We hope that our not-so subtle hinting in the lead up to Valentine’s prompted some romantics to pop the question this year. Voted as one of the most popular days in the year to get down on one knee, we’re sure there are some romantic stories out there to share. We’d love to hear your proposal stories, whether they were from this Valentine’s or not, so send them over to us on Facebook or Twitter.
If your other half did get all teary eyed and delved into their pocket for a shiny ring this year, you’ve got some serious planning ahead of you. You may be hoping to wed next month or leaving it for another year. Don’t feel like you have to get stressed just yet, why not have an interlude and celebrate with an engagement party?
Invite all your friends round, get the champagne flowing and scatter the tables with tasty treats and fabulous favours. Get a guest book and ask your guests to write down their fondest memories of you as a couple (this could be particularly useful for speeches on the big day!) Get their input for ideas for the wedding and, most importantly, take lots of pictures! There’s a lot of pressure and build up to a wedding day so prove to yourself that you can organise a great party and give the family members a chance to get their drunken dancing out of the way!
