Dear Future Husband: There's A Few Things You Need To Know
engagementringbible.com

If you're anything like me, you're obsessed with the idea of engagements. Even if you aren't ready for it yet, you seem to have every detail planned. Some of us don't even have significant others at the moment and we still know exactly how we want the day to go. This is dedicated to the future husbands: your must-know guide before popping the question!

Before anything, get our parents blessing.

It's important to us. We've always dreamed of a guy asking for our dad's permission before proposing. It might be nerve-wracking, but both us and our parents will appreciate it.

Save your money.

This is a big one! Don't do this on an impulse, save your money and make it special. If we are willing to spend the rest of our lives with you, we will be willing to wait for you; there is no need to rush.

Speaking of money: make a budget.

No need to over spend and buy a Kim-K sized ring. Set a budget that works for you before you pick something out.

Make sure our nails are done.

We need a good Instagram pic with our new fave piece of jewelry!

Talk to friends and family, they'll be a big help!

Stuck on how to make it memorable for the two of you? Ask the people closest to the both of you. They'll definitely have ideas, especially if you've known each other for a while!

Get down on one knee.

A pretty obvious one, but don't forget it!

Do your research when looking for the perfect ring.

Look for the 4 C's: Carat, Color, Cut and Clarity. A proper jeweler will be able to help you find exactly what you need if you have all this information before hand.

Make sure there's a camera near by.

Trust me, you'll want to capture this moment.

Right before you say the big four words, use our full name.


Prepare for the post-engagement spam of messages.

Especially on Facebook! Everybody loves a good engagement.

Most of all, make sure you're ready.

This is super important! Make sure that you and your partner are ready for the next step. It's a commitment. Of course the idea of engagement and marriage is exciting, but make sure that this person is the one for you and that you are both prepared for this next chapter of your lives!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
