Who have you told?

[Chewbacca]

...about your being a LIW? For those of you with rings in the house/safe/in production/have shopped for - have you told anyone? Do your family/friends know you are planning to marry?

 

[pandabee]

I've told my close friends and my brother...some of them know about his promise that we'd be engaged by Christmas this year. I haven't told my parents the details but they know that we are getting married soonish (my mom joked that next year on their 30th anniversary we should all go to Greece or something together to do our honeymoon and their anniversary). I have not told anyone IRL (including SO) that I am on the LIW list here though.

My 2 best friends and my sister are the only people who TRULY know about my LIW status. They are also anxious about it and want the proposal to come ASAP so we can all start getting excited about a wedding.

Other than that, I've only mentioned loosely to a few people that I am even thinking about marriage because for so long, I was against it and didn't want it for myself. My parents have no clue.

Not a soul but my SO knows I'm a LIW. Some know from him that he has the ring, but they think I don't know.
But really, I only am clueless about the proposal.

So, it's nice to have an outlet here.

One of my close friends and a few of SO's family members know I'm ready to be married. I wish I'd never told one of them, her perspective is so different to mine and it isn't comforting or supportive! The other three I'm glad I did, I'm not one to reveal too much of anything to anyone, but it turned out to be a good share, ha ha. None of our parents know, but they definitely assume.

If/when/now I know about the ring, I'm keeping it to myself!

So I am glad for LIW!

Grandma and cousin knows. A few of my friends know, but I actually forget what I told each one! I forget which one knows I have a diamond, which one knows I have a ring…. Oops I try not to tell anyone, but I get so excited sometimes

His parents and his brother know, and a few of his friends know.. but they don't know that I know.

His mother knows... my mother knows... and a few coworkers from work now. I honestly wish I had kept my mouth shut and not told anyone at work... now they keep asking when it's going to happen and are constant reminders that he is still saving up for it. I couldn't help it I guess... I just got way too excited and wanted to share.

 

[maccers]

My family knows, my friends know and to be honest, SO tells way more ppl than I do! He's told his long term patients even, sheesh, propose already then!

 

[lin_ny]

Everyone who is close to me knows I want to get married preeeeeetty badly. It's so pathetic.

The people who are close to me that I see fairly regularly, know he bought a diamond. I wanted to keep it a secret... but it was too hard!

 

[Ms_Lovely]

My close friends just know it's a possibility that he will propose this year . My two sisters know it's a definite and that we've been diamond/ring shopping. He's told one of his brothers and his best friend.

 

[LoveLikeCrazy]

anyone willing to listen?! haha

Nah my parents kinda knew right away. They pretty much knew when i moved in after 4 months that he was it. They LOVE him. My family and siblings know (and sympathize for him hahahaha), my best friend, people from work...

i'm just sick of other people asking whats taking so long. We havent even been together 2 years yet and i think it makes ME more insecure and LIW. I am antsy for the ring though.

 

[antiquesparkler]

Oh gosh...

Well my mom knows that we have my grandma's diamond but she doesn't know that it's been set.

3 of my good girfriends know and my sister. No one else will know until its on my finger.

I tried really hard to keep it a secret but I cant.

Only a good friend and my sister know about the timeline.
