... Read moreGetting engaged is such a thrilling moment in life! In the first 24 hours after saying "yes", couples often experience a whirlwind of emotions and activities that set the tone for the wedding planning journey ahead. Besides joyfully announcing the engagement to friends and family, consider capturing this moment with countless photos of the engagement ring. This is the time to decide on sharing the news on social media; it might be prudent to ensure your close loved ones get the first shout-out.

Discussing your wedding vision with your fiancé is key during this exciting period. Begin to think about the style of wedding you both envision, whether it be intimate and cozy or more extravagant. Remember to take the time to savor the moment, cherish your new fiancé, and bask in the love surrounding you. Soon, you will embark on the adventure of wedding planning together; be sure to enjoy the process!

Congratulations! I would probably tell my best friend before telling my mom. But first I'd tell my daughter because my main goal is to get her a nice stepdad.

What you need to know about being engaged
This phase in your relationship can bring up so many different emotions/experiences. Not a lot of people talk about this. It’s mainly conversations about when the wedding is, how big it will be, what you plan to wear, etc. But there is so much more to it than just planning a celebration. #lemon
