Newly Engaged

Being newly engaged is uniquely thrilling and intimidating in equal parts. For the person doing the proposing, the day(s) leading up to the proposal is terrifying. Morgan admits that the day he decided to propose he was nervous and sweating all day. During the dinner Sarah though he seemed more excited than usual, but later Morgan confessed that his heart was racing in his ears and his adrenalin made it hard for him to sit still. But once the proposal was done, Morgan felt exhilarated and relieved.

Being proposed to is exciting, surreal and terrifying. During the proposal time slowed as Sarah realized she could make or break or man with one word. Being handed that power, in public a setting no less, was frankly terrifying and Sarah didn't like it. But thankfully Morgan's proposal wasn't simply, "will you marry me" and his sweet anecdote gave Sarah time to snap to the important details, like do you love this man and do you want to spend the the rest of your life with him? The answer to which was a leaping "of course I'll marry you!" that knocked over a chair.

Settling in to being engaged

Morgan found being engaged to be, well, not much different than being not engaged for his everyday life.  Sarah, on the other hand, found being engaged to be overwhelming. Everyone was asking her questions. And not just the normal questions that'd you'd expect the day after getting engage ("Have you set a date?" Do you know where?") but some incredibly detailed questions like:

What flower bouquets are you going to have?
Have you picked out a dress ?
Have you written your vows yet?

O_O

No. No, Sarah doesn't have the answers to those questions ... she was engaged yesterday.

But hey, it's all worth it for the engagement party

Positive proof that we are in sync.
