The Ladies in Waiting List!!!

[taovandel]

Man, everyone is dropping like flies. I wonder what number I''ll actually be when I get engaged (should be the first week of October)

 

[Scorpio_22]

I would love to be on the list... I have been with my bf for close to 2 years (July 7th). I have 1 kid he''s got 2. We moved in together in November and he knows how important this is to me. Seems to find financial excuses everytime I bring it up... latest one I can understand, his ex is taking him to court for child support.

but still, am I wrong to want to get married?? I''ve told him before I wanted to get married before I''m 30, I''m 27. I gave up having more kids for him but I''m not giving up this dream.

Please put me on the list!!!

 

[mirre]

Oh My! I haven''t been on here in FOREVER! I can''t believe I''ve moved up to #22.

I''ve been so busy finishing up school and working that I haven''t been able to get on here. I graduated from college May 3rd and was looking for a new job when my current job decided to promote me. So I''m sticking around my current job for awhile, takes the stress and pressure off of finding a new one with a position that I think I''ll like.

Best of luck to all who are left on the list and Congratulations to all who have recently become engaged!

 

[blondebunny]

Hi, Would you please add me to the list!

 

[RealRadiance]

Please add me to the list - I''ve been so busy lurking around on SMTR and RT forums that I must have missed this section

My BF and I have been dating a little over a year, I took a job to be closer to him for the last 6 months to see if we could really make or break it (LD relationships stink). I head home in 2 weeks exactly from today - and as much as I want to hold my breath I''m thinking he might not even have the ring yet!!! AHH!!

Regardless - we''re looking at ovals, ok well I''m looking at ovals, he just listens to me gush and smiles, I''m thinking 1.25 carat oval, micro pave, halo (I know it''s trendy right now, but I TRULY love this setting!) in 18K white gold. I''ve seen some amazing rings on here! Love this place!!!

 

[LeggoMyEggo]

Hi, I''m a newbie but I''d love to be on the list... it''ll probably be a while for me though. Good luck to all of you ladies!

sunnyd...congrats on the "practice" proposal. I''m not taking you off the list until the real one though!

I know what you mean to be upset on an occasion when you really think it is going to happen. My birthday was a few weeks ago and I really thought that it was going to happen then. I mean really thought it was going to happen not like the last couple years at every holiday where I thought it may happen.

FF had other plans for this summer and didn''t realize that it would take so long for us to get our dream ring. He is a little upset that he didn''t know how long it took. Apparently all his friends when to jewelers in the diamond district and had their rings in two weeks. Well, now, I have about 6-8 weeks to go until the ring is complete. I''m anxious partly because we should have been engaged earlier. He told me last night that we need to start looking more seriously at reception places because we are planning a wedding for September of 2009 and by the time we get the ring that will almost be a year away. Anyway, he''s kind of upset that I know everything about the ring and that I won''t be surprised. I keep telling him that I''d rather be surprised about the circumstances and focus on what he had to say to me anyway. That way neither of us has to be worried about wether or not I''ll like the ring.

 

[emeraldlover1]

I figured the senario above stinks but I''ve been with him for 5 plus years, what is another 2 months?

 

[sunnyd]

I totally understand em1! For me too, this was the first holiday where it was like, holy crap, this could be the real deal!!

Oh well...

And 2 months will be nothing! Just gotta stay busy... hmmm now what can we do to stay busy... LOL...

 

[stryeyes102]

Just a heads up Emeraldlover, Nitza1124 is engaged. She got a beautiful three stone which she posted about

 

[dreaming of the day]

Hi,

I have been lurking for some time, but I think its time I get added to list!!! Thanks

I''m sorry he''s feeling upset but, honestly, the whole ''surprise'' thing would''ve added so much more stress to an already stressful situation, because you wouldn''t have the comfort you have of KNOWING it is coming soon, and he would''ve (probably) had second, third, fourth (etc) thoughts about the style of setting, which stone, and so on. I think it''ll work out for the best. And two months is nothing! Enjoy your last few weeks as a girlfriend before starting the next chapter of your life.

This is what I''ve been doing to stay busy:

- Hanging out with my friends. (This is a hard one though because many of my friends moved out of NYC in recent years)

- Going to the gym and taking spinning classes (helps me de-stress)

- Working my but off so that I actually have some money to contribute to a wedding.

- Walking by the jewelers each day to stare at my setting in the window.


Thats pretty much it. We are going up north for 4th of july and I think that is when he was planning on proposing since all of my family will be there. Well, that isn''t the case now but I am going to do so much fun stuff that I hope it will keep my mind off it.

