^^sis nabasa niya yung thread na to, he's snooping on me. sabi niya tantanan ko na daw yung kaka GT hindi daw healthy LOL. pero feel ko by him snooping naintindihan niya yung saloobin ko, sabi niya sa kin dadating din tayo dyan.

and sa mga advices niyo mga sisses, i wont pressure myself nor him. he gave me an assurance na super love niya ko. napakalambing ni mokong this past weekend haha!

^naku sis! sobrang nakakarelate ako sayo. hehe. ganyan din ako kay ex-bf(hubby ko na ngayon). noon pa man madalas na namin pagusapan ang kasal pero pareho kami na gusto munang maging financially stable. noong unang nagpropose si hubby, masasabi kong perfect timing kasi out-of-town kami at that time (Palawan) but not the perfect moment. simpleng proposal lang ginawa niya pero napaluha pa rin ako sa tuwa kasi decided na talaga siya na pakasalan ako. after a couple of months before my birthday, binigyan niya ako ng another e-ring but this time totoong diamond na. di ko na naman ma-express iyong sobrang kaligayahan ko.  ;D

sa totoo lang recently ko lang na-realize na di naman pala importante iyong perfect moment or perfect timing sa proposal eh. naalala ko tuloy ang isang episode ng Chuck na kung saan sinabi ng kaibigan niya na there's no such thing as a perfect moment when proposing. ang importante ay ang babaeng aalayan niya ng kasal which makes sense di ba. i must admit na isa rin ako sa mga babaeng nangarap ng fairy tale-like proposal.  ;D

Hello mga Sisses! Happy wedding preps sa inyo..

Just want to share my experience..

Eversince kasi, Im a hopeless romantic type of person. Exact opposite ko naman si h2b. Siya naman, walang alam na kaartehan sa katawan. Between us both, ako [textspeak!] mahilig sa surprises. So since we start, alam ko impossible nang gawan niya ko ng ganoong klaseng surprise. Dream ko din kasi na my prince charming will ask to marry me formally and hold my hand and put a ring on my finger. But since my h2b, was not that type simula pa lang ni set ko na sarili ko never to expect.
Plus, si h2b [textspeak!] tipong "man without a plan". Since the start of our relationship, inopen na namin sa isat isa, na siya [textspeak!] tipo ng tao na ayaw ng expectations, Go with the flow lang. Kaya nung nagtagal kami, kapag tinatanong ko sia kung ako ba [textspeak!] babae sa tingin nia papakasalan nia lagi na lang nia chinachange [textspeak!] topic.  Until I came to realize one day na Im not getting any younger. I dont want to waste my life on a relationship na alam kong hindi din naman kami ang mag eend-up together. Kaya inopen ko sa knya, and suggested na maybe it would be better if we parted ways na lang and wag nang patuloy na sayangin ang oras at pagmamahal ng isat isa. Though, dont get me wrong... h2b is the best bf one could ever had, so its really hard for me to came up with that decision. But, I wanted to be realistic and I wanted a future while he on the other hand I thought, he has no plans. But, he refused to accept my suggestion. Ayaw nia makipaghiwalay sakin. So, I gave him a chance to think things through.

Then came our 3rd anniversary, July 1, 2011.. All the while I thought, it would be just an ordinary anniversary celebration... We were suppose to go out-of-town , in cebu, but because finances got tighter, we did not push through with that. Instead we plan on watching movie and eating out. He was really weird that day. He was more malambing than ever, and he was all dressed up for the occasion. Nagtaka na ko, pero I did not mind. Naisip ko baka trip lang nia na magganon suot since Anniversary namin. And what's more weird is that he wanted us to have dinner in a fine dinning resto w/c is very unusual of him, kasi si hsb [textspeak!] kuripot type of person. But unfortunately, lahat ng resto's sa greenbelt fully booked na. So, last resort namin sa pancake house sa GB1. Before kami pumasok, wala pa halos tao. Nagpaalam lang akong magrerestroom, pag labas ko puno na [textspeak!] buong restaurant. (Kaya wala talaga akong ka-hint hint na me plano siya that night). Then we're done eating our food at naghihintay na lang kami ng bill, nagreminisce kami ni h2b ng past namin how we started , and how everything went. Then, He stood up. I thought he was just about to transfer to my side, (tapatan kasi kmi ng seats) when to my surprised instead he knelt down, pulled the box with the ring out of his pocket and popped the question "Will you marry me?" Sa sobrang di ako makapaniwala, Akala ko nung una nagjojoke lang sia. But when Everybody was staring at us with whole happiness, and ng nakita ko sa mukha nia na serious siya, that's when I answered with teary eyes "Oo naman.." Since then, I was floating in Happiness. I feel like I was the happiest person alive.

