I did the same with my 2nd. Where do I need to be, and what time. As far as the ring, I have a wayyyyy different opinion. I bought her ring. If she didnt like it, tough ****. She isnt marrying the ring. If I know her well enough to be marrying her, I should be able to pick something out she will like. Just my opinion however, but she never saw the ring until it was on her finger. Good luck though!! Congrats!!

 

mine didn't know i was going to do it and we had looked at rings but i would buy a truck part and say yep that was your ring. so she kinda gave up on expecting it. but since then its been 10months and all the planning that i dont care about. I say what ever and go on with what i am doing. my buddy got engaged on a saturday nite and by tuesday his now wife had bought her dress and picked out brides made dresses. booked the church, reception area, food, had the hotel booked for the honey moon. you want to talk about moving fast. he was freaking out.

 

*takes notes*

 

So your g/f goes home every night after visiting hours are over?

 

My opinion...She needs to know what is about to be WE and OURS and what life is going to be after the wedding financially. If she doesn't take a somewhat conservative route with the costs of things then I'd think deeply on it.

This isn't a problem of the next wheels you think look good on your truck.

This is the turning point of how you will be financially for the rest of your life. If she isn't in line with your plan then think about where you will be when you are 50.

Not to be gloom and doom but just don't let the moment and hype control you decision.

It is never too late.

 

Yep she stays Friday and Saturday night with me thou....

The ring yes, but that is what I want her to have, that is all me, I took her there, I let her pick, and I am OK with it, cause it makes her happy... Actually it is not that expensive.... Honestly I don't see the big deal, most of you spend more on your wheels and tires or motors or superchargers or turbos..... And yall are giving me crap.....

I never said we were booking an expensive place.... If you knew me and my GF you would understand.... We are trying to find a small Bed-N-Breakfast type of place in the mountains in colorado around where she grew up, her parents still live up there.... It is going to be outdoors with a small reception afterwards.... Nothing super fancy or overly done... Cause that is not the type of people we are, actually we are very simple.... We are only inviting immediate family, so only about 20-30 people...

 

This is basically what we want, but with mountains in the background....

 

Just be glad she knows what she wants, my ex couldn't ever make up her mind about anything. It drained me making decisions just so she could rip them to shreds.... so we JPed it and had a cookout.

 

my wedding is already planned and i havent even popped the question yet. girls live for the ****. just go with the flow and drink plenty the day of

enjoy the last couple weeks of your life

 

Black that's a really nice idea, though I would prefer to be somewhere more secluded, like Mauritius. http://www.mauritius.net/index.php
