How important is proposing, engagement ring, etc, to you?

[bailey_marithe]

wow ang dami replies! thanks mga sis!

well i finally got a ring - on my birthday. alam ko pa kung magkano ... ok lang na hindi mahal kaso sana di ba hindi ko na lang alam kung ano yun price hehe.

but he never asked me something about marrying him. basta ang sinabi lang nya, bday/engagement ko daw yun. well, it really feels different wearing a ring. parang official na. then we started announcing to our friends, relatives na we are going to get married. we also started to look into venues for reception, and church. we plan to get married on Nov 11, 2011. hehe

^wow! 11-11-11. congrats sis!

[sydxoxo]

ok, this thread made me teary eyed 

for me, e-ring is not important but the proposal is. i want a well-planned proposal than an extravagant church wedding. pero ano use ng proposal if walang ring right? maybe a white-gold ring with small rock ok na siguro. i'm not about the size of the diamond, mas particular ako sa clarity. if may bugdet si fiance why not, but if wala, kahit anong ring na lang pwde na siguro pero sana hindi fake kasi i don't buy fake stuff

re: 11-11-11

Naisip ko na din yan before, kasi kung 10-10-10 sobrang aga, lahat rush. Yung BFF ko humirit wag daw 11 kasi baka magka-onsehan, lokohan daw ibig sabihin nun isa pa birthday ni exgf ni BF yun. Peace out sis

[bailey_marithe]

ok lang sis haha

i just thought i want to make it memorable and unique kasi that date only occurs once in a thousand years (tama ba ako?) hehe

its better not to expect anything, for when our expectations fail us, it will really hurt. on the other hand, if we don't expect any proposal to happen, it just...happens...and it did happen to me! my bf just formally proposed a marriage to me last thursday

"Too much expectations will lead to Frustrations.."

in my case, i dont have an engagement ring to flaunt.. nor an unforgettable proposal to look back at.. like you, i also dreamt of these things.. but i learned to feel contented with what my partner can give me.. besides, di naman nasusukat ang pagsasama sa laki ng bato ng singsing na suot mo e.. it's way deeper than that.. our relationship that was soon to be blessed in the sacrament of Matrimony, witnessed by our loved ones and friends.. yan ang goal ko.. and to live a life with him for the rest of my life..

pero kung meron namang e-ring, of course.. di rin naman ako tatanggi..  but since wala, okay na rin..

Got married on 07.07.07

[princessrio]

ako kahit wala..his sincerity when he proposed and his future plans for us are enough for me. love..love..love..

will be married next year

For me, wedding proposal is no big deal talaga, start pa lang ng relationship namin i already informed him that i wouldn't really prefer a wedding proposal, my reason then was, mainly i'm not fond of wearing rings, magsuot man ako kalahating araw pa lang nasa loob na sya ng pouch ko. and also i'm a very practical person, the money that he would spend on proposal and the ring could be spent or saved on something that would benefit us both.
Getting married in the last quarter of 2011, and it was a decision made over series of  kwentuhans before going to bed..that just evolved as days go bye as we talk about our dreams and goals then he said let's get it started by getting married..then i said ok! cool...

I think, its also important kasi this is a memory you will cherish, like your wedding di ba we prepare for it coz its something that we will cherish para sakin ganon din ang proposal.  However, hindi naman nasusukat ang pagiging memorable ng isang proposal with the ring.  Siguro basta romantic and loving yung way nag pagppropose ni h2b talagang machecherish nyo pareho un. 

to be honest, syempre dream ko talaga yung very romantic proposal but when it was almost our 4th anniversary as bf/gf and matagal na namin nadidiscuss na we would get married when i am 25 so parang alam ko na na sasabihin na nya sa akin on our anniversary date na magplan na kami ng wedding, syempre deep inside hoping ako na may romantic proposal.

And as expected he proposed on our 4th anniversary with matching huge bouquet of flowers and na touch ako kasi he remembered once i told him i want an e-ring na may amethyst stones kasi un ang birth stone ko, he gave me a ring with diamonds and amethyst.  kaya lang when he proposed sabi nya parang nadisappoint daw sya dahil parang hindi ako nasurprise.

two weeks after his proposal, after we were out all day with my sister looking for stuff for the wedding (wedding rings in particular) pag uwi namin sa bahay namin nakaupo sa sofa then all of a sudden he knelt before me ang gave me another e-ring! this time diamond nalang wala ng amethyst! sobrang naiyak ako sa pagkasurprise then he grinned at me sabi "that's more like it!" hahah sira ulo!  kaya pala nagtataka ako nagyaya sya agad na tumingin ng wedding rings ayun pala he was looking for another e-ring. 

so i guess i'm blessed I got two proposals and we've been married for 4 years now.

^awwwww sis that is soooooo sweeeeeet!

[kreez]

^haay sis kakilig pa rin pag naaalala ko kahit five years ago na haha

[baby michael]

for me, it's very important..

kami din, we planned for the wedding na before the actual proposal.. i thought wala na kong magiging engagement ring kase biglaan wedding namin pero a week before our wedding date.. my hubby "proposed" to me.. simple lang nasa bahay lang din kame.. nag uusap lang kami about details ng wedding then all of a sudden he went down on one knee and said the magic words..hehe "will you marry me? natawa ko kase nga nakaplano na naman yung wedding.. but he said he feels it's important for the man to formally ask his future wife the question.. it's more of a symbolism for him na he really intends to marry me.. iba pa din kase yun may ganung effort eh.. iba ang feeling talaga na you know your man went through all the effort..ganun ka ka-importante sa kanya..

kreez, ang haba ng hair mo! yan ang sinasabi kong bonggang-bongang proposal! hai, can't wait na maexperience yan... like 100 years from now!   

[hoyhoy]

pa join po ha. I agree that e-ring is less important. Last May, during our trip to Palawan he proposed to me. The e-ring my fiancee gave to me was a simple silver ring with a fake diamond. I never thought of the value of the ring but the thought behind it. I've waited 7 years for his proposal. For me, it's the symbol of his everlasting love for me which I'm very grateful of. 

[Beccanichard]

^same tayo sis, I've waited for seven years for his proposal
