AW ... aka -- why bf is driving me crazy

I am full of posts today ... boss is out and it's fairly quiet here.

So back in Dec or so there was a poll about who might be getting engaged over the holidays. My name came up a few times. But I knew that wouldn't happen, because bf has this thing about wanting to live with someone before he proposes, but that he did plan on marrying me someday. We've been living together about 6 weeks now and the wedding chatter has started in our household (and it isn't always initiated by me, surprisingly).

It started with him asking what kind of ring I would want. Then what my size was and he gave me a ring sizer to measure with. Then he said that he knows when and how he is going to ask me, but he wants to wait until after his sister's wedding in June (doesn't want to steal her thunder), but it will happen some time this year -- so that's a six month window. Then he made a comment about our wedding being next summer because we have a lot of teachers in the family who would need to travel if they came and we want to be mindful of that. We have discussed venue, style of wedding, all that stuff. But he won't give me any hints on when he plans on popping the question. He just smirks and says keeping his plan from me is very hard, but he wants to surprise me.

Grrr ...

    Boo to you achase! But yes, you know me. I am a total planner. At least he is indulging that side of me by talking about the actual wedding plan. He just really wants the proposal to be a surprise.

  • XFI did that to me...I was getting a bit antsy, and he gave me a one-year window.  It IS kind of romantic for it to be a surprise....
