I have shouted it to all my friends and relatives. We girls all jump up and down when I say it, as if there was a magical engagement trampoline under our feet. The guys just roll their eyes.
Engagement is fun.
I have a sparkly ring to show off to everyone, including strangers on the street. And I do show it to strangers on the street, because being engaged makes me very happy. I have a year to plan The Wedding, which will also be a lot of fun. With my lacking fashion sense, I m sure I can find the worst dresses out there. But in the flush of new engagement, I realize I have been thinking only of the engagement and wedding.
