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?? 😂😂

Haven't RTFT, only your posts @icecreamgirl94 but what a lovely thread. CONGRATULATIONS!

Nice engagement ring too.

Aw what a lovely story OP. I LOVE the bit about “what’s that up there?” and that initially you didn’t realise what he was doing (until the lift). And how fab and romantic that he is able to lift you again (the appendicitis story sounds terrifying). Glad you don’t care how much the ring cost - it’s gorgeous, and you two sound like a fab couple, that’s all that matters. 💍💕🥂 xxx

Huge congratulations op!

This is lovely heartwarming news. We all need a bit of cheer right now. This is perfect. Congratulations OP..: love a happy ending

I know I keep saying it but I don’t want to be rude and ignore anyone so thank you everyone for your lovely messages 🥰

You're most welcome, OP.

I would equally like to express my apologies for bringing down the positive mood in this thread.

I simply defended you because someone made a comment that was unnecessary, rude and spiteful.

I apologise if I have tainted your happiness in any way, shape or form.

Congratulations again and wishing you both nothing but happiness and longevity.

Happy New Year

Whoop whoop! Congratulations!

@rocky1914 absolutely no need to apologise. Happy New Year 😊

@icecreamgirl94 thank you. Same to you and all the best x

Hello? What happened? Did she get the ring?

Ok...sorry. I have read it all now. CONGRATULATIONS. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Congratulations

Congratulations I too am waiting for a 💍 any day after it being let slip one has been purchased! This thread has made me excited

Just ask him!

I cry for all the women who flagellate themselves and abdicate any control over their future at the whimsy of a man. No wonder feminism is struggling.

Fabulous news!! I'm beaming from ear to ear for you both! He sounds like he knows you so well and found the ring.

Aw congrats OP what a nice wee story with a happy ending this has been !

Congratulations, how wonderful

@coochyboochy

Just ask him!

Bit late for that now...

Thanks everyone! 🥰
@coochyboochy I would’ve had no problem saying no if I didn’t want to marry him, and if he hadn’t asked me by today I would’ve done the asking myself 😬 The original plan was to just plan a wedding together at some point with no proposal but he had a health scare earlier this year which prompted the gesture 👍🏻
