i saw my ring transaction

You're fine! A lot of us know or find out.
I literally planned my engagement with my fiance and didn't even do a proposal so at least you got the surprise

I knew my FH was going to propose too, I just didn’t know exactly when during our anniversary trip he planned to do it. We had been talking about getting married for a couple years already and I knew he wanted to wait until I finished my degree, which I did last December! I know how you feel about it not being a surprise, but I still treasure that moment. Focus on the excitement and planning the day you get to actually marry him! Congratulations to you both and happy planning!

My fiancé wanted to propose to me after we moved across the country. I didn’t know this, I just knew he hadn’t done it yet and I wasn’t moving my whole life for a boyfriend so he did it before. Not everyone gets the big surprise, but the point is you’re getting married! Besides if he really wanted to hide it, he should have used a separate account lol.

I knew mine was the night it was. I helped pick out my ring. Then he took me on a super nice date.

It's completely fine 😊 My bf- now fiance, said something a few months earlier about saving money for something but wouldn't tell me what, so I kinda had a feeling the proposal was coming by New year's Eve! Luckily he did it in December, right after he got it on Black Friday!

It’s a very long story but I found out exactly when and how he was going to propose to me. I was really saddened by not having the surprise, but was so happy that it didn’t really matter in the end.

View Quoted Comment You are right! Thank you, I am SO excited.. and yet so excited for the planning to be over 😂😂

Honestly, I saw the envelope from zales on his dresser one day and thought that was odd. But it was also a few months before our anniversary so I thought maybe he got something. Or that it could’ve been junk mail, or he got something as a gift for his mom or whatever. I didn’t say anything and by the time I got home I already forgot about it. About 3 months later he proposed and I was soooo surprised! And he’s like “I was nervous, one time you came over and after you left I noticed I left the zales envelope out” 😂 only then I remembered that I saw it. Guess I’m kinda oblivious 🤷🏻‍♀️

I figured it out. My husband tried so hard to keep it a secret, and he thought he succeeded. If he had realized I figured it out he wouldn’t have done it as he wanted it to be a surprise.
Im glad I did because it gave me time to process it. If it had been a surprise I might have freaked out a little, or said I don’t know (until I had time to process it of coarse)

I bought the ring with him and he waited for his own time to pop the question and I kinda had a clue when but it still surprised me and got me in tears. Basically when it happens you'll still feel happy anyway even if it was not a total surprise

I was literally there when he bought the ring and he had me “keep it safe” when he went to college. I noticed that it was gone and then he proposed that week 😂

I accidentally found my ring a couple months early (I typically do the laundry, she had in her sock drawer...) and I planned the vacation that she eventually proposed on. She actually didn’t even have much of a plan other than popping the question, luckily I had dinner plans in mind just in case.

I don’t think it makes the engagement any less special to find out early or plan it together

You're okay!!! We had been talking about it for ages, so I knew it was bound to happen. He actually got the ring in Oct or Nov. I wound up having to have back surgery, so he waited to propose. Before my surgery i was having a goodish day, so was putting up a few Christmas decorations and needed an extension cord. As I'm going through the drawer I come across a jewelry bag with a small box in it!! Ahhhh!! I shut the drawer, and went about my business, internally freaking because now I knew he had the ring! He didnt propose until April when we went for a hike at our favorite place! I never saw the ring until the day he proposed but it was always at the back of my mind when he was going to do it!! I dont think it ruined anything at all! Although I think it was harder on my parents, his parents and my best friend who he had shown the ring to and they had to keep it a secret what it looked like!!! 😂😂

I totally understand feeling weird about it! My FH and I planned our wedding before we got engaged. We even booked two vendors before! A lot of closer friends/family told me we were ruining the engagement because I knew he had already bought the ring and we already decided on a date and everything. But I still had no idea when or how he was going to propose!

A similar situation happened to me. FH and I are very open with each other therefore we allow each other to look in our bank accounts. So one day FH asked me to look on his online banking (he forgot that any debit card transaction would show up on his account lol) and I saw the transaction from the jewelry store. So I knew he purchased the ring but didn't know when/how he was going to propose. The proposal was still a 100% surprise. After the fact he realized that I saw the transaction lol

I think you're fine! Same as Kelly, I picked out my ring, my FH and I went to the store to pick it up, and he gave me the ring. No surprise. He was planning on a surprise proposal on our trip to Hawaii, but the topic came up, we started talking and agreed it would be way less stressful if we went through the process together before the vacation.

Sunday, The week of my birthday “this is it” by Scotty mcreery came on and my now FH said something along the lines of “sometime this year...” and I said I don’t care when or how just as long as my nails are done! So the next morning little did I know a plan was already in the works for my best friend to text me and tell me she was taking me out that Friday for nails and dinner since Chris was stealing me on saturday for my norjray! I had it pretty much figured out based on what i just said the day before about nails but it was still a surprise none the less! Exciting times ahead!
