Engagement Announcements

And that's exactly why I didn't ask her parents for permission (in addition to the whole weirdness of asking for "permission" in 2019).

So the question is, which set of parents found out first? lol

My fiancé proposed with our two best friends present taking pictures, so I guess they knew first! But after it had happened, we drove straight to my parents house to talk to them. He had actually spoken to my parents before doing it, but only the day before! I guess he couldn't keep the secret from me for very long.

Later that night we went for dinner with our friends that were present, and they couldn't contain themselves and excitedly told our server so she was also one of the first!

I called my Mom first so her, my Step-dad and Aunt as they were all together at my moms. He called his mom, then his dad and Step-mom. After that he was on the phone with his brother and I called my sister and my brother. Our closest friends came after that then the good ole Facebook about 2 weeks later. I am sure there were a lot of texts and calls in between but we got the most important people out of the way the day of the proposal.

My fiance asked my dad's permission prior to popping the question, so I guess you could say him!

After it actually happened, it would be my fiance's brother and sister-in-law as they were travelling with us when it happened! Luckily so, because they are probably our two greatest friends on earth! There is no other two people I would rather have had share the moment with us

Since we got engaged at home by ourselves Christmas morning, my fiance and I first called both of our parents and immediate family first. Then our very close friends and then we had posted it on social media.

I guess for us it's the two lovely ladies who are strangers that walked by us on the bridge that I asked to take the photo of the engagement. We didn't technically tell them "we got engaged" but they were right there when it happened and we talked because I asked them to take a photo.

I called my mom and told her after the proposal, as she knew it was coming. I didn't ask her parents for permission before hand so we were excited to go back to her place and tell them. Her sister found out first, then her brother. Then they told us how if we don't say anything, her parents will never notice despite the ring on her finger. So we spent the next THREE HOURS (!) not saying a thing, eating dinner, waving her hand around their faces until her dad finally noticed and said "nice ring" before it clicked in his head and go "ohhhhh." The funny business kept going on for another 15 minutes before the father said something to her mom.
