Hello to all the LIW who are still waiting :twirl: Just wondering if anyone has any updates or news they have been sitting on because they think it might not be big enough for their own thread?

I have some small news, my SO's sister has come to live with us for a little while! After resigning from her isolated teaching post, she needs somewhere to stay while she works out her next move. So thats nice, I really like her, she is very smart and funny.

Anyone else have anything exciting happening, be it on the engagement front or just life related?
 
PrincessNatalie: Must be nice to have your FSIL staying with you. Kind of like a built in buddy to hang out with. :))

On the engagement front, no movement for me. It is all still about my FF saving money for the ring. What kind of frustrates me is that he doesn't like to talk much about it. He says it's all about just saving right now and I just need to be a little bit more patient since he is doing everything he can to get me my dream ring. I understand where he's coming from, but its tough to be totally silent about it too. :rolleyes:

A bit of news, my cousin just had an adorable baby boy and I just got back from seeing the baby. Although my cousin is about 8 years older than me, I remember when we used to talk about getting engaged, married, having kids, etc. Well since the days we used to shop and chat about our future, she has gotten engaged, married, bought a house with her DH, had 2 babies and I'm... still unengaged. I love her to death and I am SO happy for her, but I felt a little crummy about myself like I'm behind or something? Funny thing is she openly admits that she is envious of those who are still young and free. She tells me to enjoy my time with my FF while we are young, dating and childless. So I guess, at times, we tend to want the things that we don't have.
 
Hi ladies,

We are going overseas in 4 weeks, and I know he has some pretty special things to do in the pipes. I'd pin it in him to ask me then, but you can never be 100% sure about these things! So I would love you to send some DUST my way to assist the process! :bigsmile:
 
Everything is going well with BF and I, very on track to engagment bliss.

The only thing standing in our way now is finding our own place. We have seen a few of them but nothing quite right yet, and we intend to stay there for a while untill we can afford to buy a house so it does need to be decent.

It is very frustrating having this one thing standing in the way! I really wanted it to happen before (or on) my birthday this year but I don't think we will find a place in time :(sad



If it takes much longer I am going to have a little hissy fit.
 
eliseface, *****DUST*****!!

Nothing very new happening on my end, except SO and I did have one conversation the other night about future ceremony plans. For a long time we have not planned to legally marry; we have planned to just have a wedding-type ceremony where our families can meet each other (both of our families are pretty spread out geographically) except without all the typical wedding stuff (white dress, aisle, flowers, etc.). We were thinking more about just renting out the Thai restaurant where we had our first date, having dinner and drinks (and cake) with everyone, and maybe saying a few words to each other that resemble vows with a ring exchange.

But lately, we have been reconsidering our plan to possibly make the move over to legal marriage. It's something we think about a lot as we try to be conscious of what would be best for ourselves and what we politically and morally feel is right. Lately, we have been thinking more about legal marriage and what it might look like for us to participate in it. He told me that if we feel comfortable going that route, he would probably like for us to save up just enough for rings and then be legally married by his aunt in just a private ceremony and then have the big party later. I rather like that plan since we both have several years of grad school left and it will be a long time before we can afford a ceremony like I mentioned above.

Of course, it would also be a while before we could afford rings :( , something I did not know when I signed up on the list back in March. I've moved rather quickly from I think 112 to 53! :)
 
Well no news on an engagement yet. I don't even know if he's started looking at rings or anything. He wants everything to be a complete surprise so I won't know til it happens which is how I want it too.

One exciting thing has happened. My and my SO have moved in to our apartment! I'm loving it so far and we're both really enjoying fixing it up and decorating. He had said he wanted us to be living together before he proposed so now the real waiting begins. I'm ok with waiting and being surprised when it happens and im hopeful it won't take too long.

***DUST*** to everyone :bigsmile:
 
~***DUST eliseface ***~

This weekend I kind of had my first LIW meltdown :blackeye: . after being asked 3 different times in 2 days when we're getting engaged I broke down and decided to let SO know that I want people to stop asking. He asked if I wanted to get married this year, to which I said next summer/fall would be nice. He seems to be on the same page, and I said most people usually have a year long engagement which I think would be plenty of time ... it could even be longer. We actually went to a wedding show this weekend where we could have entered to win $15,000 to go towards a wedding, but we got there to late and the draw was over, we still walked around and talked with some vendors, he actually found a photographer he liked and took a business card. There are 2 different things stopping him right now. 1 is that he feels he's to young to be married and 2 is that we just bought a house which we need to buy thousands of dollars worth of appliances and furniture for ... we have a lot saved, but we don't want to make ourselves broke over this ring. When we were out looking at furniture and appliances this weekend all the sales associates were asking me my husbands name, and when I went to a store alone they told me to come back next time with my hubby. We played along and called each other husband and wife in the store, I only wish that were true.

This past weekend was the roughest LIW weekend I've had yet. I'm still hopeful for a Christmas or New Years proposal, we shall see.

While you can't do much about problem #1 (how old is he?), is there any movement on #2? I have told my boyfriend several times that if I had to choose between less than my perfect ring and waiting another year+ to get engaged, I'd happily take less of a ring. For a while he was stuck on "but the ring we found is perfect, I don't want you to have any less than that." But I think he now realizes that although I LOVE bling, it isn't what is most important. I would take a plain band or a cz or a little chip of a diamond in a heartbeat if it meant shaving off a year or two of waiting to get engaged. At the end of the day, I want to be married, and THAT is what is most important. I know I will eventually get my dream ring, but I am 100% okay with not getting it now.
 
Hey girls!
*dust to all!* and *LIW-itis treatment!*

My home front has changed pretty drastically. We nearly broke up, but it was for the best. Now we're stronger than ever and I've been solidifying my plans for France next semester.

In other news, I'm having a promise ring made for myself. Quite simply to remind me of what's important. I spent so long mulling over rings and engagement b**l*s**t that I ruined our relationship, and at the end of the day, I knew that we wouldn't be married for YEARS to come! So basically, terribly not worth it. I'm turning the page in my life and being more responsible and enjoying all that comes.
Out of all of this has come a love of diamonds and an even greater love for rings, which is where the promise ring comes in. Easily I could have gotten any type ring with whatever, my birthstone or something. But I already programmed myself into completely and irrationally desiring a diamond. I bought a cute .32 L RB which I'm having set in a custom DanielM 6-prong setting. I'll post pictures when it comes! :bigsmile:

In accidental news, I was at a family gathering the day before I returned my Try-It-Before-You-Buy-It to Eternity Diamonds, and I decided to wear it while no one was looking. Mistakenly, I forgot to take it off and my cousin noticed. Before I knew it, he was accusing me of being engaged.... :rolleyes:
Yes I could have rectified the situation, but not without making myself look absolutely crazy (which I am). So I gave him all of the details minus the whole "not-official, we fail and aren't actually engaged" bit. Oops? :knockout:
Suffice it to say, he just wants me to be happy, so he's "fine" with it. (note: he's 8 years older than me and recently broke up with his gf of 3 years -- I think she proposed to him :nono:)
 
Well, BF has said that I can wear the ring around the house as he likes seeing it on my hand.
But not allowed to in public yet until he asks as he needs time to prepare to pop the question in a special way that I can tell my friends about!
So, I'm sitting here with it on!!! It's stunning! But I did tell BF that I want him to ask so I can start showing and telling people.
Also mentioned that he needs to ask soon if we want to plan a 2011 wedding. We'd like a destination / elopement, but I still think it takes time to organise.
 
I think I’m experiencing my first LIW-itis too, but it’s like an on-going and flu-like (induration).

I’m weird though, I don’t get mad at yell or things like that I’m passive-aggressive and have just been down lately. I mean, yeah I’ve been crazy busy with school and gross-anatomy (yuck as well) but I just feel like “it’s never going to happen.” Like seriously. Why do they string us along like this? Whatever.

I know there are many other ladies that have waited much long than I, but that really doesn’t help the mood I’m in. It’s weird because I’m usually pretty laid back and I go with the flow. Hmmph. We live together (and have for over a year) but I’m starting to wonder, had we waited to move-in together would he have already grabbed the bulls by the horns and done it?

Glitz_n_Glam, et al. I’m sorry you ladies have come down with a case of LIW-itis as well. We need some ice cream to make us feel better : ) Maybe some fudge too..
 
Not too much on the engagement Front, but than again, i wont know anything anyways. LoL.....only thing that might be holding us up right now is his fear about losing his job. Just got to get past this month and than we will be in the clear again. Good thing is he is supporting me with school right now, and keeps telling me not to worry because" we have a roof over our heads, and food in our bellies and the dogs bellies" So i guess he is right.
 
No real updates for me...boyfriend wishes he was able to afford a ring so he could propose on our vacation to St. Thomas two weeks ago. We had an absolute amazing vacation though and wouldn't change anything about it...minus Hurricane Earl that got us! The island is definitely a contender for a destination wedding. We were sitting on the beach one day basking in the sun and ocean breeze and he said "could you imagine all our family here if we got married? We would take over the resort. It would be a lot of fun". I know he's not really looking at rings because he wants to pay down his debt (totally understandable) and I'm not rushing it. However, I came home from vacation and some people reacted negatively to coming home "empty handed". They are wondering why after 6 years nothing has happened yet. To which I reply as politely as I can to mind their own effing business. The people that react that way obviously don't know us that well so they don't matter that much anyway. :roll:

On the other hand, I have good friend who is going bonkers with LIW-itis. To the point where she's going to lose him if she doesn't stop it. She cries when someone else gets engaged and is always really happy before an important event thinking that it'll be it (only to be let down and feeling depressed). I'm running out of ways to help her feel better and understand what's really important. I tried once and she got VERY angry with me. There is more to this story but I didn't want to write a novel in this thread :bigsmile:
 
*****DUST***** to Eliseface!

Not too much going on here. BF is still working overtime and is doing pretty well saving up for a ring. I think he is really starting to get excited about getting engaged and everything too. He has been doing everything he can to save here and there. We have both been looking at apartments, appliances, and furniture for our future place and he just seems really excited that we are going to be getting our lives together soon. Of course, we have to wait for all that until I graduate and get a job because I simply have zero income to contribute to a place together right now and next semester. So, I'm very ready to get these next 8 months over with! The way BF has been talking, it sounds like we will get engaged next spring, possibly next February or March. I haven't been bringing it up much at all. :halo: I keep myself pretty busy now that school has started back. I still stalk my dream diamond everyday just to make sure its still there. I am trying not to get too attached to it though because I know by the time BF is ready, it will be gone. But, I can still hope right?! :D

BF also applied for a promotion at work. It would give him a pretty substantial raise and would put him on salary instead of hourly pay. He would be a supervisor of a new group of people at work. The only bad thing is that it would be second shift, from 5:30PM to 2:30AM. But it would only be a temporary second shift, like maybe a year or so and then it would move back to first shift. He should hear from them soon if he got an interview for it.
 
BF and I are going to an outdoor wedding in Sonoma this weekend. This will be wedding 4 of 6 for us this year. In the beginning, I thought they'd get progressively harder for me to handle, but the reverse is happening. I'm becoming less jealous and more happy for the couples--almost like I'm building an immunity to an allergy through repeated exposure, which is good, I guess. I also know that there's NO way he would propose this weekend (and steal his friend's thunder) so I can relax and just enjoy the trip.

***DUST*** to all!

My SO is 24 and I'm 25, I kind of agree with him that he's still young, I've known younger people to get married though, and when that time comes we'll most likely be 25 and 27. I try to tell him to look at the big picture, we've been together over 5 years, we both have great careers, we know we're going to get married and now we have a house together. A lot of people think we're older than we are, and they usually think he's the older one. In regards to the ring we're both very all or nothing types. Although we are in the midst of selling an engagement ring and matching band that I found last March for really cheap and SO purchased for me. It looks like a mini tacori with a .3 centre stone, halo and pave split shank. I was totally in love with this ring and happy with it, until my SO said it's not good enough for me and he would be ashamed to give me something like that. I think a part of it has to do with a wedding I was the maid of honour in, where at the end of the night the bride (total bridezilla) shoved her ring in my SO's face and said "let's see you do better than this!!!". After he bought me this mini tacori look-a-like he asked me if it's nicer than hers, to which I said it didn't matter because it's about us and no one else. I'm thrilled that he wants to get me a big beautiful ring, but at the same time it's killing me slowly. We have now found a 1.6 OMC that's a K/L colour, It's a really great deal too! But again, he thinks that it might look to yellow and wants to get me something whiter. Before this past weekend I hadn't mentioned anything engagement or ring related in a long time, I'm trying to just let him do his thing and after talking about it with him this weekend, he told me that he's "just slow with things" :roll:

I feel better today though, and after talking this past weekend about timelines we're more or less on the same page now. I'm still going to let him choose my ring on his own, he knows where the OMC stone is and that I like old cuts and emerald cuts. It doesn't seem to help when I pick it out so I'm just going to leave it all up to him.

kagordo4 I've actually had ice cream 3 times this past week & last night I had something called a chocolate brownie binge :twisted: ... sooo not good for my weight loss goals.
 
I finally have a solid lead on a job! I've been looking since I graduated in December and it has felt like a lifetime! Many months of being stressed about this one "little" thing. It *sounds* like my dad has created a job for me at his company. (I've always wanted to work for this company. My dad has been there 31 years, so it's all I've ever known. They've treated him pretty well over the years.) I am patiently awaiting a call from the department manager who I'd be working for. I don't even know yet what the actual position is, but if it'll get my foot in the door, I'll take it!
Dust please! I'm really hoping this pans out.
 
We are ordering the ring next week. Today my fiance (no official proposal until my ring is ready) and I went to Tiffany and got him sized for his wedding band. I'm going to surprise him with it next weekend hopefully. We also switched wedding venues, which was a little hectic. We went to the new venue today and met w/ the wedding coordinator and went to the invitation place, very busy day. Placing my order for my dress next weekend. Things are moving along nicely. I'm so excited. Can't wait for my ring and official proposal.
 
FuturePsyD - Congratulations to your cousin! Dont worry you are 8 years younger so of course you are behind! And I agree about enjoying being carefree and childless, soon you wont know why you didnt wait longer lol.

Eliseface - Where are you going? and OMG 4 weeks is going to fly by :) ***DUST*** for a romantic overseas proposal!

4ever - Good luck finding a place, it will be well worth the effort of checking a bunch of places out. When is your birthday?

Grlsbestfrnd - Congrats on finding a place! 4ever could use some of your experience lol

Glitz and Glam - you and I are proposal/hope twins! I am hoping for an xmas or new years, though I dont know if it will happen. We are going overseas for a couple of weeks for the holidays and I *hope* it will happen then :) I am sorry you and Kagordo and katedid05's friend have been having a bad LIW week. There really isnt any good cure for it except maybe deep breaths and a brave smile. And perhaps sweetpeas idea of attending lots of weddings to become immune lol.

Mayflowers - Dust for your SO's promotion!

Cholethegreat - I have a really good feeling about this job lead. Fingers and toes are all crossed for you!

Paris29 - it must feel so weird to be planning your wedding while you are not offically engaged! Do your friends and family know youre in the middle of planning!? Or are you waiting to surprise them? I am glad that things are moving along nicely for you!
 
PrincessNatalie: Thanks for your kind words! I am definitely trying to look at the bright side of things in regards to being unmarried, childless etc. Some day soon, there will be no turning back to these days!

