ring design and it stops there. He knows I don't want to know progress of when he buys it, brings it home, or anything. Not until it's on my finger!
I told him if it's somehow possible it would be cool to get it recorded/ photographed and I don't want it at a sporting event! The rest is up to him! I was discouraged before since he would never bring it up that he wasn't even looking and just knowing this totally calms those nerves and feels great! I've been excited, anxious, and worlds of other emotions since we put together a timeline, but now I'm just excited knowing he's on top of it!
So nice to have you girls to share these things with! Some of my other friends don't get as into this as you all do. Do you feel that way too? ;))
 
Sounds great! Rings/proposal aside, how long have you two been discussing marriage? Is this a new development for you or have you both been on the same page for awhile?
 
We started talking about it maybe a year ago or so as something we see in our future. We moved in together in February and it has been a more concrete conversation since then with a timeline we came up with in March. The actual ring talk started in March, but he was sorta..hmm...being a guy about all that and didn't really show any signs of excitement about rings until the other night. Until then he'd just be very cool and composed about it. Definitely not the kind of guy who is enthusiastically grabbing my hand running into a jewelry store. He's doing all this work pretty covertly.
 
Exciting News!!

Dust to you!!!*************************************
 
I feel like a broken record... I keep posting "exciting news!" but it's true! A lot of us LIWs have exciting things to share lately!

It's cute that he's doing this on his own and won't give you any hints at all. Surprise proposals seem to be a lot of fun. You'll have to tell us how he does it! :bigsmile:
 
congrats!!! Hopefully you'll be engaged in NO TIME!

Which Leon Mege do you like?

Thanks for all the dust laides! Right back to all of you!
Even though we've been talking about it for awhile, I don't think it's been as tangible as it is now. He also is being very protective of his phone and email in particular, which didn't used to be a huge thing. He's told me I CANNOT look there as of the other day. I won't go snooping, but now that I know there's something to see it has me so curious!

That's the dream ring! The style anyway..the size would also be a DREAM, not the reality of what I expect to get. I love those claw prongs!

Close runner up, the difference being this has the single claws and the other has the double. leon%20single%20claw.jpg

Beezygal, what's your dream ring???
 
ooh so exciting!!! I also am trying very hard to not read BF's e-mail (not snooping but we live together and sometimes he has his computer up and if I glance over...) but am NOT doing this at this time :) just don't want to know! (plus that's how I found out where he was taking me to dinner for my b-day...)
 
ohhh peach tea you BF sounds like mine!! very secretive about it all but cant help himself sometimes and just has to say something!!! How exciting... lets hope it happens soon!! And i LOVE you ring :love:
 
Thanks Vanilla, although it's definitely not MY ring, yet! My fingers are crossed! I have no clue what he'll get, but it will be something similar to those pics. I think the claw prongs really make that ring and he agrees. Last night he was asking me even more questions about my preferences. I'm so curious what he's up to and I really love having no clue. He seemed excited talking about and was smiley. I asked if he likes looking at this stuff and he actually said yes! Woohoo!
I'm definitely not going to snoop in the email and would be so upset with myself if I ruined a surprise like that, but it's so hard not to "glance". The suspense is killing me!
Beezygal, your ring to be is sooo pretty! Like a flower!

Thanks for all the nice words ladies! I hope I have something real to show you all sometime soonish. So excited today! :bigsmile:
