Just Engaged and Proposals

He Finally Did It!

My (now) fiance finally proposed last night! He's had the ring since June but hasn't had the courage to ask. It wasn't really romantic but I don't care about that. We were just cuddling in bed and he asked. I didn't even know he was serious until he pulled out the ring. He kind of feels bad right not because he didn't do anything big and elaborate like he was planning (apparently he made a deal with some snowmen). Since it seemed to bother him so much I said if he wanted he could do something romantic tomorrow. 

We set the date for September 13th of this year but we're not sure if we're just going to sign the papers or throw a small backyard party. I'm leaning towards the small party with close family and friends but he's afraid I'm going to regret not having a grand elaborate wedding so we'll have to figure that out before too long but right now I'm enjoying my newly engaged status!

  • Congrats and happy planning!  Don't worry about a romantic proposal; the success of your marriage does not correlate with the size of the proposal! My husband proposed to me by changing our Facebook statuses. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • Congrats! I agree, don't worry about the proposal not being "romantic"! My FI never really proposed to me as such, we kind of just agreed to get married after discussing the possibility now and then for a few months.

    Addie, that's cute your H proposed by changing fb statuses! :)

    When my FI proposed to me, it was with a ring from a quarter machine. A few months later we got the "real" ring (even though I was in love with my quarter machine ring). It went away to be resized and when he got it back, I insisted on wearing it before he got the chance for a "real" proposal (because I was knee-deep in wedding planning for our June wedding). At first he was really upset, but as time went on and he heard me tell people our proposal story I think he realized that it wasn't about the "perfect proposal."

    As for the size of your wedding, take your time and discuss it with the people most important to you.

    Enjoy your planning and congratulations!
