Presentingor showing off an engagement ring is probably one of the most joyousthings you will ever do – and you might already be thinking ofgetting married inGibraltar, an excitingoverseas destination for which we offer a range of enticing weddingpackages.
However,if you have only just got engaged, the work of organising your dreamwedding will have effectively only just begun. So with no furtherado, here are some of the things you should most urgently do onceit’s ‘official’…
Break the news to your family
Naturally,you might need a bit of time to recover from the giddiness you arebound to feel as one half of a newly engaged couple. You mustn’tlose complete control of your senses, however – as your family willneed to know at some point that the engagement has happened.
If youconsulted your mother or father for their opinion on a potentialengagement ring before you bought it, all that you might need to donow is tell them your other half said yes.
Get a manicure
During thefirst few weeks of your engagement, many people will be eager for agood look at the sparkler on your finger. For this reason, you’llwant to make sure your nails are in the best possible aestheticcondition before any of that happens.
Otherwise,unsightly nails could distract onlookers from the ring itself –although brides don’t have to worry about doing anything tooelaborate with their nails. As longas they are clean and shaped, even merely natural-looking – ratherthan varnished – nails will do.
Tell everyone else in your social circle aboutthe engagement
You shouldstart by personally telling the closest friends in your inner circlebefore letting the news trickle out further, perhaps through a poston social media. You will soon be able to expect plenty of “like”and “love” responses to your status update about the big news!
Resize your engagement ring
You won’twant your engagement ring to accidentally slip off your finger anddisappear, such as when you are out and about. After all, your ringwill have sentimental value now that you know it was there at themagic moment when you or your partner proposed and the other saidyes.
This helpsto explain why, in the likely event that the ring isn’t quite aperfect fit, you should have its band size adjusted sooner ratherthan later.
