Getting engaged is always exciting – it’s the final stretch before you and your partner spend the rest of your lives together. Forever. It’s the time you intend to spend getting even closer to the love of your life and planning the dream day for the two of you to share with your closest family and friends. These are what we think are the most common stages anyone may go through from the moment their partner proposes.
Stage 1: The Squeal
Ah, the familiar sound of sheer excitement mixed with fear that pierces the soundwaves as their partner gets down on one knee.
Stage 2: The ‘Yes’
Do we need to say it twice?
Stage 3: The Facebook Post
We are living in the digital age where no part of our lives are too private anymore. Logic only states that if it’s not on Facebook then it’s not real so you’d better update your relationship status pronto!
Stage 4: The Grasp
You’ll sit down, but only after plastering every social media site with a picture of your ring finger.
Yeah… you’re getting married. Go you!
Stage 5: The Second Wave
Contemplating the thought of being married to the love of your life. And then it hits you. Again.
Yes, this is happening.
Stage 6: The Calm Before the Storm
After the high comes a wondrous state of zen, only experienced by those who are about to leave the potentially single scene…
Stage 7: The Confusion
Planning a wedding is stressful. Everyone knows that. No one ever knows where to start with the ordeal?
Stage 8: The Hassle Free Hitch
Why was it hassle free? Because this bride used Get Hitched and was able to get professional services and quotes easily and efficiently.
