What did you do first after getting engaged?

Joey, on October 14, 2017 at 14:05 Posted in Before the wedding 0 15

Whether you were the proposer, or proposed to, the moment you got engaged was certainly full of emotions and excitement. What was the very first thing you did right after you got engaged? Did you call someone? Pop the champagne for a toast? Get your nails done? Buy a wedding magazine? Take a bunch of pics to share on social media? Tell us the story!

First comes the "Yes!" but what comes next?What did you do first after getting engaged? 1

    He proposed to me the day before my birthday. We were having people over for my birthday the next day, so we didn't tell anyone until then. It was really, really hard because a few of my friends texted me early in the morning to wish me happy birthday and I didn't say anything because I wanted my family to know first and I wanted to tell them in person.

    We called as many people as we could! I'm from Ontario and wanted to call my friends from there, but it was after 11 their time so I had to wait until the next day! Then, I spent the rest of the night staring at the ring!

    We were on vacation with his brother and sister-in-law when he proposed. They were there when he did it because he wanted us to have pictures of the moment. The first thing we did was hug them, then we went and had drinks to celebrate! We waited until we got home to tell family because we wanted to do it in person instead of over the phone.

    We called our families and then a couple of close friends. We were home and spent the evening together and celebrated with family later. That day was just for us.

    We were on a trip to Quebec City, we were having a picnic by the water and right before leaving my now fiance asked this guy to take our picture, during the second picture he turned and proposed to me! After all that we took pictures and only posted one photo announcing our engagement on social media and I had texted ny mom and dad. After that we both turned off our phones and went back to enjoying the rest of our trip! 💕💖

    I cried a lot and kept looking at my ring and then called my mum. We were alone at home Christmas morning when he proposed so it was nice and quiet for a bit. We told the rest of our families when we saw them for Christmas.

    This was pretty much us too! I love these romantic proposal stories and engagement announcements, but ours was a lot more low-key. Still good though! 😊

    We didnt do anything special haha. Just had a conversation and decided it was time to get married and so we ordered our rings and that was it lol. Watched some tv and went to bed and went to work the next day. Told our parents when we saw them that week and then told our friends a month later at a christmas party.

    It was a very private weekend at Niagara Falls the week before Christmas. He proposed and I was shocked. We kept it to ourselves until we saw my family at Christmas, and then his family on New Year's day.

    We went to a secluded lodge (no wifi, no reception) for High Tea. To have that moment where nobody knows yet and it's just the two of you. We were in our bubble for that time, until we got back to our place and started making the calls.
