Hi fellow LIW, I could really use some support and would love to hear your stories!
Here's mine:
We placed our BGD order at the end of July. My boyfriend is in the National Guard, and that was right before he was due for his 3 weeks of AT. I knew that I definitely would not want to be left alone with the ring somewhere in the house (I have to say here that I am much less patient than I'd like to be), so we asked them to ship it out after he returned.
That was about 3 weeks ago.
How do I know? Because I was actually the one who had to go to the FedEx office to pick up the shipment! After that my boyfriend hid it somewhere in the house and that was that.
And now I'm just going crazy! It's not even funny anymore - every time we go out somewhere, or do something special, the darn "Could this be it??" thoughts start creeping into my head ("He loves hiking... We haven't gone in ages... Will he do it when we reach the top?", "We're having date night in the city - it's warm, beautiful and romantic, is this the day?", "OMG he's fishing around in his pocket for something and saying: "What is this in here?" OMG IS HE ABOUT TO PROPOSE??" etc.). And then of course it doesn't happen, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed, although I know it's not fair and not right.
Now we're about to head out on vacation, and I'm facing the same situation: I would hate to think that I could feel disappointed, considering how much thought my boyfriend has put into planning our trip, but at the same time I know myself and I know that it will probably happen.
I've taken a break from (most) things wedding-related to clear my head a little, and that has made it somewhat easier. On the other hand, I can't help but get a little anxious - our wedding is supposed to be in August 2014, so the clock is ticking... And I'm going to be participating in a Brides Across America event in November, which means I really need to start trying on wedding dresses and determining the kind of dress style I want...
Ugh.
In any case, I'd love to hear how you dealt with all this in your final waiting stage, or how you're currently dealing with it.