So para sakin, Important talaga [textspeak!] E-ring and proposal. It doesn't have to be bongga, simple but truthful will do. And mind you guys, when I learned how much the e-ring was... Hindi siya mahal. Wala pa ngang 1k  [textspeak!] e-ring na binigay sakin ni h2b. It was not made of diamond but it was made of zircon. Kaya pag tinignan mo kala mo diamond. Pero para sakin, mas mahal pa sa diamond ang value ng e-ring ko. Especially kapag naalala ko kung gaanong happiness ang dinala nia sa kin..

it is important for me but i think it is more important to fiance. they say if the wedding is the bride's day, then the engagement is the groom's day. he was awfully proud to share to the world his proposal :)

Wala pa kaming 1 year ng fiance ko nun when we started talking about getting married. Pero honestly, I didn't take our "wedding talks" seriously. Iniisip ko kasi, baka lang nadala lang siya kasi I am his first girlfriend kahit na late 20's na siya. Masarap lang pag-usapan ang kasal pero in my mind, di ko masyado sineseryoso. Syempre ang dami rin naming naririnig na comments like masyadong mabilis, enjoyin na lang namin muna ang relationship, etc. kaya lalo ko siyang hindi sineseryoso.

Then nung nag-1 year na kami, nalaman ko na nag-usap sila ng papa niya at sinabi nya na may plano na kaming magpakasal. Nagulat ako nun  kasi ibig sabihin nun, sineseryoso niya talaga ang aming mga usapang kasal noon. Nabawasan rin ng konti ang mga doubts ko, pero may isang part pa rin sa akin that wanted solid proof, an engagement ring. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, di naman niya ako niligawan bago maging kami so this time, gusto ko naman makaramdam ng isang wedding proposal. Haha! :)

Then one day, while driving home, he just asked me to marry him. Walang mabonggang gimik at isang simpleng ring na binili niya sa Silverworks ang binigay niya. Pero that moment, alam ko na finally, ito na. Seryoso na talaga siya. :) Di naman kailangan ng mahal at mabonggang proposal at ring. It's just the thought that really matters. :)

I got the sweetest proposal but I didn't have an engagement ring because I really hate jewelry. What I did get was one tick out of my bucket list, an all expense paid trip to an African Safari :) I suppose he did present me with an heirloom engagement ring from his Grandmother but I intend to keep it for our future kids, whoever gets married first :)

hindi talaga ako binilhan ni h2b ng engagement ring, ewan ko ba dun. dahilan nya idagdag na lang daw sa wedding. e di ginawa ko bumili ako sa isang jewelry shop na singsing na parang engagement ring(nito ko lang narealize na muka nga syang engagement ring kasi may black diamond na kasama). so sa tuwing napagkakamalang engagement ring sya, gusto ko sanang sabihin na OO kaso ayaw ko din naman magsabi ng hindi totoo. e di sinasabi ko na lang na ako bumili nun para sakin lols.

bumili din ako ng bond ring (?) para samin ni h2b. natutuwa ako kay h2b kasi hindi nya talaga hinuhubad yung singsing kahit sa pagligo. so talagang vinavalue nya yung singsing na bigay ko. nagagalit pa sya kapag di ko suot yung akin. ako kasi pagdating ng bahay hubad na hehe.

^ sakin very important ang proposal at engagement ring. It's his way of telling the world that "you're mine" and sealing it with an e-ring. My fiancee is not that cheesy either, typical guy na allergic sa ka-cornihan ng mga babae hehe! Pero nung nag propose sya sakin, he reserved a dinner at casa roces inside malacanan as in yung isang panel dun private for us lang. Anniversary namin yun and hindi naman ako nag isip na may proposal na magaganap kase ganun naman sya kapag may occasion, extra effort kumbaga. Nung dessert time na nagulat na lang ako nung pumasok yung 2 waiter, may nag vi-video and yung isa dala yug dessert na toppings eh yung e-ring ko. Napasigaw pa ko sa gulat ko nun and literal talagang iyak tawa ginawa ko hahaha!  ;D nung tinanong na nya ko will you marry me? Nasagot ko lang, syempre! Haha! That was the happiest day of my life and yung e-ring ko matagal nya ring pinag-ipunan, 2 months ng nasa kanya pero iniisip nya kelan ang right timing kaya di nya maibigay. I love my e-ring it's beautiful. But more than that, I love the fact that he propose to me, making me feel special in every way :) ang haba talaga ng hair ko nun hehe!  ;D

Sa akin, importante ang engagement ring and alam yun ng hubby ko. Hindi sa materialistic ako, but it's one way of showing how serious he really is with settling down. Parang symbolic siya for me na ready na siya maging provider at mag-kapamilya at hindi basta drawing sa hangin lang. :P

Proposal nya was simple but there was still an element of surprise. A few weeks after he surprised me with the engagement ring, nag-simula na kami sa wedding preps and nag-book na ng church. :)

Makikisali lang po..

