Some of this could very well be out of your control too. And when it comes to finances, if you and your partner need to set aside some funds to pay for the big day, it could be hugely beneficial to have some extra time to add to your savings account. And of course, you might opt for a longer engagement simply so you can really enjoy this time in your lives.

It's so surreal, yet definitely happening, and like it or not, the hours, days, and weeks following that proposal are guaranteed to be a whirlwind. There are so many things to think about, so many people to contact, and so much to get done. Don't be overwhelmed. You have plenty of time to plan the rest of your lives but if you're like most newly engaged people, you'll be itching to share the news with all your friends and dive into the actual wedding planning part headfirst.
Pinterest boards, bridal magazines, blogs, dress shopping, venue hunting Years of watching wedding movies couldn't have prepared you for what's to come trust us, it's totally different.
So where do you get started? There's no strict order to follow as long as you tackle the immediate to-dos. Committing the rest of your life to the love of your life is scary and amazing and the best kind of stress, however, it's a major, major milestone, and planning a wedding together is the icing on the cake—we promise.
And your siblings and BFFs, too unless you are keeping your engagement under wraps for a while. The last place they should have to hear about your new status is on social media, so give them a ring personally and tell them the happy news. Chances are, mom and dad already know what's up and have been waiting by the phone patiently for your call. Your hands will be in the spotlight for the next couple of weeks, which means your manicure best be on fleek. Or, if you're going for the natural look, make sure your nails are clean and shaped.
Otherwise, friends will be focusing more on your chipped nail polish than your gorgeous engagement ring. Not cool. Sarah Culotta via Pinterest.
A picture is worth a thousand words, right? If you're ready to share with the world that you're engaged, open up that Instagram. I have come to the conclusion that not everyone is going to support me.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, my family included, but you can either support me or not. These words are for us all.
