He Proposed TODAY!

[misstimberlake]

What should I do? I am so totally floored. I didn't say anything, I was so and I was quite hysterical.

Here's the story:

I woke up this morning, to find my boyfriend was watching me from the chair in my room, at first I was shocked to see him, since he hadn't stayed the night. He said that he loved watching me sleep, I looked so peaceful and angelic. I thought to myself as he said this that he'd done something wrong and was trying to appologise for it.

He made me breakfast (muffins, yoghurt, orange juice, tea and a delicate rose), I was thinking maybe he's making up for valentines day (which he forgot). Anyway he said that he'd taken the day off from work and decided to spend the day with me and if I was interested in going for a picnic since it was a nice day.

So we set off on our picnic (chicken, beef, crusty bread, olives, green salad, champagne, strawberries) he gave me the glass of champagne and I took a sip, it was cold and bubbly and made my insides go strange (cant explain it - something like the way he looks at me - sort of thing) well after a few more glasses of champs and some delicious food (which he cooked) I fell asleep.

I woke up some hours later but not noticing the diamond ring flashing away on my ring finger. until after we had dessert. when i saw it I knew what it meant, and I freaked. He said he loved me and wanted us to get married, he wanted me to be his wife, so he could love me for the rest of his natural life and beyond. And without me, he had nothing.

At first I though (he's loaded, flash cars, posh houses, holidays, money, jewellery) NOW WAIT A MINUTE! I'm not with him because of all that, I didn't even know he was rich when we met.

My answer was: Can I think about it

He said: I don't want to pressure you, just know that I Love You.

I said: Me too.

DILEMMA:
Should I marry him? Or should we wait to know eachother longer.

Awww! he sounds lovely! Congartulations, hun!

As for waiting till you know each other better, how long have you known him?
Like most thing, is seems to me that if you have to ask, you're not ready, but then again also, as with most things, ony you know, so erm.....I dont really have an answer for u.

It was a lovely story, tho

If you dont want to get married, yet, how about you live together for a while. Its not the traditional thing, but I guess most people do it nowadays.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww How bloody sweet.....I'd love that to happen!

You've struck gold hunny many congrats!

[MandyUK]

Damn! You have to think about it... ?

Oh congrats, that is soooooo romantic!

I'm think I'm going to cry now...

[AussieJules]

Congratulations are in order *tips a glass of champs*

Sounds like a wonferful fairy story! Waking up to a ring on the finger! Trust your gut dear. Your first instinct was to freak out, i'd be going with that!

Lot of couples get all hyped up about getting married, they are seeing the "now" aspect. Dont think about the wedding! Think about AFTER the wedding. Yano... finances, where you are going to live, what bills you are going to have to share, how long will the "honey moon" last after the wedding. Hes all champs and strawberries now but will he be the same 6-12 months down the track. Just do me a favour dear.... look beyond the wedding first before you get carried away picking out a dress.

I hope you make the right choice dear.

First let me say this man of yours sounds very romantic. But if you have to ask what you should do then you are clearly not ready to marry this guy. You should only marry someone if you are 100% sure that you want to spend the rest of your life with him, and if you need to think about it then you are not sure.

Why not do the next best thing and move in together instead. Many relationships change once you are co-habiting. Sometimes for the better and sometimes not. I believe it's always a good idea to live with someone before you marry them, so that you know exactly what you are letting your self in for. Don't rush into anything that you're not sure of.

Good luck!

OMG wow that sounds amazing, i was kinda filling up! , congrats hun

If you feel you should wait - then wait. It is a big thing.

I'd say wait until you move in with him first - then you'll know him a whole lot better.

The OP was made over 3 years ago. So I wonder if she got married.
