Finally engaged :)

I was totally shocked & surprised when he got on one knee and proposed! Been dating 2 & 1/2 years, got a 22k gold CZ ring! Of course I said yes ❤🥰

Should a married couple be as close as the closest of friends, or is it important for each to have their own personal space and interests?

Still in shock. Absolutely love my ring. Can’t stop staring at it :)

Took a trip to Japan and he proposed at Tokyo tower Japan on the 19th! He did just right, as I’m a simple plain individual. he paid attention to, showing I ever got proposed to, I never wanted anything extravagant and I wanted it to remain simple with a diamond and band. I do have to get it resized as the ring was bought in Korea and their sizing is a smidge different from America. Overall, very satisfied 🥰

I’m going to propose to my partner in a month. I want to ask her dad and mum/step dad. I’m much closer to the mum and step dad and it feels right to speak to them first, but I’m wondering if I should speak to her dad first, to keep tradition? There is no cultural incentive to do this, just wanting to be respectful and I suppose traditional.

Also, I’m wondering if I speak to the step dad separately to the mum, as I’m quite a bit closer to him and he’s been a prominent father figure for her growing up?

Hi!! I just got engaged yesterday after 5 years together and I’ve been checking out all of the wedding planning/bridal subreddits. It’ll be a long engagement since my brother is getting married in October of next year. But, we need some time to save anyways.

Any other Spring 2026 brides out there?

Bear with me here... My partner and I are looking to have a nontraditional proposal while on a family ski weekend. We don't want to get down on a knee or plan a surprise. We imagine exchanging some words about this next phase of life, then exchanging rings and perhaps taking pictures throughout/after to commemorate our engagement. Has anyone done something similar? Is there anything you would add to do this idea?

The ring is absolutely perfect and i have the most perfect man🖤 can’t wait to call you my husband 🥹

hey everyone! so i’m not engaged just yet butttt me and my boyfriend have done immense talking about our futures and marriage and kids and stuff. like we’ve talked about it so much that i have updated my pinterest board and have been eyeing venues. he knows the kind of ring to get and size. so it’s obviously going to happen any day now! i’m just nervous that with all this talking and lowkey planning that i won’t get that adrenaline pumping surprise moment. i not definitely will still be very emotional about it all but i don’t think it’ll come as a shock. same with friends and family, we’ve been talking about it a lot so they also won’t have the screaming surprise it’ll be very much “about time” or “saw that coming”. should i be worried about this? were any of you not surprised by your engagements?

Trying not to think too far into this but I’ve been waiting to get engaged for a really long time and today when checking the mail my boyfriend received a letter from jewelers mutual , it wasn’t a confirmation he bought a ring but an advertisement for them addressed to his name.

How else do they usually get this info, never seen him get an ad from them before.

Question for more left-of-center/unique/creative couples, what are your top 3 wedding websites and/or magazines to look at for inspiration (Pinterest doesn't count lol)??

My boyfriend of 3 1/2 years proposed yesterday morning! We are on vacation with his family and the proposal and ring is PERFECT! I’m a teacher and always wanted a summer wedding, but I’m struggling to decide if we should do it in 2025 or 2026. 2026 feels so far away after being together so long, but I also don’t want to rush the big day. Any tips?

What did you guys do? I have an engagement shoot lined up for 2 weeks from now; I was going to post then, but idk if I wanna wait that long!
