Breaking the News
Jul 04, 2014
So. I couldn't wear my ring until I told my parents. And I couldn't face the fussing and the excitement, and I didn't want to say the word 'engaged'.
So I wrote an email! Mum had just got email, and found it super duper exciting. And Dad actually knew how to work it, so he could help Mum if she got stuck. They wouldn't mind that it was an email. And I'd avoid the awkward conversation.
Snapped a picture of the ring, attached it, and off it went.
Jon called his family instead. His parents were thrilled. His Grandma wanted to know what he meant by "In Digs", and his Grandad thought we were "Going on the stage". I still don't know what on earth his Grandma means by "in digs", but I'm glad I didn't have to have that conversation!
BUT. He got it over and done with. I did not.

I would sadly be murdered by my family if that's how I did it.
Great thing I'm not ever planning on getting married, my confidence is zero in that aspect...
Ah well, hope you enjoy yours to the fullest, err, at least as much as you can without it feeling like I'm pressuring you, as then I'd feel bad.
