Guess who's getting a proposal soon! (self.weddings)

I am so excited, my boyfriend and I have been planning to get married relatively soon but 'engagement' was too heavy of a word for 'someday somewhat soon planning to get married' and I've just been informed that I will be getting a ring and a proposal in the near future~. This is such a big deal because my man isn't super traditional or sentimental but it's such a big deal to me so to be able to have a proposal and engagement is sending me over the moon right now and I just need to share <3 He's going to surprise me too, which I'm so excited about. It's time to binge Say Yes to the Dress and make my mood boards!

Congrats!

Any ideas on when you’d tie the knot?

Small venue? Big venue? Destination wedding?

Thank you so much!

Maybe spring or summer 2024 :) I'm really holding out hope for a May wedding, if we can get everything ready that quickly.

We've talked about doing a courthouse wedding for simplicity but it might also be nice to do an elopement somewhere special nearby. We aren't going to have family involved and we each have few friends who live out of state so it'll be just us really. But that doesn't mean a courthouse wedding or an elopement can't be special and magical~.

I am so so excited for you!! Definitely want to see the ring when you get it! Did you discuss designs or will it be a complete surprise?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! And I will definitely show the ring when I get it~. It sounds like it'll be a surprise since we haven't talked much about designs, which I'm really excited for. This whole time I thought I was going to have to be the one dictating everything wedding-related since he's not very sentimental about this kind of thing, so it's sweet that he's taking the initiative and making it fun for me. It'll be really interesting to see what he picks :)

Congrats! Have fun and remember to slow down enough to enjoy at least the first couple weeks of being "officially" engaged before jumping off the deep end!
