He did. But I was pretty sure it was coming. I even mentioned it in passing on a girls night out with friends a few weeks before it happened. They told me later that when I went to the restroom right after that conversation they all had a quiet freak out. They knew about it because he'd reached out to them to "get their approval", LOL. These two particular friends are like my sisters so even though it was totally unnecessary, I think it was sweet that he did that.
We talked about getting married so many times. Neither of us proposed with a ring. I know he is not in the position to buy me the ring he wants me to have just yet. We are planning our destination wedding for December 2020. I think he will formally propose before our wedding, but I’m totally okay if he doesn’t. I told him that I’m fine getting married with just wedding bands and if he wants he can get me a ring for our anniversary or something.
