Me: 30
Him: 31
Location: NY
Started dating: August 2004
How you met: At work, on location. We were long distance (bi-coastal) for a year, then he moved to NY to be with me.
Expected engagement date: I thought 4/5/08 (we''re going away), now I don''t think it''s happening. At this point it''s anyone''s guess.
Anything else?: I''m so excited I found this board. I''ve been a pre-engagement anxious mess for a few months now, and reading all of your stories has helped me get over the hump and chill out a little bit. I''ve decided to enjoy the anticiation and let go of my control freak ways (at least for a little while...)

Me: 21- aspromised22- soon to be college graduate and PhD student
Him: 21- Marine and accountant (what a combination!)
Location: California, Arizona, Iraq
Started dating: February 2003
How you met: Mutual friend introduced us sophomore year of high school, I avoided him like the plague for a couple of months and then finally dated him!
Expected engagement date: By the end of this year! Whenever he gets back from Iraq!
Anything else you want to add?: My boyfriend and I are what they call "old" for our age. I am graduating college with a double degree in a few weeks and am currently applying to PhD programs. He is a Marine and is currently deployed and finishing up his degree while applying to Master's programs. We've been together for five years and have literally sped up everything else in our life so that we can get married. I'm in love with a princess halo diamond ring and he's already been to several jewelers looking for the perfect one. We hope to be married sometime in 2010 depending on where I am for grad school. Sometimes I feel so young to be thinking about graduate school and marriage and other times I am so ready!

Hello!
Me: A, 24 - College Student/Restaurant Hostess
Him: K, 25 - Computer, IT, & Electronics Guru/Army Reservist
Location: Houston, TX
Started dating: December of 2005
How you met: On MySpace
Things were pretty rocky at the beginning though. He wasn''t looking for a serious relationship, and shortly after having met, he started a job that totally consumed his life; therefore, we casually dated for 7 months, but I didn''t get to see him that often
We then ended up breaking up; however, a month or so later, he quit that particular job and decided that he wanted to give the relationship another go. We''ve been inseparable ever since
Expected engagement date: I''m hoping that we''ll get engaged by our third anniversary. If not, sometime next year would suffice
Anything else you want to add? I love my boy to pieces and can''t wait to spend the rest of my life with him, but lately I''ve been plagued by very strong rumors that his unit will be getting deployed within the next year or two
That, coupled with the whole LIW issue.. well, hopefully y''all will help me stay sane
P.S. Sorry for the overuse of smilies! They''re just too cute

Me: 24, soon-to-be lawyer (just have to pass the Bar!)
Him: 27, lawyer
Location: --

Expected engagement date: "Soon"--haha. I''m hoping that means in the next three months or so.

US-Cutie: 31, PhD Chemical Engineer (+MBA)
UK-Sexy: 38, PhD Chemist
Location: Hartford CT (I''ll soon be in NJ
How you met: Met last November when he came over from the UK (yes- he''s got a very sexy accent!). He was being transferred to the US because his research location was closing down. After meeting during an uncomfortable work dinner, I talked friends into going out for "drinks" on Friday so that I could invite him. That started the e-mail communication on a 2x daily basis. Note: I had recently had a broken engagement and certainly wasn''t expecting to meet someone.
Started dating: December 28th was our first kiss (we met in Madrid for New Years- how romantic!). He did not make it to the US until February due to all of the visa paperwork. We were getting desperate to see each other by then!
Expected engagement date: Sometime before August (as I''ll be moving out of state for a new job - I accepted it prior to meeting him)
Anything else you want to add?: I never believed in "love at first sight", but this is just amazing! Also, It''s strange to have him pushing me to pick out a e-ring (the ex-f told me that I pressured him into proposing after 3 years of dating). UK-Sexy and I are spending every possible moment together now before I move and have plans for the future. After he obtains his green card, we will look for jobs at my new company... The long distance will be tough, but I think that we are going into it with our eyes open.

LOL - Maybe we can be the Ladies In Waiting Nation
We should get membership cards that entitle us to unlimited ice cream when we get frustrated waiting. Also, as members of LIWN we do not gain any weight at all...no matter how many sundaes we have!
YES!!! I love that idea. All the ice cream we want and never gain an ounce...we just look more gorgeous the more we eat!
And LIWN members never have frizzy hair no matter how humid it is outside!!! Just perfect locks, whenever...wherever!!!

So I stumbed across this thread which is over a month old and I decided to revive it! Hope that''s okay!
Him - 41
Me - 35
Location - San Diego
Started Dating - Oct 2006
How we met - Through mutual friends at a party with a little added help from Myspace.
Expected engagement - hopefully sometime this year. I thought the ring process was just about deciding that you were going to do it...but after discovering this wonderful place, I see that there''s a lot more to it if you want to do it right and get the most for your money. So I think the process is going to take a bit longer.
Anything else? - I''m pretty new here...but I LOVE IT! It''s like a secret treasure! so much fun and soooo much incredible information. Wow!
Here''s a photo..

Me and Him: 30, graduate students
Location: O-H
Started dating: Halloween ''99
How we met: School
Expected engagement: He always says "whenever I was ready," and since I am now identifying myself as a LIW, that must mean soon. We just have to decide on a ring (which is so much harder than I ever thought it would be).
Anything else? We have so much fun together; I have never doubted that we would be together forever.
