Since my parents were there, I called my cousin (my MOH) first. She screamed because we had been dating for 7 years and we survived a distance relationship.

I waited all day to tell my mom since FI proposed in the morning. Her response was "let me see the ring, he didn't have it on him when he asked for my blessing!"
I then sent a mass text to my friends. I caught major hell for that LOL
We were at a Babyface concert, so I couldnt really call right away lol. I sent a mass text to my parents and siblings (who already knew), then my 2 bffs. I called my sister, then mom immediately the concert was over. Best night of my life
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I called my mom. She said 'Congrats' she knew it was coming. He asked her permission just days before, she was just waiting for him to pop the question.
I believe I texted my sister(really my cousin but we're very close) first. I dont really remember the calls or txts afterwards. News spread like wildfires afterwards lol
~We're far from perfect, but he is my happily ever after~

Well, we kinda talked about getting married... and decided we would. There was no reall popping of the question. But when I got my ring..which was a surprise, I posted it on facebook...
The post read "it official" lol.. everyone already knew we were getting married. They were just waiting on the ring.
My mom and cousin (they were both at my mom's house celebrating NYE together). When I told them, they both said on speakerphone, "Congrats! We already knew & were waiting for you to call us".
i called my parents first and they already knew because he asked them the week before. Then i called my bestie and then my line sister. she made me come over to see the ring lol
My MOH but i don't even remember her reation. I then showed my mom my hand, she said "Did u get ur nails done?" Then she screamed when she finally saw the ring.
Since his whole family was there for Christmas Eve and he surprised me by having my mom and my sister there I called my Matron of Honor or should I say I texted her a pick of my hand and before I could send her a text with words she was calling me. It was Christmas eve and Christmas morning by the time I got home around 2 so I didn't want to call but she was not having that we talked for about 20 minutes she was screaming and ready to plan. I love her!
I sent a massive text message after that to all my friends and I got responses all night long. One of the best nights ever I am so glad my mom and sister were there it was really awesome.
My grandma!!! I was screaming and jumping up and down and she said "Lord, chi are you ok?" I couldn't even get it out then I told her "I'm getting married" and she started screaming right along with me lol
