"It&amp;amp;#8217;s complete-the-sentence time, ladies! When Paul was merely my pre-ance, and I was desperate for him to become my full-on fiance, here&amp;amp;#8217;s what I would&amp;amp;#8217;ve done (in five words or less) if I weren&amp;amp;#8217;t engaged by the end of the year: Bought my own damn ring. Paul said the only thing that was keeping him from proposing was having enough money for a ring. At that point, I had saved up more than he had, so I was ready and willing to pony up all the dough for my jewelry. But one person had a problem with me paying for my own engagement ring, and that was Paul. So I waited (and waited) until he had enough funds to buy the ring. Or I might have gone this way with my five words: Started planning a wedding anyway. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve met quite a few women who weren&amp;amp;#8217;t engaged when they started hunting for wedding venues, trying on wedding dresses, and meeting with wedding vendors. I really might have done the same if Paul had waited another few months to propose. At least then we wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t have had a two-year-long engagement! What will you do if you&amp;amp;#8217;re not engaged by the end of the year (in five words or less)? Will you share your five words with your pre-ance (hey, it could come as a warning to him!)? Do you suspect that you will have a shiny engagement ring on your finger before 2012? More Fill-in-the-Blank Fun Short of the Groom Not Showing Up, What Would Ruin your Wedding Day?
