So I've been engaged about a month and a half now. My fiance and I have been together almost a year and a half and were close friends for about six months before we started dating. Since we've been together and have been planning to get married and have talked about getting married for so long you can imagine how anxious I was for him to officially propose.
The only problem is that the proposal felt all wrong. I'm thrilled that we're finally engaged and I love my ring but the actual proposal felt wrong. My FI had originally planned for it to just be the two of us but his 5 year old sister threw a fit because she wanted to go so he let her come too. So then the whole time was all about watching after her, her being there threw off his plan, made it awkward when he did propose, etc. And to make matters worse, the ring was too big (even though he already had it sized) and so i only got to wear it like two days and then didn't get it back from the jewelry store for 2 weeks.
I know that the important part is that we're finally engaged and all of that. And I'm not one of those crazy people that wants him to like re-do the proposal or something. It just always makes me a little sad when people ask me how he finally proposed and i have to tell them this story and remember how awkward it was. I really am trying to be ok with it but it's frustrating that this is the story I'm gonna tell my grandkids. I mean, it feels like it didn't even happen or wasn't important or a big deal to him. Any suggestions on how I can get over this and be more ok with it?
