After You're Engaged

  I was just perusing the internet looking for a good topic for tonight when I stumbled on a list of all the things you should do immediately after your fiancé proposes. The list was all common sense stuff, but the first item was to tell your friends and family. Immediately. That gave me pause. What if you didnt? What if for a few hours or a few days it was just your secret? It sounds like kind of a suspicious question and one that is null and void if you were proposed to in front of your friends and family, but I think its worth asking.   Perhaps it depends on what kind of person you are and what kind of couple you are, but in a day and age when information spreads so quickly and sweet private moments become public in the blink of an eye, isnt it worth savoring that news for just a little while?   If that big moment is yet to come for you maybe when it happens you will pause for a moment. Maybe you wont immediately pick up your phone and call someone. Why? Because youll want to take it all in. Youll want that moment and that feeling to last and not be interrupted. Think about it; as soon as the cat is out of the bag then your celebration is public. You wont be able to stop people from calling and congratulating you and begging for details. But before the story breaks you are the one in the know and that is a pretty special feeling.   Or maybe youll tell everyone and that will be wonderful, too. Or maybe they knew about it before you did!   {Lindsey}
