Welcome to my life! Did the same thing.

But only three engagements so far.
 
When my fb newsfeed is full of people with wedding/engagement photos:

Wow deja vu, we had this discussion in this thread last year :laugh:

I think he plans to propose this weekend (I am not sure though - he is being very secretive :laugh:). Okay here is the story. He proposed about four years ago, we were engaged for a year, then we separated for a year (I would just say that I've always had commitment issues 😳). Then we got back together and now he wants to get me a new ring and do the whole proposal again (I do have my old ring, but don't wear it).

It's kind of like this: new ring, new beginning - and this time we are both more mature, and he wants to do things right. So, I think I am ready (as ready as I will ever be), and that's why I am so excited 🙂

I was like, "Really?? What kind of ring, engagement ring??" He said, "Yes" I was like: "Are you going to propose?" He said, "Yes" I jumped out of bed and kissed him saying, "This is so exciting" He goes, "I know, I can't wait" and proceeded to tell me how much he loves me, and that he wants me to pick out the ring, so that he can't go wrong, etc.. It was very sweet 😍

What a great story! Thanks for sharing. Congrats!!

The day before Christmas my hubby went shopping and picked out three rings he really liked, then he asked to pick out the three I liked best (which happened to be the ones that he liked, crazy!) Then we left, so I didn't think he bought anything yet. We went to his parents house for xmas and we had agreed not to get gifts for each other, but he hands me this huge box. I was thinking, ok this is weird. I opened it up and there is a little jewelry box in it, but I was thinking it was something else. When I opened up the box he knelt down and asked me to marry him. 🙂

Am I the only one not engaged/married in the thread?

So traditionally how do proposals work? The couple goes ring shopping together and then the proposal?

Or does the guy go alone to pick out a ring, propose, and then the girl gets the ring sized afterward?

Also, do guys still ask the girls' parents for their "blessings" before proposing?

...None of this will apply to me anytime soon but I'm just curious 😳

Some things never change, proposals still won't apply to me anytime soon 🙄
 
Your absence has gone through me

I'm on season 5 of Boy Meets World and the Cory/Lauren thing just happened. These are dark days.
