Engaged while looking at a venue. 

How BSC does that sound?  "How did he propose???"  "Well, we were looking at a venue for the wedding, and he gave me the ring!" 

And how do you like that "F* YOU NEY!!!!"

Hahahahahaha.

Oh geez. Like getting the ring means you WEREN'T BSC before. I don't think it works that way. You were still BSC... kthxbai

Well, good for her.

I'm not a big fan of her ring though.

She is a little crazy. She hangs out on the Christian board and I always wanted to call her out but the Christian board wouldn't like that.

Just speaking the truth, ma'am. Don't worry, it's not personal.. We tell all the pre-planners the same thing.

And a couple of us not liking your ring is NBD. I wouldn't expect everyone to like my blue e-ring... everyone has different styles.

Confession:  Tiger, your ring is totally NMS.  I appreciate it because it's different and interesting, though.  And I'm really happy that you love it.

 I get that you tell all pre planners the same thing. I understand that , although I did explaine that my FI was ok with all plans and said go ahead and was involved in the whole process.
I'm currently also trying to enroll in nursing school in the fall. Pre-planning was getting quotes and date options, having less to do later for the purpose of school. But I'm not gonna bother to get into all that again .

I dont care one way or another who likes my ring. I rather enjoyed that I was still a topic of conversation weeks later.

If i wanted drama I'd wacth Young and the Restless.

Vindication for BSC is becoming non-BSC before you get the ring... not getting the ring. And I return to the point of my first comment.

We never said you weren't going to get a ring...

Well i still stand on the fact its NOT bsc since I was not acting alone and all plans were done with my FI..

Since I am engaged now , I see no need to be on a NEY board and be rude to people who ask questions about not being engaged and telling people I do not know that they are crazy .


And now I'm gone...

I'm guessing you aren't really gone, so I'll say this: you were BSC if you were planning a wedding while not engaged, even if your SO said it was ok. If you and your SO were planning a wedding together, then you were engaged before he ever put that ring on your finger. Quid pro quo. Or QED (I always mix those up).

Yeah, it's definitely not everyone's. Hell, it took me awhile to get used to! And I will admit that I'm excited to add my wedding band to it so it looks more 'weddingy.' Right now I worry people might just think it's a regular ring, not an e-ring, cause the diamond doesn't necessarily reach out and slap you.

In fairness, it's not the blue enamel that makes it NMS.  That part I like.  It's the thickness of the band and the bezel setting.  Those kinds of rings look awful on my short stubby fingers.

I know my ring is pretty different from a lot of people's tastes, too.

I loved that my proposal was about just me and my H.

Texting during a "romantic" evening with my H?

THAT is NMS.

The reason we get on people for pre-planning is b/c it reflects a certain lack of maturity and perspective -- it tends to indicate a person who is more about appearances and other people than their relationships or SOs.

This proposal story only lends credence to that opinion.

You mean you didn't go on dates to look at venues for your wedding before you were engaged to be married?  WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
