Maybe I over reacted!

Ok, ok, I may have over reacted. It isn't just my day. But I would like to live in the illusion that it is.

My Fiancé's parents must have realised the error they made in the way they reacted to the news. So last night they asked us to come over and gave us a lovely card and engagement gift. They also made much more of an effort to be friendly and talk to both of us.

We also announced to the world through the most prevalent social networking site of the moment that we had gotten engaged and it has become very clear, very quickly that we are going to have to have a party or two for our various friends to celebrate with us.  It is funny but there are all these things that come up straight away after you get engaged that, as the couple we are, we just didn't think about at all. Like everyone asking "So when's the day?" We keep on having to answer we aren't too sure or in 2013. Everyone also wants to party with us and I suppose we were silly to think this way but it almost felt like the only people this news would be important to is us and our families.

We have already started to break with convention as we went to tell my Fiancé's best friend since he was a child and her other half that we are engaged last night, also to ask her to be his Best Man. We had always said that when we got married she would have to be his Best Man and getting engaged didn't change our minds at all. They were also so excited for us, it became apparent after talking to them for a few minutes that they had been waiting for my Fiancé to pop the question for so long that when we contacted them to ask could we come over they spent the day emailing each other about how excited they were. When we were about to break the news to them and we were himming and hawwing over it between us, our friend eventually just squealed "Just say it!" in a pitch only audible to dogs. That was exactly the reaction we had been hoping for from most of our friends and family so it was really refreshing to finally get it, and also to share our joy with them.

All in all a much better third day then I was expecting. We also got some great news about me health wise. This is just our week. Maybe I should go do the lottery?
