Once again, engagement season is upon us. Congratulations to all of the beautiful brides-to-be that received sparkling Christmas gifts this year!
Now, let me play this out for you...
The first thing your friends and family members say with be something along the lines of
'Congratulations!' 'Your ring is gorgeous!' 'We're so happy for you!'
Then you'll get share you're engagement story (My favorite part, personally)...
'How did he ask?' 'Was he down on one knee?' 'How romantic!'
Then they get right to the point and hit you with one of these:
'When's the wedding?' 'Have you set the date?'
If you don't have an answer to the last response - don't fret! It's OK if you don't know. In fact, its completely normal. Odds are you're still in shock... You still get distracted every time your finger sparkles....
Allow me to offer you a bit of advice.
Don't feel rushed to set a date and become Mrs. Happily-ever-after. The two of you will literally have the rest of your lives for that. Enjoy your moment. Enjoy the feel of that ring on your finger. Get used to using the term fiance. Being engaged is just as much a milestone as being married.
So, take it all in and enjoy it.
Some good advice given to me was to write down, in your own words, how he popped the question and your favorite reactions to your engagement so you can look back on those memories one day. Kind of like an engagement/wedding planning journal.
Speaking of your engagement story and your favorite reactions, we'd love to hear about them! Comment below and tell us how he popped the question!
