To wonder why I didn’t get engaged this weekend?

[icecreamgirl94]

(Lighthearted because knowing me I’ve probably got totally the wrong end of the stick)
Last week I stumbled across a ring box hidden away (I honestly wasn’t snooping I just accidentally found it while putting something away). Obviously I didn’t say anything. But now we’ve had Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day and no proposal.
I’m just baffled generally tbh as we’re not that type of couple, we’ve always said when we want to get married we’ll just start planning it together. We’ve had quite an up and down year with covid obviously and DP got ill in the summer, but we also had our first successful pregnancy so I thought maybe he’d decided to make a big gesture. But nothing.
Has he changed his mind? 😂
Was it not actually for me? 😂
It’s so silly I just keep laughing at myself. What’s going on?? 😂😂

Lovely ring. Congratulations

Do you really cry with laughter at the end of every sentence?

I've been smiling the entire time reading this thread and then when I saw the pic I just gushed 😍🥰 what a wonderful story and a beautiful ring! So so happy for you! Congratulations OP!

Congratulations anyway. 🍾

@BorisKilledMyHusband ...did Boris really kill your husband? 🤔

Glad you find my DH’s death so fucking hilarious.

Sorry for the derail OP. And apologies if my earlier post was somewhat snippy.

@coastergirl oh no I hope people don’t remember that thread (even though it helped me so much) because I was so embarrassingly hysterical through most of it! Thank you 😊
@BorisKilledMyHusband oh god! No I don’t but I’m aware I do it all the time in text talk, trust me I’ve been told multiple times how annoying it is so I do apologise. Thanks for the congratulations anyway 😊 Please feel free to derail the thread, the proposal’s done now and your experience sounds far more interesting!

@BorisKilledMyHusband oh god now I’m actually not sure if you’re joking or not 😳

Gorgeous ring and a lovely proposal. Congratulations OP.

It’s late and it looks like we are all at cross-purposes. So I suggest we park this one and I’m off to get some much-needed sleep.

Congratulations once again OP. Really and genuinely glad for you. 💐💐

Stop derailing this enjoyable thread. 🙄

OP, congratulations - lovely ring. 💍

Just popped back on MN to check if there was an update! Enormous congratulations to you and your family!! The ring is gorgeous! ♥️

Just ask him 🤷‍♀️

Where was the box?
There could be anything or nothing inside!
Have you found it again?
Is he acting differently?

Beautiful ring. Congratulations 🥳

Ohhhhhh, I completely missed most of the thread!
Many congratulations icecreamgirl94, to both you and your future husband!!

Congratulations OP, what a great story. Best wishes to you both.

Definitely delighted, was welling up reading the story. Congratulations 🥰

Congratulations! The ring looks lovely.

Love the story of the proposal too, thank you, especially about your DP’s recovery from illness and that he sussed that you’d been in the drawer

Just wait 4 ny x
