I'm not going to share the details on here because I feel sort of protective over the whole thing but I'd be happy to tell anybody who knows me personally. My ring is so lovely. I'd already seen it before the proposal because Ryan had bought it a month earlier, he told me it was an anniversary present to wear on the third finger of my right hand as a sneaky way of making sure it fit my ring finger. I thought it was gorgeous beforehand but now it means so much more. It's a physical manifestation of our love and commitment to each other and already, less than a week later I feel a little bit lost when I'm not wearing it.
I think we're still on a bit of a high from the amazingness of it all. In many ways living as an engaged couple is no different from how we were living before and I still like to call Ryan my boyfriend in private as saying it seems cute now, like a pet name. I'm very aware now though, of the seriousness of it all. Before I'd had no doubt in my mind that Ryan was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and now it seems real. Ryan and I have both said that we only want to get married once in our lives so it's scary that we've made such a huge decision but we couldn't be happier!
I'm going to keep this blog updated with everything wedding and marriage related so I can keep faraway friends and family up-to-date, and also in the hope that I can connect with other people who are at a similar stage in their lives!
