Congratulations! You?re engaged! This is such an exciting time in your life, so make sure you soak it all up and enjoy the moment?and then start thinking about the wedding decisions you have to make right away. It?s a little too soon to jump head-first into wedding planning, but it?s important to keep the wedding on the back of your mind. These 10 steps are part planning and part enjoying the moment to help make sure your season of engagement and the wedding itself are as amazing as they deserve to be.
1. Actively Enjoy the Engagement

It can be so easy to get swept into the tornado of wedding planning the moment you say ?Yes!? Everyone wants to know when you?re planning to get married, where it will be, and so on. Sometimes it?s necessary to make the active decision to enjoy your engaged life. Take time to soak it up. Focus on each other. Admire your new bling. Share some quality time with your new fiancé and stay focused on what matters here: you love each other and you get to spend the rest of your lives together! 2. Announce to Loved Ones First
The news of your engagement often spreads much faster than you may anticipate, so after you tell one person, you want to take initiative and tell the people closest to you whom you love most. This may include best friends, family members, and anyone else you love and respect dearly. Consider who you wouldn?t want to hear the news from someone else and make sure they get to hear it directly from you.
