Proposing Back

Amy, on May 19, 2019 at 4:14 PM Posted in Planning 0 12
This is a little unconventional but I have decided to propose back to my fiancé. Last August he popped the question and I said yes!

Originally, I planned to do this back in April during engagement photos, but the photos haven't happened yet due to moving. So instead, I am surprising him with a minivacation to Steamboat, CO next Sunday! We'll be married there on his family's hunting land at a later date.

I'm giving him his ring early rather than wait until the wedding because he should get to feel the same special-ness that I do about mine (plus he has been mentioning it would be nice to wear one too, so I know it's what he would want).

Has anyone ever done anything similar?? I want to make this perfect for him like he did for me. I tea dyed this cute little box and wrote on the glass.

    I want the same a proposal back as I did the original proposal and I just heard today friends are not allowing it. This kind of makes me upset. We are not a traditional type so I think the reason they give for not allowing it is bull and they need to stay out of it.

    I hear that! He didn't show anyone my ring or give details to anyone until after because everyone has their opinion. Plus everyone talks and he wanted a full surprise.
    I haven't told anyone we know that I'm doing this because similar reasons and family all think a man shouldn't wear a ring until the wedding day.

    Good luck though. Your fiance will do what they feel is right. Even if it means waiting, maybe they feel that's the perfect moment instead.

    I love this idea! Everyone should get in on the fun of being engaged (if they want to), no matter their gender or who asked first. Best of luck!

    I did this with my FH, too and he loved it! I think what you've prepared is meaningful and sweet. He's gonna love it! Have a great time and let us know how it goes!

    So sweet! I had somewhat considered doing that but I gave my fiancé a promise ring shortly after he gave me one a year ago (before we were engaged) so I didn't want to give him his wedding band just yet, especially because he's not sure what he wants!

    Plus, the promise ring is engraved with my handwriting and the date we started dating Smiley smile

    They sounds adorable and I would have done the same thing but we never wore promise rings. The handwritten part is so nice sounding.
