congrats dude...dont be scared, its a piece of cake
haha, I'm about to do it too. I'm on a little faster timeline though. I've only been with my girl 9 months. She's the one though.
Is the center of that ring actually 4 stones? That's a really cool design
I'll be having this ring made by a local place (rings etc.) next week. I'm going skiing for spring break and asking the question there.

Hah, It took my 2 years to ask, then it took up 3 more to actually do it.
I used Christmas as my spring board.
I wrapped 5 boxes each smaller than the last, from a 24x24 box down to one the size of a watch box. One inside the other.
By the time she got to the last box she was a little annoyed. And when she found a blank piece of paper in the last box, she was both confused and mad. Of course she asked, "What's this?"
To which I got to reply, "It's a question." As I reached in my pocket she connected the dots and began to cry and and hugged and kissed me and said yes. I didn't even get to drop to the knee before I got my answer.
We are now 6 years in and 6 months married.

Awwww y'all are sooo cute!! Girls love this stuff!!
haha, the baby will be a while off for us. we've already talked about it and she's wanting to wait at least a few years so we can do all the young new couple stuff for a little while. I'll be new into the Air Force and we'll both be new to a different part of the country, so there will be things to do and places to see. I'm sure she'll get the itch, but I'm sure it'll take her a little while.
Enough about me, this is your thread!
that's a kick *** ring. It's definitely unique. congrats, I'm sure you'll get a yes.

Life isn't complete without kids. Have em soon and have many. A big family is a happy family. You will have plenty of time for the just the two of you stuff when they are grown and you can more afford to do those things. Kids can be a huge PITA some times, but the joy they bring into your home far out wieghs the headaches. Congrats to both of you. Hope it lasts forever.
I get to celebrate 25 happy years on April 4th. this year and wouldn't change a thing, even raising 2 of my grandkids is turning out to be a blessing. As of this last Tuesday i have 6 Grandkids now and i will only be 43 this year. Still plenty of time to enjoy life and i can afford to spoil the &%$# out of em lol. Wait too long and you'll find yourself sitting in a rocking chair wishing you could get up and play with them but it will be too late. I hope ya have 10 kids and 50 grandkids while you're young enough to enjoy them all.

IMO a family without kids is just two people co-existing. Not nocking it, but you just don't know what you are missing until you are standing there and the doctor hands you a baby that you made. Then it is even more exciting when you get those grandkids handed to you. Having those kids to carry on for you when you are long gone gives you a sence of pride that you could never imagine in your wildest dreams. The pride you feel watching them go through life , learning to ride a bike, graduating in the top of thier class, and then starting a life of thier own is worth every minute of aggrivation without a doubt. Like i said i'm not nocking anyone's life choices, but the happiest people i have kmown in my life come from large families with lots of kids. Kids make the world go round in my book.
Awesome rings, guys!
My hubs and I were married for 6 years before we had kids. My boys are the light of my life and I can't imagine who I'd be without them. BUT, we sometimes miss the old "couple time." We had two incomes and no obligations! Not that I'd trade my guys in for anything. It's all about balance.
I'd have two or three more babies if my husband didn't think he was so old. (47's not old, is it? I'm only 31, just a baby really!)
My sister and her husband are in the No-Kids-By-Choice boat, and happy as can be, too. They have 6 cats, 4 ferrets, and a tarantula instead. I think her vet bills are at least as much as my kids' tuition and therapy costs! :lol:
Do what works for you, and congrats!