Sa akin sobrang importante din yan.. Kaso lang hindi na natupad.. Ewan ko lang.. Kasi kinasal na kami sa CIVIL.. Pero nag plan kami mag church.. Kahit na parang late na waiting pa din ako na i ask nya ako na pakasalan sya sa Church.. Kasi sa ating mga babae naman kahit plastik pa yan na singsing pero kung sincere talaga diba nakaka touch at nakaka luha.. Parang ngayon naluluha ako kasi waiting pa din ako.. hehe!!

hi sis,

it is important to me. the proposal and the ring for me serves as a formal offer from my bf that he wants to marry me. i'm speaking for myself though.

before the proposal we were already talking about wedding plans but there is a feeling that these are all merely for discussion purposes only. when there was a proposal i felt that this is a different level. it's like this is it. when people saw my ring and i without even talking conveys that we are getting married!

iba ang feeling ng engaged. :-)

Hi girls! My first post but matagal na akong lurker (kasi matagal bago ipinadala ang activation email :()
Anyway, the proposal and the engagement ring are very important to me too. We already started to plan for our wedding next year (may date na, will be starting to inquire from church, reception venue, I have quotation na from PC, the entourage is almost 50% na) but unfortunately my boyfriend hasn't proposed yet. I'm sure he has plans ;D pero unless I get that ring on my finger, all these wedding plans seem informal and unofficial pa din. I can't even tell my parents pa that we are already planning for our wedding because he hasn't asked me yet (though wala namang konsepto ang nanay at tatay ko ng proposal  :)) My MOH has hinted that we start going na daw sa mga wedding fairs but I told her I still don't feel it kasi nga di pa ako engaged! :(

hi mga sis.. pajoin din ha..  :D

kami ni h2b e 8yrs na and we've been planning for the wedding for 2years. wala din ako ering. he did propose nung 5th year namin pero he gave me a band instead. binigyan ko din sya for his bday so parang meron kaming band pareho.. pero syempre i still wish na bigyan nya din ako ng ering. to the point na ako na nga ang nanghihingi. hehe! sabi nya naman e bibigyan nya ako.. pero since living in na kame e ang daming sumusulpot na gastusin. saka yung nanay ko parang sya yung ikakasal kung makapag invite kaya kelangan talaga namin makapagtabi, just in case lumobo yung expenses.

oks lang naman sakin kahit hindi diamond kasi hindi ako mahilig dun.. gusto ko nga e kakaiba. sa april na ang kasal namin and sana bago dumating yun e meron na din ako. hehe! nakakainis lang kasi pag yung alam nila na engaged ka tapos tatanungin ka "e nasan yung ring" haay..

pero kung wala e okay lang din naman. naiintindihan ko din naman kung bakit. kaya lang minsan i can't help but feel bad. siguro just as long as he's faithful and true and alam ko na he'll do everything in his power to make me happy e okay na sakin yun.  :D

sa tingin nyo ba mga sis e unfair na sumama yung loob ko sa kanya just because hindi nya pa kaya bilhin yung ering ko? minsan kase feeling ko napakamaterialistic na ng dating ko.  :(

Hi sis! For me, its but natural to feel sama ng loob and I don't think you're being materialistic by feeling that. Ang sa akin kasi, di naman kailangang mamahalin ang ring, basta meron. If a girl demands na dapat pricey ang e-ring niya, knowing that the guy can't afford it, that's the time na materialistic na ang dating ng girl. Subtle and gentle reminders ka na lang sa boyfriend mo and assure him that even if mura lang nya nabili ang e-ring, it will be your most treasured jewelry. :)

For me, I would like to get an engagement ring, kasi ayoko naman na hinde ko maexperience yun, kumbaga yung sa normal lang na processo, yung engaged muna with a ring then get married on church.   :)

What I do before we got engaged, pag magcclaim kami ng remittance from his brother sa Cebuana Lhuillier, nagtitingin ako kunwari ng magandang ring para magka-idea sya kung anung style ang gusto ko para alam ko na magugustuhan ko yung ring na bibigay nya.  ;D
Nung nagproposed sya ang saya, plus gusto ko rin yung napili nyang ring. Atleast wala akong regrets nasabi ko yung type ko na ring para hinde ako madidisappoint. Please don't get me wrong, hinde naman pagiging materialistic kung magpapahapyaw ka ng gusto mo ng ring, it depends na lang sa partner on how he would react to it. Tama yung sabi ng isang sis dito na as long as afford nya, khit mura basta meron  :)

^ hi sis, for me, in almost any situation, it is better to be honest with your boyfriend now hubby to be, lalo na ngayon na engaged na kayo.

ako ang ginawa ko, i insisted na may engagement ring more than .5 carat, may proposal na alam ng family ko, may magcacapture ng proposal for remembrance...  pero iba nangyari sa proposal ni h2b and i liked and appreciated it more. kasi the mere fact na nagpropose sila sa atin that means the world to us girls. as h2b said, hindi madaling magbigay ng Engagement ring at magpropose sa babae dahil once na gawin yun, it means super sure na si boyfriend na tayo ang gusto niyang makasama for life.

thanks!!

meron 2 things akong suggestion for you sis, 1, is tell to other friend of yours your feeling, then let them talk to your bf or future hubby, syempre in your situation mahirap yan kasi feelings ang pinaguusapan. or 2, wait wait for next step, baka naman meron pang part 2 yun gagawin nya. :-)

dkaya nahihiya sya na magsabi ng proposal sayo,kaya ganun na lang ginawa nya. meorn kasing mga lalaki na mahiyain at d sanay makita ng ibang tao na nagproposed hehe
