    Ninth Anniversary 1000 Comments 500 Love Its Combo Breaker
    Honestly, I posted to FB right away because I didn't know how to have that " I am engaged" convo without seeming like an AW. I also posted a ring pic (guilty: disembodied hand) but in no way could it be taken as a "look how much money he spent" kind of pic as my stones arent expensive in any way.

    We told my parents in person (we live close to them). H called his parents. I emailed my friends. Then it went very quietly on FB as a relationship status change that was hidden from my news feed. People we hadn't already told noticed when H posted a photo taken at Disneyland where you can see a sparkly on my hand.

    I found out about one friend's engagement via MySpace. That must've been in 2006 or 2007. I was a bit annoyed about that.

    I love pictures of the ring! I don't see it as AWish or maybe it is and I just don't care. I'm always disappointed when they post a picture of the couple and I can't see the ring.

    So... basically from this, I am going to take away that I should inform my family/friends first and then put it up on facebook!

    @bethsmiles - YES. I love pictures of the ring. I stalk the 'engagement event' photos to see it. I want a close up, goshdarnit! I love seeing how people's rings reflect their (and their fiance's) tastes/personalities.

    My sister & her husband called immediate family (parents, siblings, grandparents) and then sent out a mass text to other family/friends that evening. The updated Facebook after they sent out the text messages.

    My bf & I will probably do something similar that way the most important people don't find out via Facebook but directly from us.

    I am NEY but I think I would call my parents, grandparents, other close relatives and my best friend and then send a text to others close to us and then update facebook after.

    I enjoy seeing pictures of people's rings and most of the posts I've seen that do not include a picture of a ring usually have everal comments asking for ring pictures!

    I  think the ring adventure pictures sounds fun!

    Yes, this please! It's always nicer to hear such personal news first-hand. 

    We called our parents and brothers and told our friends, which was easy because we happened to have a party that night. Then we posted it on Facebook when we got home. No ring pic.

    What about engagement pictures? Anyone do professional ones? Do you still send them if you announce it on FB?

    We did e-pics and used one of them on our save-the-dates. 

    We didn't send engagement announcements or anything like that.

    I for damn sure am going to post a picture of my ring when it happens. I've waited a long time for this shit, and I'm going to bask in ALL it's glory. If people think it's tacky, fuck them. 


    I mean, sure, I'll call all the important people (I think at least 90% of the top 10 are from here) first, but then that rock is going on the FB. Because I AM an AW, and I love it when I get a shit ton of likes. So there. 
    Bahahaha, I love you for this entire post.

    Bf's best friend proposed to his GF a few months ago, and she posted a photo collage of pictures of the two of them taken right after it happened. I literally zoomed in about 300% to try to get a good view of the ring. So I'm with Tiger, I want to see that rock - no mater the type or size!

    We did professional engagement photos about 2 months after we got engaged. Our save the date was one of our photos. We sent our save the dates about 6 months outside of the wedding but we didn't do any other type of announcement or anything on Facebook about our save the dates...we posted our engagement photos on there.
