Engaged!

For those who don't know me I've been with my bf for 3 and a half years and it's been wonderful. Last night out of nowhere he told me he had a gift for me. I'm thinking a cute book, a cheesy movie or the like. He brought me a little blue box. I still didn't clue in. I thought well, he's not going to propse- I'm in school it must just be earings. I opened it and it was a ring, I still thought it must just be a really nice promise ring. He's even kneeling in front of me. He starts telling me quite nervously and fast how I'm perfect, he loves me and can't imagine life without me, will I marry him? I just nod yes. I'm still shocked. FOR REAL? I was barely crying at all!

Anyways I'm very happy, still soaking it in and surprised, very, very surprised!

The ring: nothing matters besides him ensuring the diamond was conflict free and it is. A diamond backed by the Kimberly process and mined, cut and polished in Canada.

I'm a happy little camper :)

Cool ,congrats! :) Must have been surprising ;)

Well done! Finally a happy story.

Very, very surprised. I'm still like for real? Me? I'm engaged? Wow. Happiness :)

Yeah, you don't see it very often... That guys give engagement ring before talking about it with the girl before. I mean today people engage but it's more like " hmm let's engage ,we get an engagement ring later" :)

Congrats girl68 !!

aww i'm so happy for you :D great things come to those who wait... and who apparently have VERY thoughtful boyfr.... oh i mean fiancés! :)

Congratulations, girl! I hope you two will be very happy together. How long do you plan to be engaged? Are you one of those fancy-wedding girls?

thank you ladies :)

"fancy wedding"? not really... I'm going for "nice and lots of fun!"

Yay! Thats exciting. Congratulations :)

Congrats girl! What a pleasant surprise

congrats!!!!

congrats to you!

That is great. I'm glad he actually surprised you because you only get that chance once. I'm also glad to see that you're not trying to put yourselves in the poorhouse just to have an extravagant wedding. Keep it fun and simple and you guys won't be arguing about money for the first few years of marriage like so many couples do.

Aww lovely! Congrats, may you be happy ever after :)

Congratulations Girl68!!!

Yes this is how it should happen...no pressure...no emotional blanckmail just a genuine love and the conviction you two both want it.

Bravo!!!

Everyone knew it would happen it was just when. About 2 years ago 2 of our very good friends got engaged the "wrong" way. And they were only dating a year. He was 32 at the time and she got into a scuffle with him and ended up saying you're old, why haven't you proposed yet!? He took her to pick out her ring the next day. I'll admit I was a little jealous, I'd put in my time and she hadn't and they were engaged first. Yeah I know how stupid that sounds. But I can't help what I thought. Then I asked my guy what he thought, was he not ready, what's he waiting for? And he just said, we're not ready but it will happen in its own due time and that he's known for some time that he would but now wasn't the right time. At that point I accepted it and said nothing of it again and then when I least expected it he did. And he did it because he wanted to not because he was asked to. He said he'd had it for a week and couldn't wait any longer.

:)

Thats exciting

^^^ since I never got to say it back when...

Thats great to hear, Congrats!!

Congrats girl! I'm jealous :-)

^ Everyone gets there someday...

So lucky! I would assume he must be a good guy for you to want to marry him. Not everyone is that lucky to meet and catch one. If I find one in the future, I would make sure to hold onto him.

Congratulations! Always happy to hear about true love!

Ok..... That was like 20 years ago. Read the posting date of the last response before posting on a thread that was far from the top.

Nothing more adorable than a man down on his knees.

Awesome!!! Congratulations!! We celebrated 39 years in July and I wish for you the many years of happiness, love, and romance that we have.

Aw congratulatons! You sound like a lovely couple - all the best for the future, just don't let wedding plans stress you out!

Congrats. Wish you the best of luck

Congratulations :)

What do you mean "how was the time you saw the ring" in 1 word: underwhelming if I'm completely honest.
