    1. FI bought me a 1/2 carat diamond, so he must be a cheap bastard who doesn't love me.

    2. I asked for a smaller diamond, because I think big honkin diamonds happen to look ridiculous on my particular fingers, so I must be a cheap bastard. Or an elitist snob.

    3. I actually wanted FI to ask my parents for their blessing. I'm also having my father "give me away". I must be a meek, repressed woman who doesn't mind being looked at as piece of property to be "handed off" to my FI.

    4. My FI proposed at Christmastime. In our house. In the middle of an unvacuumed living room. And the dog licked him in the face halfway through. He must not love me, or he would have at least sprung for 10 dozen roses. Or a skywriter.

    The fact that he lit every candle and Christmas light in our house, or cooked me my favorite dinner? Or wore a nice outfit, rather than his daily uniform of old dive t-shirt and shorts? Or put on Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack in the background (despite the fact that he hates CBC, he knows it makes me all squishy inside)? F*ck that. There should have been a skywriter. And a pony, dammit.
    INVALID.

    5. FI told me in advance when he'd be proposing. Practically down to the day. Therefore, as it was not a big huge surprise, it must be invalid.


    6. We're seven years apart. My FI must be a dirty old man. Or I must be a trophy wife. You pick.

    7. Our yard will also look like a schizophrenic lives there come election time. We're double-y doomed to fail.

    8. I'm over the age of 20. I must be a bitter old hag that roped my guy into marrying me.

    9. We're having a garter toss, and I'm pumped about it. I may as well bust out the Colt 45 in a paper bag, because my wedding be backalley.

    10. I frequently suggest to OPs that they wait until they have an education, some sort of career, and stable financial footing before they get married. Therefore, I am a bitter, uppity old hag who sucks in bed who lives for nothing other than crushing newb dreams and kicking puppies.

    11. I agree with Mutley and Jeana a lot.  Therefore, I must have no brain of my own and must be a blind follower. It can't be that they be smart and know what the f* they're talking about.

    12. I also happen to side with a particular group of women 95% of the time. I must be a clique-y bitch that doesn't want to share her sandbox. It can't be that after close to two years of in-depth conversation and sharing of various life experiences, I've come to respect and adore these women. Nope, I just don't want to share the sandbox. Go get your own sandbox.

    13. I had my degree at 20 and went through a lot of sh*t when I was younger. Therefore, I was automatically more mature than everyone else in my age bracket, automatically ready for marriage, and nothing I experienced between the ages of 20 and 27 shaped my life or made me a different person in any way, shape or form.

    14. nottheonly changed her date to my wedding month, thereby "stealing my thunder". Therefore, I must be:



    15. I have close friends that I met on the internet that I've never met IRL. Therefore, they must be imaginary people and I must have no life whatsoever. In fact, I'm pretty sure that means I'm a loser that lives in my mom's basement.

    Hmm.

    We're planning a long engagement.
    I did not pick out my ring NOR did I get a pony.
    My ring is not huge.
    It is not from Tiffany's/Helzberg/Kay/etc.
    My proposal was very low key and quiet.
    We did not send silly animated "'we're engaged" e-cards.

    On another note: CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP it's snowing here =(  DNW

    Ugh, I know.

    There's a slight possibility that it will happen next week on our ski trip, but I'm not at the point where I'm going to be disappointed if it doesn't.  After several false alarms already, I'm done getting worked up.


    On another note, I set a goal for myself to finish two books this week before we leave for Colorado.  Following Oceana's post, I'm one down.

    Oceana, BF is 12.5 years older than me.  He's dirty AND I'm a trophy wife.  Beat that.

    And I want my parents blessing, and my father to give me away.  I look at it as one moment to give respect to him for raising me to be the person that I am.  He's not handing over a piece of property, he's being recognized and thanked for his efforts... and for not killing me as a teenager.

    Ooh I'll play!

    1. We've been together for a long time (5.5 yrs)...apparently this is a "danger sign" or something, b/c if he didn't propose within 6 months, he NEVER WILL. Surprised WHY BUY THE COW and all that. 
    (Never mind that we always had an understanding of "we're going to do this in our 30's," and we were both in grad school when we started going out/didn't have real jobs yet).

