Hi all! I'm just gonna jump in and say hi!
I'm NEY. lol I'm turning 31 next weekend and my BF will be turning 31 a few weeks after that. We have been together almost 5 years (the first few years were off and on a bit). We also lived together for about 2 years, but have been living apart since last September.
We've been talking about a lot marriage lately and I know he has a ring already. He bought the diamond first and it's in a simple solitaire setting. We talked about what style ring I would like last year so he knows I like vintage styles. He told me he planned to choose a vintage style setting for the diamond and that he figured he would just know it when he sees it. My best friend knows more detail about what i would like, but i'm not sure if he will go to her or choose it on his own. So i'm a little nervous about what he picks, but i'm also so excited to see what he chooses for me!
I guess the point of my post is that I'm getting excited and need to be talked down from the ledge of BSC! lol (did I get that right?) As I said, my birthday is coming up soon and we're taking a trip to Boston (actually arriving the morning of my birthday) and will be there a week. I'm thinking there's a good chance that he'll pop the question either for my birthday or some time during our trip. I don't want to get my hopes up in case this is not the time. But at the same time I can't help but be excited about the possibility!
Should I let myself be excited or do I need to be talked down from a ledge?
