He''s SO understaning:O!

[Halo]

My BF and I aren't engaged yet but he's been looking at rings (as have I, yay Pricescope

) and he always brings up the topic of our wedding and how excited he is. So cute!

We both have big families so I know that making sure they can all come, since many are OOT, will require a lot of advanced notice. As such I've started per-planning the wedding. Well, at least looking at venues, colours, cakes, invitations, dresses etc so that when we finally get engaged we can get the venues and date we want and also be able to tell people to hold the date ASAP.

After he caught me looking at Pricescope he confessed he'd been looking at rings too for a few months, I've been talking about wedding things so much! And what does he say "Honey, that's so sweet. You're so excited. I am too, it's going to be great. I know how much you want a big wedding, so you plan exactly the one you want. It's the bride's day, I want you to be happy. And I think it's a good idea that you've been doing all of this pre-planning so we can get all of the things we want when the time comes. Hey, how about a white and pink colour scheme?"

Wow! What guy says that?! Lol. He's just so great He's SO understanding and is so excited about everything I show him, he's on board with all of it. Even a pink wedding?? He's not worried about it being "too girly" even though I am, lol.

Hehe, he's just too cute and it always makes me feel extra lucky to have him

Was anyone else's FI this understanding too? It sure takes a lot of stress off of planning a wedding, that's for sure!

Ha ha! Aren''t they adorable! Your SO sounds really fantastic and excited about your future, that is so sweet. My FF is the same, he looks at everything I shove in his face about our wedding. He very patiently went into every jewelery store I wanted to try on rings in, and even asked questions. When we talk about dates he gets really excited! I want to do it Jan. 2010, he wants to do it the mounth before!
You know, they say we are silly and weddings are girlie, but when it comes down to it, I think they love just like we do!

 

[Halo]

sugarjo: Aww, that''s so cute! It makes it so much better when they''re excited about the planning! I think he''ll like the day as much as I will when it comes It sounds like we have 2 great guys!

 

[SailorsSweet<3]

Aww! Thats adorable! What a great guy

Just out of curiosity (because I''ve been thinking about this a lot too) how much time are you anticipating you''ll need to book your venue for the date you want? And how much notice are you giving your oot relatives?

 

[Smurfysmiles]

wow my FI said almost exactly that same thing the other day except he suggested blue and pink (eh not really my thing)
He always says its your day and i remind him that its our day and he says yeah but youre the one whose been planning since you were 6

i love it when they say things like that!

That''s very cute and exciting that he''s really into it. My brother was very excited and involved in his wedding planning ]and my sister-in-law said it was such a relief that he was there every step of the way. They got engaged last Christmas and were married September 6th. Beautiful wedding!

Just this week my FF mentioned that he''s up for a promotion at work , but he has to take an exam (only offered 2x''s a year) in order to qualify. While he''d love to get the promotion, he said he wants to get married more and he wants to be involved in the whole planning process. His boss told him he could postpone the exam until April 2010 because he had good reason. Then FF says to me, "I guess that means I should buy you a ring very soon."

How much time until the proposal, I don''t know.

I just hope it''s not too long if we''re planning a Fall ''09 wedding.

Anyways, I''m excited for all of you ladies and hope to hear some exciting new developments, stories, hints along the way. Keep us posted!

Aww...he''s a keeper! It''s so nice when they are just as excited as you are!

All my of my relatives are out of town and all over the world - so I know your need to plan. Plus, I''m a planner at heart anyways...(I have itineraries for EVERYTHING!

) My SO is so understanding of my plethora of spreadsheets, and he''ll be the one emailing possible venue websites while at work. It''s great!

You know he''s the one for you when he suggest PINK in your wedding.

Haha! I know what you mean! My FF is the one who brought it up first... and he continues to do so. I pre-plan silently in the background (I''m very indecisive, so I''m really just idea shopping) but he''s the one that will sit down across the couch from my where he can look at me (not cuddled up where we can''t see each others faces) and will plan and plan and plan. He brought it up first in May, and then scared himself... days later he was over it and says that''s when he was convinced that I really was it... the girl he''d spend the rest of his life with... if he could get over his legit fears in a matter of days - without any pressure - he knew it was right.

He brought it up again one night - we stayed up until the wee hours of the night planning every detail. When we ran out of details to go over he asked if I had been writing anything down... OF COURSE NOT!!! So the next day he brought me a pen and paper and said "write down everything you can remember... every last detail".

He now starts talking about it at random times... we have the sweetest most honest talks. He has a timeline and plans and everything! He wants the proposal to be a total surprise, but he''s told me it''ll be after his bonus (late January), but before my birthday (mid March), and not on Valentines day (he know''s I''m not a fan). He wants the ring to be a surprise, but he wants me to go to the designers to have my finger sized personally by the jeweler... he doesn''t want any surprises like the ring not fitting or anything!

It really does take a bit of pressure off when you have someone as excited as you are about the whole thing... and even better when they have opinions!!! I''m too indecisive to do this alone!!!

Halo it sounds like you have a real sweetie. It makes pre-planning a lot more fun when your BF is just as excited as you

...It sounds like the next couple months are going to be pretty busy here on the LIW board
