I loved that you proposed! You rock! Though, I think if I had proposed, I wouldn't have given an engagement ring. Maybe an engagement flatscreen.

Thats exactly what I used to think..and I definitely want to get married our way, just me and him.

No ring here either LOL ! and I got a flat screen to celebrate our moving in together, thats enough spoiling for him anyway

Congratulations!! Wonderful news Nat!!!

Isn't it funny how points of view can change with the right one. I'm pretty much right there with you on not needing to get married as I am 100% committed to my SO. BUT, and there's a but, I have the most gorgeous antique platinum setting wedding ring from my grandmother ... and lately it has been in my thoughts more and more. I really would love to wear it. lol

.... and don't be scared, it sounds to me like you're ready and it's the excitement of it all that is giving you butterflies. Look at it this way, a new chapter with the man you love, getting those fluttering butterflies again .... what could feel better.

Thanks so much for all the great words especially the butterflies part, sweets, I so hope you`re right, i am scared and excited at the same time !

You know, maybe its time to put that gorgeous ring on your finger and see how it feels...

Congratulations on your engagement. My DH & I got married 9 days after we got engaged! We shocked ourselves by planning a small wedding in that amount of time. (and our DD#1 arrived 29 days later)

Of course you are scared, you're normal! lol Shoot, my SO and I have been together for so long and I know I'd be normal.

I think you asking him just says it all, what an exciting time. Enjoy it all, especially those butterflies my friend.

..... oh, and the ring I've been thinking more and more it might feel pretty darn good.

Congratulations! You rock for switching things up and being the one to propose.

In high school I had a drama teacher who told us the story of how she proposed to her husband: they were dancing in a night club and she leaned over and said, 'So when are you going to make an honest woman of me?'. I LOVE that story and always thought I'd like to be like that and be the one to propose.

Congrats again and I wish you all the best