    2. We're meticulously custom-designing the e-ring together, so it won't be a "surprise!!!". And, both our families know about it already.

    3. We need to go overseas (where the ring is being made) to pick up the ring (it will be like, next spring, haven't exactly figured it out yet...).  So, I'll literally be there when he picks up the ring from the store overseas.  NOT A SURPRISE OMG.

    4. We are different races (did you hear about the JOP in Louisiana(!) who refused to marry the interracial couple, ooh that makes my blood boil....).

    5. We are different religions (GASP!!).

    6. We live together (see #1).

    7. I'm going to take his last name.  ANTI-FEMINIST OMG. (Actually you seem to get flamed either way with this one).

    My grandmother refuses to let FI move in because of the whole "why by the cow". I told her that FI and I have since broken up because he is gay. We still consider eathother best friends so I have offered to let him be my roommate.

    Wrkn, that's amazing.

    My relationship is doomed because:

    1) We are high school sweethearts. Those NEVER last.

    2) I am 20, and he is 21. Therefore, we are too young and not smart enough to know that our relationship is serious.

    3) Depending on when we get engaged, we will have a long engagement.

    4) We both live with our parents because NYC real-estate ain't cheap. We will probably live at home until we engaged (probably well after).

    5) We will get married before going to graduate school.

    1)      I1) I went with my boyfriend to look at rings, so apparently now theres no surprise.

    2) The ring I love is exactly 1 carat so he loves me only as much as he has to.

    3) I don’t care if my diamond is a “blood diamond” (I think the same thing about organic food, how do you really know)

    4) I’ve killed a few kittens with the “Unofficially Engaged” statement.

    5) I will never sacrifice my last name.

    6) I am currently in between denominations right now, BF is die hard Lutheran

    7) We will cancel each other out in every election.

    8) BF and I have casually talked about everything from wedding colors to honeymoons.

    9) I do NOT want children ever. I detest them. BF knows and agrees with this, also my mother is relieved because she claims I would eat my own young. I would love for someone to figure out how to register for a sterilization operation.

     

    Add: BF calls me wifey  and sometimes I refer to him as hubby.

    1.  DH kept my ring in the box on our dresser for over a year before giving it to me while we lived together.  Surprised

    2.  When DH *did* finally propose, he did it one night in our bedroom as I was finishing my nightly toothbrushing routine.  So very romantic.  Tongue out

    3.  We had most everything for our wedding already planned out and had already designed most of the DIY.

    4.  I bought my dress before we were engaged.

    5.  My ring was free, and is 0.1 carat, and not very high quality.  My wedding band was also free, and I have no idea the size or quality of the diamonds or emeralds, and don't care.  They are both heirlooms.

    6.  We are both attorneys, and I am still in grad school.  He supports me now that I'm out of work (or will in...T minus 10 days, when I convert to a SAHW).

    7.  We had a garter toss and a bouquet toss.

    8.  We danced to Metallica for our first song.

    9.  I wore sneakers under my dress, and he had dice cufflinks.  My bustle was also held in place by a safety pin, because he ripped out the real one stepping on my dress.  Twice.

    10.  I'm 29, which I'm pretty sure makes me an old and bitter hag.

    1) We have discussed, in depth, when and where we want to get married.  We currently have two main options: if he graduates on time, Aug/Sept near my hometown.  If he graduates a semester early (new possible development), March/April in Costa Rica.

    2) I will not be having bridesmaids.  My MOH will be my brother.  No girls in matching dresses?  Clearly not a real wedding!

    3) We live together... oh, the horrors!  Oh, and we have a joint bank account.

    4) He is in the military and neither of us are religious, which are apparently both factors that have high divorce rates.

    5) I don't want an engagement pony.  Seriously!  Not an animal person.  I'll take an engagement trip over an engagement ring, though!

    My grandparents and extended family got over me being the "cradle rocker" when I was 16 years old and dating a 21 year old (creepy, I know).  Or when I decided to move to China for 6 months in college.  Or when I backpacked solo through Europe for 4 months.  They basically know I'm going to do what I want to do anyway, so when I told my very Catholic grandmother that I would be moving down to Florida to live with BF, she was simply happy for me and skipped the being shocked bit.  I've trained them well!
