Hi Ladies,
This just in... Hunny has booked us a New Year's trip to San Francisco! I am beyond excited, but I could definitely use some perspective from fellow ladies. This case of LIW has me reading between some potentially non-existent lines.
1.) At first I thought how impulsive.. especially for BF! Then again, I can recall a few trips of ours that were very spur of the moment and have since become my most dear memories with him. I know he appreciates these memories as much as I do, especially since we tend to put much more stock (and funds) in to going places together rather than buying things for each other. So maybe this trip isn't as impulsive (for us) as I thought, but it is definitely a first since he booked the trip in its entirety by himself. I'm usually the one glued to the computer researching flights, hotels, events.. etc.
2.) San Francisco holds a GIANT place in my heart. It was the first place I moved to where I didn't have any family near. During the 2 months before I moved to SF, BF and I had just started to casually date. I had no intentions of getting myself into a serious relationship, as I had already set my heart on moving to California. Our relationship developed very quickly in those 2 months, but I still moved anyway. We committed to a long-distance relationship and saw each other on a monthly basis. To both of our surprise, our relationship continued to grow and strengthen regardless of the distance, and he followed me out there 9 months later. We spent 2 wonderful years in the City by the Bay. Although we recently moved away from SF, it continues to be my most favorite city. I can't help thinking that BF knows how meaningful it would be get engaged there. I can think of a dozen spots, restaurants, and lounges that would all be perfect not only for scenery, but for the sentimental value attached to them.
Both of these reasons have me guessing that my hunny might have something up his sleeve. He never ventures to make plans without my input. We visited San Fran fairly recently, and didn't plan on going back until next year sometime. The last time we were there, we talked about maybe having our wedding in one of our favorite parks. We quickly realized that a wedding in SF would probably not be likely since we no longer live there, and both sides of our family would need to travel far to attend. I think at that point we both derived (well I did at least) that SF would be the perfect place for our engagement.
Just in typing this post I can see that I'm probably over-analyzing. Many of you have read about my first "false alarm" proposal, and rest assured, I will never let my LIW excitement get the best of me.
Thank you all for reading and creating this supportive space for fellow LIWs.
Cheers,
Sarai M.
