Hello all! I''ve been lurking here for a couple days now since I started researching diamonds, weddings, how much they cost, all that fun stuff. I''ve been dating my guy for 5.5 years, so we''ve had "the talk" and know that we eventually want to get married. He''s even got our wedding site picked out, the number of guests, and we''ve had long-winded debates about wedding dresses. I didn''t really expect to get married until at least a few years down the line, as the bf (due to some mistakes early in his college career) is still finishing school. He''s set to graduate summer of 2007 and will be getting his teaching credential, either while teaching or straight after graduation.
Well, we had THE "the talk" this evening and I laid it out for him and told him I wanted to get married when I was 25 or 26 and that I wanted a long engagement so we''d have time to plan the wedding (which will probably be some awful monstrosity - he has a lot of relatives). His reply was something along the lines of "sure". Basically he''s ready when I''m ready. So I suppose this is a bit of a guy-in-waiting thing. On the other hand, I''d still like to think of myself as a lady-in-waiting, except I''m more waiting for the right time. Errr...if that makes any sense.
I guess I won''t feel completely ready to be engaged until he''s closer to graduation and I''ve signed with an agent or publisher for my first novel. I''m 3/4 of the way through the rough draft, so I''d better get crackin''!
Meanwhile, I''ll see if I can''t send him this way to get some education. Neither of us knows much about jewelry, so the little research I''ve done has been a real eye-opener for me!
