Here are the FIRST 5 THINGS you should do when you get engaged!

  • 1. First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! The very first thing that you should do is share the big news and do some SERIOUS celebrating! Pop the champagne and feel ALL of the joyous feelings, this is such an exciting time!!! Soak it up and enjoy it the love of your life and your closest family and friends!! We live in a world where about 30ish +/- seconds after you post a photo of your engagement ring, the questions about your big day will start to flow in, ‘where and when?!’ Keep in mind that everyone is just so excited to celebrate with you, but we know how overwhelming these questions can be!
