Well my FF spoke about our ring budget the other night and I told him I thought my original expectations were out of whack for our current situation. I told him moving out of his parents house was way more important to me and that saving really hard for a down payment is what i want more than anything. I also told him that I need some sort of security - a place to call my own and progression in our realtionship. At first he was hesitant to my cutting the ring budget thinking that perhaps it wasn''t really the complete truth - but it is and I feel really really good about it. I went out browsing yesterday to try on new ideas, and to my surprise what I thought would look great looked awful. I tried on a gorgeous tacori ring, oops! Tacori is really out of budget but can be somewhat "replicated" for roughly half the cost, and still keep us close to the new budget. I felt really good about my new find, and told him when he got home from work. Showed him the picture and finally he liked something I liked. I guess after he had time to sleep on the new budget idea he really got excited - which is so nice to relieve some of the pressure and it really makes it exciting and fun again.

So ready for the really cute part... We were laying on the couch all giggly and flirty and he says "you are the best GF in the whole world" he paused while I said thank you, and then said ''but hopefully not for long" It took me a second and then I saw the cutest little grin on his face and I knew he got super excited cause he had this sweet little giggle.

I know it''s not going to come for like 6 months, but the fact that he is so excited about it is so fun, and it makes the waiting part really exciting again! Thanks to all the PS''ers who encouraged me to change my priorities cause I just feel so good about it.

Check out the new ring idea (its in SMTR thread too)
 
Sorry wouldn''t let me attach

I''m glad you two were able to sort things out! You seem really happy so it sounds like you guys are doing the right thing.
 
Hi dreaming! I''m so glad that you were able to have the discussion with your FF and are happy with your decision, it will make life happier and easier! It''s the best thing in the world when they let us catch a little glimpse of how excited they are about getting engaged and married, because sometimes we feel like we''re the only ones! Your new find is beautiful and I hope that you get that gorgeous sparkly! Hugs!

Thanks - I will check it out!
 
YAY for you two! Sometimes we have to get out of our own way in relationships, and it makes all the difference.

Also, in terms of overstock rings, I had heard that the prongs, or something about how they mount CZs is different than diamonds. Not sure if that is true, I am sure someone on PS could weigh in on that, but just something to check into before you commit $$$. :)

And, for the record, I would want a house w/BF way more than a big ring, too! Good luck with the house and engagement!
 
oooh i LOVE tacori rings! we''re using my gma''s stone so i can get the setting i really want!

that conversation you two had sounds SUPER cute :)
