Hello all,

I finally decided to join the LIW list as I've been hanging around PS for awhile now (mainly in RT and SMTB to ogle at rings).

I'm an Australian LIW - from Melbourne. BF and I have been together since early 2007, and wayyyy back in the early days, he said he wanted to marry me. He spoke about putting a big rock on my finger! The hitch was, he was separated and not divorced.
So, fast forward to mid June... we've now been living together for three years, and he recently received a decent redundancy package, and fortunately, has found another job, so he mentioned that we should use some of his money to buy me a ring!!! This led to me finding PS, getting in touch with vendors and am now waiting for Brian Gavin to complete my setting and send it to Good Old Gold to have my AVC set in it!
Oh, and BF's divorce was finalised on 17 July! So, we are in the clear on that front.

So now - I'm in waiting - waiting for the ring, and also for a proper proposal. I kept saying that he would have to ask again as it was "improper" for him to ask while not being divorced. I have also been telling him about all the amazing proposals I've read about on PS and the trouble people go to... but am not holding my breath for one of those. BF is not the romantic type, and would probably ask me while we were doing something totally ordinary and every day...

I must admit - I did get a bit jealous of one of my girlfriends who moved in and got proposed to after 4 months together. She's now getting married in 6 weeks. Happily, I am over my envy and am thrilled for her, but am now waiting for MY proposal.
 
Welcome to LIW! I hope your wait is short, and I'm glad things have worked for you and your BF!
 
Welcome to the list!

You are sooooo lucky to be getting a ring from BGD and GOG! They're the two vendors whose work I perve over the most! Sadly, I can't expect anything from them as we live in South Africa and US carrier will insure jewellery deliveries to South Africa. :(

Can't wait to see your beautiful ring - I hope he hurries with your new proposal!
 
Welcome! No need to be jealous over romantic proposal stories, although they are very nice. My mother and my step-dad were laying in bed one night, when my mother asked him if he wanted to get married. The next day they picked out her ring and they have been married for 4 years now, and together for 4. They couldn't be happier!! :)) I do not want a big to-do proposal either. I like the "at home, just the two of us" type thing :))
 
Welcome! I can't wait to see your ring! I absolutely love AVC's!
 
Welcome! An AVC is my dream diamond. Congrats!
 
Congrats! Send us some pics or a link to the set you're getting. Hope we get to hear your proposal story soon enough!
 
welcome!

My bf is not romantic at all too. We'll see what happen. :lol:
 
Welcome :) I am also from Australia - I live in Adelaide!! Nice to see a fellow Aussie on here. Lets hope we are not here too long!
 
Hi :wavey: I hope your ring is done soon and its on your finger sooner rather than later!!
 
Welcome! Hope to see your lovely AVC soon!
 
Thanks for your lovely welcomes fellow LIWs!
The BGD setting is the Classic Truth Sleek Micro Pave http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/home/ring-details/?product_id=5542
I was going to get a WF setting, but that fell through so decided on this BGD one instead.

Isn't it funny - I haven't told my real life girlfriends that I'm ring buying - as well, there is no real proposal yet... but happy to share online with you gals.
