Aw, that's awesome that you guys are both ready to take this next step together. And look, you get two rings to wear now! :laugh:

Savor and enjoy the day. When I went with my bf, cupcakes and champagne got brought out. it was pretty awesome, but I was too frazzled to accept anything. I wish I had. 🙂

Seriously? Mine shopped alone and surprised me. Now I wish I had been there! Cupcakes and champagne... yum. 🙂

Although I did appreciate the surprise, as well.
 
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. 🙂

Awwww, this is so romantic 🙂 And what better time to propose than Christmas 🙂
 
Am I the only one not engaged/married in the thread?

Oh, okay :laugh: Yes, I completely understand you. I at least wanted to wait until I know I was accepted and will be going to medical school. So, the timing is perfect 🙂

yep! :highfive: all the women who independent:

that's awesome too. I think there are always pros and cons to either side. and tbh, there weren't cupcakes and champagne everywhere. That was only HW. 🙄 pretty things are pretty things! 🙂
 
Well, for all practical purposes I consider you pseudo-engaged. 😉

good, hopefully the adcom at my next interview will as well. i'm interviewing at his state school haha :laugh:

though honestly, it still sounds uber scary to me, even though half my friends are engaged/married. I blame it on the princess bride...

Phew! I was starting to think there was a whole world of food I never knew about. Momentary shock and awe = over.

There are definitely pros and cons to every situation! Luckily, the biggest pro for every situation is that it's ours. You know, not to sound too cheesy. :laugh:

Me too, as much as I am excited, I am scared too :scared: But I am sure this is normal!
 
whoa, interesting. do you know what kind of cut / setting you / your bf want?

I have no idea, that's why I have been looking for hours online :scared:

I think I just need to try some on and then go from there...

Hopefully, when I try on The One I will know :xf:🙂
 
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 😳

Well, it depends. I think both scenarios are equally possible. When my bf proposed to me few years ago, it was a surprise and he did ask my parents. This time around he wants me to pick the ring I like, and the proposal will come shortly after.

And you never know when you might meet the right person, it could be sooner than you think 🙂
 
this thread is making me lonely

...well... lonelier :cry:
