Here is my story...
I found PS after searching for information on what to look for when buying a quality diamond a couple of months ago. For the last couple of years I started looking more into what my ring style is, because I wanted to save my future fiance the trouble once that day came (I'm very picky LOL). Anywhoo, I started lurking around more often when I discovered and fell in love with BGD. Now, I come to the site almost daily.
I know this might sound crazy to some of you, but I have only been with my BF for three months (four in Nov) and there is already serious marriage conversations. I know in my heart is the one for me; I never knew what it was like to have that 'feeling' and be surrounded by true love until I met him . The marriage talk came up once we realized we were in love and wanted to be together forever; this was about a month or so after dating. It's something we talk about all the time, down to the time we should get married. He is in dental school and I work but am also in graduate school; I will be finished in December and he has two years left. He would really like it if we got married after he is finished with school because money really won't be that big of an
object, whereas I would like to get married before he graduates in case he takes a job out of state. I would rather us be married before I just pack up and follow him (the reason behind this is the fact that I have a child)...just a personal preference.
It would be hard for us to get married before he graduates since I am the only one working; dental school is very time consuming and he always spends his time studying so it's very hard for him to get a job until the summer months. He is against taking out a loan for the wedding, and I agree. We would have to pay for the wedding ourselves, and I have decreased the budget drastically (the wedding will be small regardless).
I would really like for us to get married next year on our anniversary because it would be on a Saturday and the next time our anniversary would fall on a Saturday will be in 2018...long time away LOL... So I decided on our anniversary in 2013 since it falls on a Sunday, and I honestly think that is a reasonable timeline. So, I'm hoping for a wedding in 2013 with an engagement next year (hopefully) . He did say that he is thinking about working during the summer next year so he can save for the ring since he didn't realize how expensive...wait, let me rephrase, how expensive I am when it comes to rings, which is not that expensive by the way. The rings and diamonds I have showed him are very reasonablly priced and because I am not going to be able to get the ring I have my eye on I showed him other BGD that I will be just as happy with.
So, basically that is my story. Sorry for rambling LOL...
