He Proposed!...

[meeka]

So,... I'm in an LDR and I'm in love with my boyfriend! We've been apart for ages and our main form of communication is via phone! He proposed to me a few months ago! it was romantic, but not in a conventional way! He asked me and I said yes! but I don't feel like I'm engaged! It's not because I don't have a ring! In fact, I'm not that bothered about having a ring! I suppose it's because we decided that we would wait until we could celebrate it together, then we would go public. We've spent a lot of time discussing our lifes, our desires and dreams for our marriage and we've started to think about our wedding, which hopefully will happen next year! So I've not really told many people about our intentions! We thought we'd wait until we were ready to announce it! I can see that this is an event intended for my future, but it just doesn't feel real to me right now! It feels a long way away, even though it is not really when your arranging a wedding! It's kind of a strange predicament to be in! I guess I'll feel differently when we've celebrated it together! It will become more real to me!

The reality of it will soon to follow but him being away is hard and make things feel the same way as they were before. If you dont mind me asking why is he gone or whats the story?

Congratulations! You sound about as excited and giddy as me :) I understand how you feel about wanting to tell everyone, but having to wait. Jeff and I have known for awhile that we want to get married, but he hasn't "officially" proposed to me yet, he has some romantic plan up his sleeve for how he's going to do it. We have been talking about and looking into planning for our wedding, which will be next year, but since I don't have a ring or the official proposal, I can't really talk to my family and friends about it yet, they would think I was totally jumping the gun, although the proposal is merely a nice formality at this point. How far apart are you two anyway, and who is going to move to be with who? Long distance relationships can be tough, but some people, like yourselves, are emotionally equipped to handle it. Best of luck!

Congras! When he proposed, i was equally excited. But when it's time to legally get registered, i got kinda chicken-out and got worried, etc. Hahaha.

Gradually you will accept it. And enjoy it and all.

But one thing, you will miss your family like crazy.

Enjoy!
