So he finally proposed he wont be home on Valentines day so we did this whole early valentine's dinner thing the other night and he proposed Im all hella crazy excited.. minus the last name bit.. but its kind of cute lol..
Actually I was surprised its quite cute and modest it fits me.. I was expecting him to get my something gawdy if it ever came to this haha .. but yea its a nice ring but its not the ring that makes me sooo insanely happy
Awwww, that's exciting Give yourselves plenty of time to plan it. Like, at least a year. Spreading it out over time reduces a bit of the stress, though it'll still be a wee bit stressful to plan :S My cousin got married last summer, I was her maid of honour. They were engaged for 1.5 years before actually getting hitched.
Oh wow, congratulations May! {{{Hugs}}} and best wishes to the two of you! I got engaged to my husband at 19, and married him at 20 years old (he was 24 at the time) so I was the same age as you are.
he's 26 and Im 19 it took my parents about the past month or so to adjust to it but now that we're getting married my moms all hella crazy excited and my dad is all planning "bonding" time lmao but at Christmas he gave me a promise ring but thats because we knew he was leaving and wanted to stay together but didnt exactly think we were ready to be engaged engaged but then he got home and because he is leaving again on the 10th we did a little valentines dinner at our place with candles and roses and it was just gorgeous I was really impressed he went all out to make it really special and I made dinner but the actual proposal was cute but kind of like a gag though pissed me off at first.. one of my friends said it was the stupidest ways of proposing they've ever heard but I look back at it and laugh my ass off already... we were sitting there eating I made him steak cause he loves the way I make steak and I made some salad and stuff but anyways we're sitting there eating and out of nowhere he starts choking and Im like jesus derek chew before you swallow much but he proceeded to pass out on the floor so Im freaking out at this point like OMG he's gonna die on valentines day because I made him steak then the shithead opens his eyes and looks at me and says "Im dieing to know if your ready to marry me" at this point Im all in shock like wtf are you talking about you shithead you were just choking.. and then he got on one knee and did it all right and proper... and before I said yes I smacked him for making me think he was choking I was like was that really necessary we actually want to get married in September of this year because all of our family will be up here then anyways and we just bought some land up here and figure we can have an outdoor wedding we're also hoping to start building our house in April/May but we started planning that in December before we were planning on getting married soooo the next few months will be a weee bit crazy for me but it will keep me occupied while he's away
haha thanks guys haha we will have plenty of funny stories to tell our kids.. but Im content.. alot of people around here say its not going to last but our families seem to think it will and so do we we're just too insanely happy when we are around each other and I seriosuly think we've tried to get in arguments about stuff before but we're just to mellow to actually get mad at each other and always seem to be able to talk every situation out
Honestly, as twisted as it sounds, I used to try and pick fights with my husband before we were married. It was like, I wanted to see how far I could push him, see if he'd stay. Not consciously, but subconsciously I suppose. Could be related to not having closure when my father left, wanting to see just how much he really loved and cared for me, the "will he leave me too?" mentality. ANYWAY. To this day, my husband and I rarely, and I mean rarely, ever fight. And even if we do get into a little spat, we end up looking at one another and cracking up, we just can't stay mad at each other. We're real silly like that. You're going to hear a lot of "oh, you're so young" and "oh, it won't last". You know what? Take it with a grain of salt. Believe me, I heard it all. And the crazy thing is, I'm happier now with my husband than I was even before we were married. Maybe we're not the norm, but I'm sure glad that I listened to my heart when it came to him, or else I might have let the best thing that ever happened to me go. Best of luck and love...
exactly hippychickmommy! I do the same thing with Derek its like if I get whiney about this will he still stick around will he get tired of my bitching... and its funny because he'll straight up turn around and tell me to quite being whiney which generally ticks me off a bit but then he'll do something dorky/corny that makes up for it.. and I cant be in a pissy mood around him he just starts wrestling or something with me his mom gets a kick out of it cause we'll be over visiting and be walking around the house in a wrestling stance it looks incredibly dorky but hey it works
oh goddddd that's so tacky. I'd hit him for it, ehehehehe. I mean, play slap, y'know, a light thwack on the arm. Anywho. I'm happy for you guys. The wedding seems terrifyingly soon though... wedding planner maybe?
Haha... that would have really pissed me off, but at the same time you just have to love it. Congrats.
