So, after being enlightened by several posts from already-marrieds getting to have the wedding of their dreams that they so deserve, I decided that I should have the proposal of my dreams.
I got engaged in November. FI and I had been ring shopping previous, but he did a good job of convincing me that he wasn't ready to purchase yet. I even thought that I might have scared him off a bit with too much pressure. While in his truck one day I accidentally found the receipt for the ring! (Silly man, hide your receipt... don't leave it in the centre console of your truck!) FI hadn't been planning to propose at that time, but since the surprise was ruined, that became the time for it to happen.
I don't consider this to be our engagement day... even though we have been engaged for 6 months and our wedding is all booked for July 6th, we only got engaged because of the circustamces of that day. Every girl deserves to have the proposal of their dreams. I have already planned out my dream proposal - flowers, candle light, a violin playing in the background. I have taken the liberty of writing a romantic speech for FI to say down on one knee - it will be beautiful! My question is, how should I let my FI know all of the plans I have made for my dream proposal, without hurting his feelings?
In case it was not implied, please read with extreme sarcasm! Would a do-over proposal be less- or as-acceptable as a do-over wedding? Just curious!
Oh, and FWIW, that is basically how the proposal went... but we laughed at the ridiculousness of how 'us' it was. And I still cried when he put the ring on my finger!
