SEAN SEAN SEAN SEAN SEAN OH MY GOD CONGRATS!!

<333!!!


I can't really be helpful though because I'm probably not going to get married until I'm late 20's, or probably never at all ;_;

I have never married, but have proposed. Don't start in with sympathy. It had been a successful proposal. She said yes. Complications arose later, we had a falling out and dissolved the engagement.

But I proposed at a large scale fountain at the center of Lexington, KY. It was nothing elaborate or keyed up other than I went down on one knee with an open ring box in my hand. It was surprisingly easy and a fun experience, really.

Haha, I hear that... but if things stay on track with my current lady, she's still a bit young... if we wait until she's done with school, then I'll be pushing 28 by the time I'm finally hitched. Of course, there's no rule against a long engagement! A friend of mine has been engaged for seven years now. They promised each other they'd wait until they were done with school to get married, and they've been living together for years. Since they're both in graduate school, who knows how much more time they might have. :3

Wow, born 1990. I don't think I'd ever date anyone born in the '90s. That's cute though. For me it's less of a long engagement or whatever, but more of that my current bf and I will be going in different directions in life and I honestly am awful at relationships. :T

... cradle robber! :3

Same boat here, buddy. She was born in '90, myself in '86, and she's also wasted a lot of college time because she changed majors....

We're planning on attempting to make the whole family thing happen around college for her, because I really don't want to wait until I'm 30 to be married, settled, and starting the creation of bebbes, I grew up with a pretty old dad, and I've seen other friends do it, and we all agree it pretty much sucks, you see these kids with their dads in their 40s and still in good shape with no health problems, able to do all that "family stuff."

I don't want to be my dad, no offense to him, my dad's great, but ever since I was in 6th grade his health has gotten continually worse and I never got to do much with him after awhile.

Anyways, waitin' on the ring now, gonna propose on or around our anniversary on June 2nd. >_>;

Her cousin already proposed to his (now wife) in the way I wanted to, just casually going "Hey, marry me, here's a ring" and tossing it at her. =\ He didn't plan it that way, but she wasn't paying attention and so he just threw it at her, I thought it was funny.

Either way, our engagement will be a pretty long one, not really worried about that.

I popped the f*cking question yesterday. It wasn't a huge dramatic f8cking thing. We had dinner with my family, and half way through I stood up got down on own knee, told her how much she means to me, and asked her to marry me. She said yes..how could you not say yes to me. jk.. Anyway we don't have a date, but it will be sometime before my active duty starts.

Sometimes it helps to go on a date or two before you get married.












See what I did there?

'Grats, Sean.

Last year, it was pretty much implied that my boyfriend was going to propose. He gave me an engagement ring for our fourth anniversary. Needless to say, I didn't really expect it and I knew he was planning to ask but... I didn't want it. In fact, I'd been thinking of winding the relationship to a halt at that point.

I broke up with him in October and we don't talk anymore. He was devastated and I feel guilty about the whole thing, but I realised that I just didn't love him and didn't want to be in a situation like that anymore. I've since taken the ring off and left it in a box of his stuff somewhere in my house. One of the reasons, apart from not feeling it anymore and wanting space/to be alone, was because I knew he wanted it and I knew that I didn't.
I feel far too young to be married or engaged right now and I'm enjoying being single. Since then, I've had a few casual flings, sexual and otherwise and I plan on continuing that until I find somebody I have a really good feeling about... which I'm not Hell-bent on finding right now anyway.

Personally, I don't even want to think about marriage. I think it would take somebody really special to convince me to get married. I'd like it to be done in a certain way. But mostly I'd like it to be casual. One of my friends got proposed to when they were just walking around in London in the rain. That sounds perfect to me.

SEAN. AWESOME!

Skip the easter egg hunt and go with the zoo plan. It's a big commitment, so why not sear it into both of your memories with something grand? Sounds like you're ready so no doubt it'll go great.
