A Wise Word for Lovers

For anyone thinking about getting engaged, now or down the road, here's your official warning:

The first question you will be asked by EVERYONE you tell you're engaged is some variation of, "When's the big day?"

This isn't a bad question, just something we weren't expecting to hear so often and so quickly.

In most cases, like ours, you'll have no idea when you're getting married - you're still giddy over the fact that you're even engaged! I thought the big question would be "How did he do it?" Nope.

So come up with a good response to keep in your pocket and pull back out repeatedly for the weeks following the engagement when you tell people. Some will apologize for the question, some will squeal before asking it (or high-five you or hug you or shake the boy's hand or say "holy shit!" or "holy cow!" or "oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!"), but they WILL ask by the end of the conversation.

You've all been warned.

And feel free to keep asking the aforementioned question!
