Hi Ladies,
My fiance and I were recently engaged, but we've kept it pretty quiet so far. We've told only our family and only the closest of friends so far. We've also pretty much sworn them to secrecy! We are planning for a small destination wedding in Vegas in September but there are a lot of people that we couldn't invite due to budget and size limitations on the space.
My question is: Am I shooting myself in the foot by keeping the engagement quiet? I know a lot of friends would be hurt (but understand) that they weren't invited to the wedding if we just talk up the small wedding/budget constrictions. But if they find out on something like Facebook that we got married, I'm afraid that it will hurt even more that they didn't know we were engaged.
As I'm typing this, I feel like I'm answering my own question, but I'd love to know if anyone has been through something similar? I don't want any hurt feelings, but my fiance and I don't really like the spotlight. We love our friends, but not the attention it would bring by telling the world that we are engaged/will be married soon.
Should we just tell people we are engaged and get it over with?!
