Ahhh... this is a little wordy but it made me really happy, so I''m posting it here.
My BF''s birthday is coming up soon and I am pretty much stumped about what to get him. I thought about taking him on an overnight trip somewhere but he doesn''t want to do that right now. I''ve come up with a few ideas for gifts instead, and none of those are going to work, all for different reasons. I told him yesterday that I was frustrated with it because I want to get him something good, especially since he really put a lot of effort into my birthday a few months ago. He said not to worry about it so much, that him being with me is plenty... Aw, that''s adorable.
(I''m still going to get him something though, of course, haha.)
But anyway, back to the reason I''m writing this whole post. I''d thought of getting him a ring for part of his birthday present. Nothing flashy, nothing major, just a band with some sort of pattern to it so it''s not completely plain. He showed me a while back a few ideas of wedding bands he would like to have, so I have an idea of the kind of rings he likes. I don''t want to pressure him any more than I know I already am about getting engaged/married, so I brought up the ring idea to him last night to make sure it was okay.
So I told him I thought of getting him a ring, and that I wasn''t proposing to him or anything like that, but I thought a ring would suit him. And that if he wanted one, I needed to get his ring size since I don''t have any idea what it is. I asked if he''d like a ring now, or if he''d rather wait till we are married, and he said he thinks he would rather wait. So, yet AGAIN, I was frustrated with getting him anything for his birthday since none of my ideas will work.
Then he says, "Well, what if you get a ring and I wear it on a necklace for now? And then eventually..." and he just kept making weird hand motions. And I said, "Eventually what? I''m not following you?" and he says, "Eventually..." and points at his ring finger on his left hand. So I said, "What, eventually have that as your wedding band?" And he smiled at me really big. I just kept looking at him like this
and then he finally said yes, that was what he meant! What?! Hahaha. I said, "Well. Uh. That''s really sweet and seems neat, but I want your wedding band to be nice, and I didn''t plan to buy you a ring that pricey right now..." But how sweet is that of him to have said!
Anyway. I know a lot of us come here to vent sometimes, but this was pretty much the opposite of a vent for me. And I figure we can always use more positive posts around here! It really calmed me down a lot about all this worry over getting engaged/married. He''d be okay if I bought his future wedding band in the next couple weeks?! Just try to tell me that''s not a sign a proposal isn''t too far away! Eep!
