Ok My FI and I got engaged on my bday (Dec 16) it was kind of a fluke, we had been drinking quite a bit and he kinda blurted the question out, and I wouldn't let him back out :P Ring hadn't came in yet...so come Christmas, he gave me my ring and got down and "officially" proposed to me with my parent and his kids there (in the middle of one of the worst blizzards ever i must add lol) I know not the most romantic thing and i really don't care, that's the way my FI and go, we're dorks.
He got me a "journey" ring for my engagement ring. I absolutley love it!!! Just the meaning behind the journey from the past and into the future and its nice and small (I have tiny hands and fingers, ring size 5) but that's how I like it. Te fact that My soon to be stepdaughters picked it out for me also made it more special to me cause that was like their blessing to have me come into their family.
However, everything is good yada yada, but because my ring does not look like an engagement ring, a few friends have been giving my FI a really hard time about it. Especially my maid of honor. She basically has demanded him to get me a solitare for our wedding ring to go with my ring. and she won't let up about it. I love her to death, she is the one who set me and my FI up and she's a big part of both of our lives and I've changed the subject with her several times, that its not the ring, its whats behind it, I'm not materialistic and the meaning is all that is important. We already know what we're doing when it comes to wedding rings, and she still won't let up about it...How do I approach her and tell her really its none of her business without offending her...I'm known for just spitting out exactly what I think before even thinking about it and I don't want to hurt her feelings...
Thanks for listening to me rant
