A FEW PAGES, JUST AS THEY ARE
Let the news belong to you first
An engagement can change the speed of a conversation overnight. People who were asking about your weekend may begin asking about dates, venues, and invitations. You are allowed to enjoy the news before providing a plan. A wedding date is useful when you are ready to choose one; it is not an entrance requirement for being engaged.