Mayflowers: It seems we are going down similar paths as LIWs. My bf is also in the process of working and saving as much as he can here and there for my ring. For several months now he has really been getting excited about it and put himself on a strict budget so that we can move forward already! Our anticipated proposal timeline is also around Feb/March 2011. I really hope your bf's job plans come through! :))

Glitz n Glam: your mini tacori sounds lovely. Its very thoughtful of your bf to want to save up for a dream ring, even though the waiting process of those big beautiful rings can be mind numbing for us LIWs. On another note, I can't believe the bride said that!! "lets see if you can do better?" :errrr: Hopefully she was just kidding, but it appears your boyfriend took it to heart.

Paris: Everything sounds so exciting for you right now!! Wedding bands and wedding plans, and an upcoming ring and proposal. WOW I would be beside myself with happiness!! Have you posted pictures of your ring before or are you waiting until you are officially engaged? Either way, look forward to your proposal story and pictures!! :appl:

I'm in the same boat as you! BF has had the ring since June and I've been allowed to wear it a few times around the house. One day we were going out of town to visit some not very close friends (but we have mutual close friends) and on the way there BF goes "You've been so good this week (not talking about the ring, etc) that I almost let you wear it to Jeff's house today." I looked at him and said "DON'T TELL ME STUFF LIKE THAT! Besides, if they saw it they'd tell (our mutual friends) and they'd be thinking we're engaged, so that doesn't make sence. And it's not insured. You tease!"

Anyways, my best friend FOREVER who was totally anti marriage (long story short her ex fiancee is now in prison and because of what he did I thought she was going to switch teams (btw that's not meant to be offensive, I love her and whatever she would have chosen I would have fully supported). I am SO HAPPY for her and she's getting married in New Orleans (where they met) and I'm so excited about it! She's never been happier and I also helped her fiancee out with ideas for the ring. I haven't seen it yet, so we'll see if I actually helped at all!

I'm thinking we'll be engaged by my birthday at the latest (End of Feb). I keep telling myself that the holidays are going to make these next few months fly and I'll be engaged shortly after it! (Or maybe during!). I've quit talking about it for the most part now and am trying to enjoy the girlfriend phase. I realized I'm going to be his gf a LOT shorter than I'm going to be his wife so I better enjoy these years while I can!

On a side note immigration stuff is horrible. :sick: I drove over the boarder in June and told them I was going to leave in Aug. but instead filed an extension to stay until they say I have to leave. However I haven't received my letter yet and it's supposedly void if I leave the country during the process. I leave for the states in a week, thus voiding my extension, however I think when I cross again I can tell them that I'm planning on staying the full amount of time (6months at a time) but if they say I can stay (meaning allow me across) and I get a letter saying I need to leave sooner than that date which date am I supposed to follow? I asked the call center that question and they didn't have an answer for it. I know that the letter is "void" but are they going to know that? I think I'm just going to get them to stamp my passport and write a date in there for me. Then I have proof of everything so that way when we do finally get married there's no issue for immigration.

I just realized I wrote a novel. Wow. Thanks for reading if anyone really got though this!

ETA: And to all the other LIW good luck! I do read/lurk on most of your threads but i don't post much. Everyone that's waiting your posts make me feel more sane!

Can I just say what a beotch? Like seriously, who the hell is she? I'm glad you're way above her petty crap.

Anyway.. morbid curiosity... what did her ring look like and what carat weight?

Friggin A that would be the end of the friendship
 
And you were the MOH! So she was one of your best friends???! OMG was she completely smashed or something? What a cow! She probably thought she was being cute. Uh no, highly inappropriate little lady.
 
Princess it does feel kind of weird being in full planning mode w/o being officially engaged. We refer to each other as each other fiance/fiancee but until the ring comes there will be no proposal. He's kind of old fashion that way. The majority of our family, all immediate family that is, and all our close friends know.
 
kagordo4 - to settle your morbid curiosity this girls ring was from a maul store most likely, I would guess it's maybe 1/2 carat round I2 and it's what pricescope refers to as frozen spit, it's a 4 prong solitaire. Her wedding band is actually what she calls a jacket, basically two bands soldered together that she had made so that her e-ring just snaps into place in the middle, the bands are probably .75tcw. If I recall correctly to the end of that night she said "I got 3 rings, lets see you try and do better than that!" to my SO and I was standing beside him .... speechless, and no PrincessNatalie she was not even drunk! I could go on about this girl, but I won't ... needless to say our friendship was really put to the test over her one year engagement/planning period you can read more here > https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/how-much-does-it-cost-to-be-a-bridesmaid.148849/

