You just got engaged! Congratulations. You’re likely on an emotional sugar-high, with your mind racing ahead to a million details. You’re imagining your life together, the wedding, the dress, the whole shebang. Birkat Elyon<\/a> has been part of many engagements over the years, offering couples beautiful (and affordable) cubic zirconia rings<\/a> that dazzle. They offer these seven helpful tips for navigating your newly-minted engagement.<\/p>\n

YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO STOP STARING AT YOUR HAND<\/h3>\n

Now that you have a beautiful piece of jewelry on your ring finger, everyone \u2013 and we mean EVERYONE \u2013 will want to take a peek. Pro tip? Get a manicure to properly show it off to all those well-wishers.<\/p>\n

YOUR IDEAL “VISION” MAY NOT HAPPEN<\/h3>\n

No matter how often you’ve dreamt of a perfect proposal scenario, things happen. Realize that you may be caught off guard, not wearing your gorgeous fantasy outfit and all the rest. Despite any glitches, focus on the fun and surprises of that special moment. This is your<\/em> story: love it!<\/p>\n

PUT YOUR PROPOSAL “STORY” ONLINE<\/h3>\n

On a similar note, you’ll be asked over and over \u2013 and over \u2013 again, “How did he propose?” Yes, the retelling of the tale can be fun, but to save yourself some time, write up your story (with all the juicy details) and put it on your wedding website (and if you don’t have a wedding website, you really should get one).<\/p>\n

IGNORE THE HATERS<\/h3>\n

Statistically, there will always be at least one person in your circle who is less than excited about your upcoming wedding. Keep in mind that their negative reaction is more a reflection on where they’re at. It’s not about you. Brush it off and focus on your upcoming joy \u2013 and all the people who are happy and supportive about it!<\/p>\n

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL FEEL \u2026 WEIRD<\/h3>\n

Even if you’ve been living together, getting engaged takes your relationship to another level. That new commitment can flip a switch: now you’re thinking about kids, blending families, where you’ll live, what faith you’ll practice. There are lots of little details that don’t necessarily arise when you’re “un-engaged.” Recognize these changes, be honest and discuss them with your partner. Pre-wedding counseling can also be helpful.<\/p>\n

YOU’LL IMMEDIATELY BE PUSHED INTO WEDDING PLANNING<\/h3>\n

Within about 60 seconds of the proposal, friends and family will be hounding you about the “when and where.” That engagement ring has barely warmed to your finger and already, you’re being asked about the dress, the date, the venue. It’s OK to take a time out (in fact, a lot of couples are doing “engagement-moons,” where they take a few days to just chill and enjoy the moment). Don’t let everyone else’s excitement push you into making decisions before you’re ready.<\/p>\n

YOUR MARRIED FRIENDS WILL HAVE LOTS OF OPINIONS<\/h3>\n

Yes, they may have “been there, done that,” but your recently-married friends may push just a little too hard with the wedding advice. You’re likely to hear a ton of “should\/shouldn’t” kind of things. Look, they mean well \u2013 so take it in stride. If some of their advice works for you, thank them and take it. If it doesn’t, thank them \u2013 and stick to your own plan.<\/p>\n
