A Silver Lining!

Hello Everyone!
Well, after telling you all that I didn''t expect a proposal Christmas Day I am ashamed to say that after not receiving one I had to have a secret cry in the shower! I couldn''t help it, although I really wasn''t expecting it to happen, it was still so disappointing. My mum didn''t help things by ringing me up and mentioning it, which even though it was a very innocent comment still almost made me burst into tears!

Anyway, I did have a lovely day. although SO sensed I was disappointed and said something about really wanting to have done it but not having enough money (due to new house.)

So fast forward to today. We were both having a very relaxed day, him playing on his PS3 and me catching up with proposals on here. So I said to him, "Do you know when you want us to get married?" He didn''t answer me. It really annoyed me so I shouted (Oooops!) "Don''t just ignore me!" Then he was like, "Oh sorry babe, what''s up?" So I asked again and he said Sumer 2010 would be good. So I said, "And how long do you think this wedding is going to take to plan?" And he said about 18 months. That sounds right to me as we would be paying for most of it ourselves and need time to save. So I said, "You do realise that we should be engaged by now for that don''t you?" So then we were laughing about it a bit and he said that he just wants the proposal to be really special and he has a few ideas and knows when he wants to do it!! Yay!! So I told him that if he doesn''t want to buy me anything for my birthday (Feb 2nd) and use money to save for ring instead then that is fine. Then he said, "Are you trying to trick me into telling you something now?" And he was laughing.
We talked a bit more and from what I can gather it might be coming soon!! Now, he has got my hopes up before like this but he is adament that he has never felt ready or wanted to before but now he does!! Yay!!
So I will just have to wait and see but I am definitely feeling more positive!

The only downside is that it was last New Years Eve that he promised me that we would be engaged during 2008.......

Sounds like he has a realistic timeline and has things in the works! Glad the discussion went well for you guys. My FF is the same way when he''s playing video games - It''s like it creates a special vortex where you have to repeat everything at least twice

I hear ya chocolatefugde, my story is sorta similar. I''ve been bursting out crying at random times too over the pending engagement too. However, I live alone so I just sit on the couch and watch sappy movies (the latest being Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) and cry in my apartment and no one will know.

That sounds like wonderful news indeed. I''m very happy for you!

Wow, sounds promising!
I was also told I could expect an end of the year engagement so my hopes were high, and I was very upset and cried at the most random times. I was hoping to get married April 2010 and he knows this, and we both agreed that it was a good time/year to be married. I think as we talk more and more I am realizing it may happen sooner than I think, but to not be expecting it. I really think our guys want the proposal to be something special and definetly not something we are expecting. So for now I am going with the flow... (for real this time.. wink wink)

Sorry you ended up crying on Christmas, darlin'', but it is good news that he sounds sure of things now and like he''s got a plan. I''ll keep fingers and toes crossed for you that it''s sooner rather than later of 2009!
