Engagement --- That Little, Tiny Thing Between Your Marriage Proposal and the Wedding
Tuesday May 5, 2009
When you get engaged, most people will want to know details about the proposal, and then what your plans are for the wedding. What they don't ask you about, and probably should, is what your plans are for your engagement.
If you're scratching your head right now, confused about what I'm talking about, probably no one has ever told you that an engagement is not just a giant rush towards your wedding day. There are engagement parties and announcements. And, this a time of preparation for marriage, of self-investment, of learning to negotiate, and a time of celebration. It's Not Just a Countdown! Making Your Engagement Special
