So my fiance and i recently got engaged while we were vacationing in europe for 3 weeks. We have been together for 3 1/2 years. It wasnt all that exciting-infact there was no ring and no "on one knee moment." Since we have been home i still dont have a ring. He wont go shopping for one and he says he doesnt want to talk about wedding plans until Jan 1. (We just told our parents on xmas even though we have been engaged for 3 weeks-we thought it would be a good presant.) This in turn means that i am brainstorming all these ideas and he wont talk about them. I am stressing about finding a venue since our guest list might be large...i dont even know how many people he might have on his list from college, family i may not know...etc.
Imagine the most romantic person in the world and he is the complete oposite. I love him with all my heart and wouldnt imagine being with anyone else. Dont get me wrong that he is excited to get married but its hard to me to live in the "newly engaged glow" when i have no clue what he would like on his big day too. He makes little comments here and there but wont have a full discussion. Now granted he did say that he wouldnt have a clue on what ring to get me so i can pick out my own...which is nice but i went and bought a cheap fake ring to take place of the ring i dont even have yet. I feel like a dork explaing to people that i have a cheapy ring that is turing my finger green. When we got home from our vacation i showed him some rings in the local paper that were on sale and all he could say was "that's expensive!" I was like-yes they are were you expecting a 200 buck ring for the rest of my life?
And i guess i really could care less about the ring....i know that diamonds dont mean someone loves you....i just wish he was more excited about it than he is right now....sigh.
