me and my partner have known eachother for 6 years as friends. we have been together for 18 months
and living together for a year. we have never had an argument and get on perfectly. we talk about getting married and having more children but he wants to move to a bigger house and to the other side of the country first (its all in progress.. just feels like its taking ages). anyway so because of the move and buying a house he doesn't have hundreds of pounds to spend on a ring. he wants to save first blah blah blah. and I'm like why?? I don't care how expensive a ring is, just as long as it's from him. am I wrong to just want him to get on with it? it feels like we should be taking the next step. we aren't planning a massively expensive wedding just close family and friends on a beach. we are also desperate for another baby, which will come after marriage this time. what is taking him so long? obviously we will marry after the move and things have settled down but I just want to get on with It. it all sounds crazy as we are so young (20, 21) but it just feels so right.
am I wrong for just wanting to make him hurry up?

All your other threads completely contradict this one OP.

Why so obsessed with an item of jewellery? You have already discussed marriage and your future together, ergo you are in fact already engaged. Wanting a proposal now is a bit like going on holiday to France and, after you've been there several days, your partner saying 'Oh, would you like to go on holiday to France?'

Jen if you search her name it comes up with lots of contradictory threads, even one from 2 weeks ago saying that her child is 2.5. I should have searched when I saw it mentioned by somebody else, not replied and then searched.

Yes 21 is a bit young too be rushing things. Seems like your dp has his priorities in order.
