Now I have it. On their 27th anniversary she finally got her nice engagement ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/engagement-watch#post-215103 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 09:25:33 +0000 heffalump 215103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: lol, we were camping so I was wearing no makeup and sweatpants! I'm ok with that though, camping is my favorite place to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/engagement-watch#post-215093 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 09:09:05 +0000 autumnlove 215093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: My parents knew DH was going to propose during a vacation. I didn't pick up on it but my Mom was totally dropping hints to get a manicure, wear makeup, and pack clothes for going out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/engagement-watch#post-215083 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 09:04:22 +0000 Alivoo01 215083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I thought the same thing on proposing with a watch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/engagement-watch#post-214964 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 07:17:57 +0000 heffalump 214964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, we always tell parents first. Nobody in my family got to know when my DH was going to propose because my mom is just a blabber mouth. But his family knew.... they had to because his mom was wearing the ring he gave me, it's a family ring. His mom even wrote me a card welcoming me to the family that he gave me after he proposed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/engagement-watch#post-214686 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 14:56:00 +0000 pastemoo 214686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahhaha. I thought he was going to propose with a wristwatch or something... My parents tend to know about my brother before I do--but he'll usually call if there's big news, and he usually returns my calls. If it's a big deal, he ALWAYS picks up or returns my call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/engagement-watch#post-214680 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 14:14:23 +0000 autumnlove 214680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother is currently in Seattle with his girlfriend for vacation. They are going to Canada tomorrow...I'm so jealous!</p> <p>My parents are driving me crazy and they are texting me with "is he engaged yet" or "have you heard any news" every few hours! Lol. I have no clue if he plans on marrying his gf but my parents are convinced I have insider information! :-)</p> <p>Do you normally share things with your siblings before you tell your parents? </p>
