writes:My now fiance just proposed, he is in basic training so he did it over the phone, he told me to pick out three rings and he wants to choose one and ask again when he get back. Is it wrong to say we are engaged? He said that that was him proposing but he didnt say anything about me not telling people..?? Should I keep it a secret or should I tell people?I'm so happy.. I mean.. God I have never been so happy :))) I want to tell everyone, but should I???

I would try and wait till he does the proper prosal, even though this is special when you have that ring and when he gets down on one knee, it will be even more special. I would be excited and start to look at rings that you like, and go from there when he gets home. But be positive and know that he is your protential fiance/husband! I wouldn't try to tell everybody because your going to get negative/positive sides of the story. Stay happy, go ring shopping and the best of luck!

I would wait for him to finish Basics pick out the ring and properly propose, that way you guys can tell family and friends together, before you all have to ship off to his first duty station.
^Congratulations^

 It's a matter of opinion. Some people will say you are enganged, others will say you're not.
I can understand your excitement but I'd say wait till he has proposed with a ring. That way you can show it off when you tell people :P
If you really want to tell people, tell close family and friends that he has asked you and will propose properly when he is back but wait until he has proposed properly before making it official to everyone else.

 You *are* engaged, but I'd hold off on telling everyone until he gets back. My married friends claim it's more fun to do when you're together.
Be nice to the guy when picking the ring. Better to get a smaller, cheaper ring and spend more on your first home, or on a nice honeymoon, than on some rock.
