Here's the ring. I'm stoked. We don't have a date yet. We aren't done with school yet, and our jobs suck, but we know we are in love and we know we're going to do it, and as shocking as it was when he asked me, I'm sure I did the right thing when I said yes!
Yeah!!! Congratulations! Now you can quit school/work and spend the rest of your life bare foot and pregnant in the kitchen cooking for your man. lol I wish you all the happiness in the world.
wow that's a huge step for you and that's a brave decisions since you haven't had a date yet?? btw congrats
Gorgeous ring, but getting married before you've settled in a career and have more certainty in your life is a risky choice.
LOL. They have been on a million dates. She meant they haven't set a date for the wedding. Silly. LOL. I AM TOTALLY THE MAID OF HONOR!!!! Your wedding is going to kick ass. :cheers2::cheers2:
Thanks all for congrats. I'm very excited now (even though I was turrfied at first, lol. ). Only a year and I'm out of college. Biotech is in demand right now, so I'm not scared. He'll be out of culinary arts school in less than two years. We're shooting for sometime after that. Thus the reason we have not yet set a date. We have lived together (in my parents house) for over 8 months. He's only just had to move back to Maine because there is no work around here. He's busy saving up money from a decent-paying job. I just got a little part-time one myself with another coming along to add to it in September while I'm at school. It's tough out there for everyone right now. We're aware of the obstacles, but that's no reason not to try. I blubbered. Very loudly. In his ear. He says he doesn't remember if that gives you an idea of his own state of mind at that point, lol. Oh wow, sorry about the confusion, but like mele said, we haven't set a date for the ceremony. Or a location. See, he has family in Maine and Florida and mine is in New York. Big headache I'm just not ready for right now. Oy. We are tossing around ideas, though. Like possibly an autumn wedding (since we started dating in October- also it's my favorite month). And it's also been proposed that we have the families meet in thew middle in New Hampshire or something. At first it was a joke, but it's looking more and more tempting all the time... Thanks.
Saddie's jealous self needs to stop taking a shit on other people's happiness. Everything doesn't go "in order" how you want it to in this life. The "perfect life" would go like this: -Grow up in a nice household in a nice neighborhood with a nice, functional family...and both of your (real) parents. -Go to a nice fancy uniform-wearing private school -Graduate from a private high school with honors -Get a $20,000 to an Ivy League school or private college -Decide what you want to do with the rest of your life in your freshman year -Work toward that same exact goal through out your college years and get a degree in what you decided you wanted to do initially -Graduate from college suma cum laude with your bachelor's and five internships in your field -Get hired straight out of college with a great company that pays you six figures a year -Get married to your college sweetheart, and five years down the line, after you've "established" yourself, start having babies ETC. ETC. ETC.... Most people's lives don't go in this order, and most of this doesn't happen to most people, period. ...with that said, CONGRATS, firefly!
Haha, I'll see what I can do. Well, I've got two of those down, lol. Wait, it wasn't a private high school... but I did graduate with advanced designation! And I am going to a private college with a bachelor's in biomed on the horizon (spring '10!). Oh an only four internships, not five... bummer (not). I can't wait to start my life. Even if I don't end up rich, I just want something to call my own, even if it's a cracker-box... and having that special someone by my side to share it with me won't exactly be a drag. Thanks!
Congratulations :cheers2: Love the ring, this may sound slightly strange but it fits your hands, lol The circumstances may not be the best now, but give it time, eventually you'll both be able to break out of your school-years and crappy jobs and hopefully enjoy a happy ever after! L_S
