Getting Engaged

For most people, getting engaged with the prospect of getting married is a time of great excitement. Yet this event in life still remains a commitment, which brings change in life that is not always easy to adapt to.

Getting engaged also involves taking a decision privately and as a couple, whilst on the other hand it involves declaring publicly the decision taken.

It also means that the newly engaged couple is no longer just good friends, yet they aren’t yet a married couple.

Once the engagement is announced, the couple is twirled from the life they were living into a wider circle with demands and interests which might sometimes seem like an unwanted intrusion.

Everyone is different so the way people choose to get engaged will vary. The romantics will proclaim the news from the top of some roof-top to make sure that everyone gets to share a piece of their happiness, others prefer to remain reserved and keep the news as much as possible to themselves. The latter couple usually prefers to get accustomed to their new life first, before communicating it to others.

No matter how long the couple might have known each other, the announcement of an engagement always brings some element of shock; hopefully a pleasant one. Remember that it is not only you have to come to terms with the fact of being engaged, but also your family and friends. Expect different, and unpredictable, reactions to your decision. Don’t even try to interpret your family members’ reaction to the news; their attempt to get to terms with the situation does not mean disappointment or disapproval.
