WHAT TO DO AFTER ENGAGEMENT

Engagement is a touching moment. It is confirmation that your loved one has chosen you as his future companion and wants to lead the days together until old age for age. It sounds beautiful, but the confusion that runs through his head the moment he asks the fateful question certainly is quite disturbing until your YES! Maybe you've been waiting for it for a long time, or maybe you're surprised and you didn't even guess his plans, but it has happened - you are engaged. The new status is sure to generate excitement and it may happen that you are already enamored with the thoughts of the wedding. However, it is important to also enjoy the engagement as a special and a major turning point in your relationship. LĪGAVĀM compiled suggestions for what to do after engagement to prolong and would enjoy this time from the heart.

Enjoy the moment

Do not rush to tell the whole world that you are engaged five minutes after the event. this moment is just about to you both and your future together. Before announcing the news to a wider circle and throwing yourself into the whirlwind of events called wedding planning, spend time with each other and enjoy a moment of peace. It is worth going on longer holidays and spend time in a romantic atmosphere in a forest or seaside cabin far from other people.

If this is not possible, plan at least one day together, for example for a visit to the SPA or a gala dinner with your at your favorite restaurant. Maybe it's worth going to the place where you went on your first date and reminiscing about that moment the feelings, the passing time, appreciating how beautiful this engagement time is. Also a romantic movie, hot cocoa and curling up in each other's nitrogen can be a nice way to prolong the beautiful moment while it's just you and the world knows nothing yet. Wedding planning will definitely be a test for your nerve cells, which is why it is so important to strengthen your intimacy and union even before that.

Important Notice

Of course, it would be foolish to keep your engagement a secret forever.

Anyone who has been by your side and seen how your love blossoms will be heartily happy about such news. Family and close friends definitely deserve to be the first to know. It is best if it is possible to announce it in person and observing the reactions of your peers, but in cases where this is not possible, think of an attractive way to communicate it. You can always call, but you can also send an engagement photo or a cute video greeting from the two of you. There is couples who choose to announce their engagement immediately to a wide audience Facebook or Instagram , but those closest to you will appreciate it if you've made them feel special by letting them know in advance.

Take care of your ring

It is understandable that you do not want to part with a ring that represents such an important promise. However, if the groom is not there hit with the right size and the ring either squeezes or is too big, it is important to adjust it.

A ring that is too big can easily slip off the finger and disappear, while a ring that is too tight can interfere with blood circulation and cause pain. Go to a jeweler and ask them to adjust the ring for your finger. Even if the engagement ring fits perfect, don't forget to take it away from time to time to polish and clean it from dust that can accumulate behind the gem and make it opaque.

Let the champagne sparkle

There are never too many holidays, and there is no better reason to celebrate than the beginning of a new phase of life. You can certainly arrange an engagement party for your loved ones or clinking champagne with girlfriends at a girls' party or going out on a trip. this moment is worth celebrating and no matter what kind of celebration it is, love, just like life is to be celebrated.

Capture the love

In recent years engagement photo sessions have become very popular. It's a way to capture yours status as betrothed. It is a noteworthy stage between a relationship and marriage, and most likely such a period will no longer be in your lives. You can organize a photo session at the place of your first date, or where you will confess to each other in love, or in place of engagement.