She probably doesn't remember saying that, but she has no idea what she has started. My SO only buys the best for himself and he told me "why would I not buy the best for you too" in regards to my ring. He's not a show off in any way, he just likes to have nice quality things. This girl gets jealous over any little thing, another mutual friend has a 1 carat solitaire which my bridezilla friend informed me of with a really bitter tone of voice. A few weeks later I saw this 1 carat solitaire and it has a grey/dull look and doesn't give off any sparkle. Obviously my friend doesn't know anything about diamonds, she just craves attention and is a very jealous young lady. I'm still her friend because I'm hopeful one day she'll come to her senses, we're just not as close as we used to be.

paris29 - ~**~DUST~**~ I hope your ring comes very soon so you can finally have that proposal and stop living a secret double life!

PrincessNatalie - Cheers to hopeful Christmas or New Years proposals!

ChloeTheGreat - ~**~ JOB DUST ~**~ positive thoughts are being sent your way!
 
Where are you going? and OMG 4 weeks is going to fly by :) ***DUST*** for a romantic overseas proposal!

Hi, we're going to (coming to?) the US- LA, NYC, Washington DC, Chicago and SF. We both ride motorbikes, so we've got a couple of days of riding from SF to Big Sur and back up again, and that stage of the trip has my senses tingling. I hope my gut sense is right!! :?

Glitz_n_Glam, I'm surprised you've been able to recover your eyeballs, assuming that sequence of events caused them to roll back into your head.
 
Wow, it sounds like things have been pretty exciting for a lot of you ladies! :)

My FF and I picked out our diamond and setting together, and he has had the finished ring since the beginning/middle of July. It seemed like we always had a good reason to wait - his cousin was getting married and we didn't want to take any attention away from him and his bride, my FF was going away on a business trip, etc. Then, things got a little rough in our lives, so we decided to wait awhile.

Unfortunately, my FF was laid off about a month ago - about half of his company was laid off throughout the year, and during the last round, he was one of them. He did find a temporary position with one of his previous employers, and he has been working there for now. He has actually been very busy, since they are trying to complete a major project. He finally had the time to send out his resume a few days ago, and he had an interview yesterday. He is also hoping to hear back from a few other places.

I was actually lucky enough to secure the perfect job for me. It's actually within my field, and it is a wonderful opportunity - I think that I will really enjoy it. The only downside is that the department (it's a small company, so it's only a one-person department) was in pretty bad shape when I walked in, and it will take a couple of months of hard work to clean up. Also, since I am new, I have been in training, and I still have a few people coming in to teach me new things. It's all a bit overwhelming, but it seems like the perfect position once things are all caught up.

Since my new job is in my FF's city, I moved into the house that he is renting. It's not really my type of house and it's not really 'home' to me (it feels like 'his' house), so we are planning to find a new place of our own really soon. We want to rent for awhile before we buy, so it shouldn't be terribly expensive to move within the city.

Things are actually looking up right now, so hopefully the proposal will be relatively soon. :)
 
Dust to everyone. Especially shitzulover! It seems like it could happen anytime, everything is ready to go, you are just waiting for the planets to align.

All I've got to report is the SO does talk more openly about rings, but nothing has come of his suggestion we go to look at rings. He has been really busy with school, so I can't blame him. :)

He did say something to our friends who are getting married next month last night at dinner which was both funny and meant he was getting more used to getting married sooner rather than later. When our friends (as many say a month before a huge wedding) said "when the time comes, you guys just elope" SO replied "that's the current plan" :) I had told him that's what I want to do, but he's never vocalized it to others before. I am more than pleased
 
Glitz_n_Glam, how big of you not to sink to that level. I hope your friend figures out what's important... really soon. It sounds like you have a pretty level head on your shoulders : )
