Am I excited? Or nervous? Honestly, it takes awhile for things to sink in. I had a very bad start this morning and during the rest of the day..things went down hill.
I dread the "bridal shower," that will be coming up, a few days prior to my wedding. It's not because I am shy, but there will be questions. Things like, how did he propose? and what kind of ring did he get you? Those are the toughest questions, that I have had a hard time dealing with. I have mentioned, that my fiance' is unemployed and they kind of back away on the issue.
I hear women, who announce that they are engaged and everyone gets all excited and start giggling. Then they start to admire the "ring." I never got to experience that feeling. I am just experience "the planning for a wedding feeling." Basically, I pretty much don't say much about my wedding. I did receive a wedding band for Valentine's Day. I saw the box, but there wasn't anything inside. I found out that it was getting sized and that is was a wedding band. I knew it wasn't what I was hoping for, but it is a nice ring.
Engagement rings are just a way to lure men to spend big bucks to impress the one they love. Well, the whole big wedding and extravaganza, plays pretty much the same role.
I have seen different types and styles of engagement rings. I've seen rings, with the diamond solitaire that are really tiny. Traditionally, this ring is suppose to be a symbol of a man's love for a woman and it means that they are committed and the next step is marriage. The wedding bands, are a symbol of two people, who love each other and is exchanged in a ceremony, in front of their family and friends.
I guess if it was meant to be, I would have gotten an engagement. But c'est la vie. There are lucky ones and well...I'm just lucky to have someone caring and loving like my future husband.
Life isn't simple and You can't get always what you want....
