A lot of the time it feels like people just get engaged overnight. But when you decide you want to marry your partner, it might seem like the whole getting engaged process takes forever. It’s not as simple as him catching you browsing The Knot and then getting down on one knee (now is it girls?)

There is much more planning, waiting and hinting (ie. leaving ring ideas just casually lying around the house) involved. That’s why when it finally happens it feels like a crazy dream come true! And you know what? That’s only the start of the beautiful wedding planning journey.