In the mean time, we have a wedding to attend this weekend and one of my best friends weddings in coming up in July. I''m in it and its on the cape in Mass and will be beautiful. Not sure what I am going to do for August yet.

Its going to be a fun summer regardless because I know that I am getting engaged. FF has requested that we start looking more seriously at reception locations so I imagine that we may already have a date and a place before we get engaged. I guess that is plenty to pass the time.

Thanks Gwen. These are all the things that I''ve been explaining to him. He just wishes it was a little different. I told him that he will have plenty of things to surprise me with when it comes to the actual wedding.

Thanks! I''m going to wait till we get some more updates to update the list. It takes up a ton of space to keep re-posting it. I''ll send her congrats and remove her then.

Could I be added to the list please? Brand new as of today

All that sounds GREAT!!! You''ll be engaged before you know it, my lovely!

 

[Lauren8211]

FYI - Lauren8211 (#9 is now elledizzy5. had to change my name to protect the innocent... namely myself!

 

[Dreamgirl]

I went from 75 to 58 from the last time I looked!!!! Wow, plenty of girls getting engaged around here!

lol Hope there isn't a time limit for being on the list. lol!

 

[parrot tulips]

Please add me to the list.

My boyfriend and I have been together just shy of a year. We''re in our early 30''s and both want a family. I finally worked up the courage last night to ask him directly if he saw that happening with me, both marriage and children. The conversation was a little bit awkward, being the first time we''ve seriously discussed it (and the first time he''s discussed marriage with a girlfriend at all), but he said yes, he hoped that''s where we were headed. He was thinking maybe Spring? So, hopefully in the next year or so...

 

[lasscreative]

Could you kindly add me to the list too! I have been with my man for 3.5 years! and He has seen one jeweller so far and we have done lots of searhching for the perfect Cushion cut stone for me ring, so I guess that makes me a lady in waiting!!
add me add me lol!

 

[Izzy03]

I have been registered for about 6 months and lurking almost a year (yikes!) I originally thought that being added to the list might jinx me, but seeing that I am still not engaged I don''t think fairy dust would hurt! I thought for sure I would be engaged by now! Ouch!

Emeraldlover: I have broken down.....Would you kindly add me to the list?

Besides, it will be fun to see how quickly I move up the list!

 

[emeraldlover1]

Big Congrats to Nitza1124!

Ok, ladies, let''s welcome the new members! We have a lot of additions latley so it looks like the LIW list is the place to be! Hopefully the list will bring you lots of good luck and you won''t be here that long.

[emeraldlover1]

Freke, I''m only asking this of you because I know you love to do it. Could you check the names on the top half of the list for me and let me know who is in contention for removal? I really don''t want to remove anyone but the list is getting long again. Feel free to say no but I know you like jobs.

Love you lots!

 

[FrekeChild]

Lol EM. I don''t know that I love to do it, but I do like to bring order to things, and I certainly don''t mind taking time away from thinking about Durkheim (I wish I''d taken a more interesting summer school class). So no problem. I''ll get right on it. 6 months or 3 months? (I''ll just list everyone over 3 months and let you decide!)

 

[emeraldlover1]

Grasias, mi amiga! You are emeraldlover1''s super delegate!

 

[FrekeChild]

Yay for being emeraldlover1''s super delegate!!!
I don''t have a lot for you, unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it...

Around the 6 month mark:

66 holacandita (4/3/0 5 posts

Problems:
75 woodwolf *****does not exist any where except on the list (I think she was deleted-I found where she was added but never found any posts from her)

Hope it helps EM1!!!!!!

 

[emeraldlover1]

Big thanks to FrekeChild who is my super delegate. Yes, I''ve created a new role. The next person to take over the list can decide whether or not they want a super delegate or delete the position all together. Hope you all don''t mind. Anyway, Freke does list checks for me every month or so and that helps keep the list current so please post often. Here is the updated list. If you have under a 100 posts and don''t post in three months you will be taken off. If you have over 100 we will give you six months. Here is some fairy dust to those all on the list!

Jennypoo...I hope you are doing well and will have good news to report next time you visit. You let me know if you want to stay on the list or not. It’s completely up to you.

[loveydovey]

Oh wow! I''m SUCH a lady in waiting! Please add me to the list, emeraldlover

Me and my honey have been together for 3 years in July and I just have a feeling the big proposal is coming this year.....that''s was causing my LIW syndrome! I mean watching Bridezilla, Platinum Weddings, Who''s Wedding is it Anyway, proposal videos on youtube LOL! That''s how I accidentally found this website when I did a search for "proposal ideas"

What a cool site
