I didn't know you had to have a ring for that! Damn I should have asked for the ring.

You just answered yourself.
You are not engagaed.
You'll get married without the engagement.
See it's cheaper for him to skip the engagement.
And besides it's a commitment issue that he has, tiz why he doesn't propose.
You really shouldn't worry about it.
Because you'll end up fighting over something stupid as a mid-way of nothing other than status.
Skipping this process is so now.
Relax and enjoy the freedom of being an unowned individual.
Cuz once you slap on that last name.....
You'll be Mrs. And what's fun in being called that?
Then you'll have to go thru the process of changing your last name,
on your passport (if you have one)
on your driver's liscence/ID (if you have one)
on your bank account.....

How come a guy can't change his last name to suit a girl's need...
