Thank you for your comment. It might be now to start a conversation about the engagement and what type of ring you'll be wearing and see if you can encourage things along. Good luck!

My Fiancee propoed without a ring and told me his next pay we will pick out a ring together. Two months later and still now ring, nor has he made an effert to try and get me one since he popped the question. I can't help feeling its not official.

Curious - The engagement is official when you both feel it is. If he hasn't brought up setting a date, wedding plans, or purchasing a ring, perhaps you should start the conversation about how to plan the rest of your lives together. I would recommend you have some basics in mind when you begin sending out engagement announcements or otherwise letting people know about your engagement, since most people will expect to see a ring or to learn some idea of the wedding date, even if it is only general, like "next summer" or another vague time frame. Best wishes!

My significant other proposed 2 weeks ago without a ring and I accepted his proposal. Since that time, there has been no discussion of purchasing a ring, setting a date or anything else. For opinions sake...when would the engagement be official?

Kathryne - Thank you for sharing such a romantic story! The meaning behind the ring is far more important than when (or if) it is presented. Best wishes!

I have just proposed to my partner of 7 and 1/2 years last weekend. We had discussed getting married, children etc but only briefly and neither of us ever grabbed the bull by the horns (so to speak) as we had never been in the financial situation to or felt the other would say yes. We had always planned to get married when we had more money (I'm 23 and my partner is 27). Lately (especially when I was away on holiday) I had thought about how money does not matter and that as I know I love him and want to be with him forever there is nothing stopping us. I had not planned on asking him, especially at a friends birthday party after a few glasses of vino in front of the open fire, however I think this gave me the guts to do it and out of nowhere the proposal spilled out, but it felt so right, all the words made sense to both of us. I told him how he is my ray of light in all the darkness and that he has rescued me and I will love him forever. We held each others gaze and both were so overwhelmed and happy with tears of joy. We're now looking at engagement rings for one another. Just for tradition Glenn will be officially proposing to me, on one knee in a more romantic setting (for the purposes of our family really). But we are both so happy and are thinking of tying the knot in 2011 our 10th yr anniversary of being together. There are so many lovely rings out there for both men and women. We both want the world to know how much we love each other. There's just the issue of who will take whose surname now - I may have to give in there.

was touched by this as my husband proposed without a ring.it was a nice feeling and i totally forgot about a ring as i was caught in the moment. The best part of it all was shopping for a ring.we did it together and it was a great feeling. I grew to love him more!he however choose to give it to me officially on my birthday after a dinner.
