He has the engagement ring in hand. The centerstone is 1.59 carats. It's 14 karat gold. They've been together 6 years. He's trying to wait until daughter's birthday to propose. I'm dying to tell her! There, now I've said it to somebody. No way y'all can spill the beans. I'm beyond excited.

    Oooh, how exciting!!! I hope it is everything you both are hoping for. That is a major step. I wish them both much happiness.

    Hard to keep quiet, I know. Glad you could come here and share your excitement.

    DH would know that feeling! Before they DSIL and DD went on a month long holiday to Europe, DSIL actually came to see DH to ask his blessing as he planned to propose while they were there. DH said nothing to me at the time. Then, while we were in Bali on a holiday, DD called me to tell me that DSIL had proposed! It was my birthday, and it was the best birthday ever! (DD and DSIL had been together for about 10 years at that point, and we just loved DSIL and had hoped for years they'd finally make the jump :-) ).

    When I got the call we were being taken back to our accommodation from a tour, and had stayed many times at that particular place and were friends with all the staff. So as soon as we got back I was excitedly telling all the staff and anyone else who would stand still for long enough to hear :-D

    How long do you have to wait until daughter's birthday? You must be positively buzzing with excitement :-D

    How much longer to we have to keep this quiet?


    Wooo hoooO!

    She didn't have input on the ring she will wear 24/7 FOREVER? You really don't think she's seeing this coming? I don't hear stories like this much anymore. Why her birthday? Exciting times. Hopefully it all goes well. Our future SIL chickened out, delayed, many tears.... Now that we are 10 days out from the wedding it all seems worth it.

    Wahoo!!

    Exciting times for sure, and I’m sure you really wanr the whole world to know. You can keep it secret, hopefully not for too long til her birthday.

    @arcy_gw, hopefully after six years BF will have an idea of Daughter’s taste. And I would think that Daughter can have the ring altered to suit her if it doesn’t.

    The hardest thing in the world is to keep a joyous secret. You came to the right place.

    Mums the word!

    Keep us posted. And, yes we want to the ring!!

  • yesterday

    Weeks, not months to wait ;)


    She had input, but doesn't know the final GORGEOUS design. He and I both know she'll love it. If we don't know what she likes, no one would.

    Thats so exciting and sweet. I am curious to know if others here who are married help design their own engagement ring? Mine was a surprise.

    , but pretty.

    Congrats in advance, Rob! If she’s got access to either of your phones, delete messages. My friend’s daugjter just had the surprise ruined when she saw a text on her mom’s phone.

    I have been doing so food. I only have one picture of it at all, and it's in an archived spot, so she'd really have to look for it.

    Oh congrats! You're lucky you can come here to let the secret out. That's a big one to try and keep quiet.
