So about three months ago, bf and I celebrated our third year together. We were driving past a church trying to find a car park - not any random church, the church where we went to finish our first date because it has an amazing view over part of our city, and shared our first kiss.
We couldn't find one so he said "We just won't go this year, but the next time we go you will have a ring on your finger." Which to me translates to "I'm gonna ask in the next 12 months" mainly because we are both agnostics so we don't normally make a habit of walking onto church property. I told him this, so he said "Well I'm not going to ask in the next three months" and they are now nearly up.
I'm not sure that he has realised how much speculation this has put on me about when and where He already knows that I wouldn't like it to be like our friends engagement, he asked her dad, walked into the next room and then asked her, so my brain just gets all like "I hope he doesn't do it there, I hope he doesn't do it then" But it's not my choice, so I know I should stop...
So I work in a Stationery store that sells magazines, I made a concession too him and said "would it freak you out if I start bringing home bridal magazines?" The reason I want to is because they are freaking expensive, are usually quarterlies, and if I don't start collecting now, it's going to cost a lot. I don't plan on still being there past Christmas. Also the plus side is I can get the magazines free if we don't have to send the whole magazine back to the distributor, we just have to rip the cover off. He said it would a little, but agreed when I told him the reasoning behind it
The other thing, I have no idea when we would actually get married, both of us are students, and our parents have no way of contributing money. So any wedding is likely to be two or more years out anyway. Both of us should be in the "real" workforce tomorrow (as in, not working part time)
I dunno, I guess all this talk of weddings and engagements on here is just getting me all worked up again over not much...
