Just Got Engaged_ Great! Here’s What To Do Next - Sweet Gibraltar Wedding (1)

1. Just Got Engaged? Great! Here’s What To Do Next - Sweet Gibraltar Wedding Presenting or showing off an engagement ring is probably one of the most joyous things you will ever do – and you might already be thinking of getting married in Gibraltar, an exciting overseas destination for which we offer a range of enticing wedding packages. However, if you have only just got engaged, the work of organising your dream wedding will have effectively only just begun. So with no further ado, here are some of the things you should most urgently do once it’s ‘official’… Break the news to your family Naturally, you might need a bit of time to recover from the giddiness you are bound to feel as one half of a newly engaged couple. You mustn’t lose complete control of your senses, however – as your family will need to know at some point that the engagement has happened. If you consulted your mother or father for their opinion on a potential engagement ring before you bought it, all that you might need to do now is tell them your other half said yes. Get a manicure During the first few weeks of your engagement, many people will be eager for a good look at the sparkler on your finger. For this reason, you’ll want to make sure your nails are in the best possible aesthetic condition before any of that happens. Otherwise, unsightly nails could distract onlookers from the ring itself – although brides don’t have to worry about doing anything too elaborate with their nails. As long as they are clean and shaped, even merely natural-looking – rather than varnished – nails will do. Tell everyone else in your social circle about the engagement You should start by personally telling the closest friends in your inner circle before letting the news trickle out further, perhaps through a post on social media. You will soon be able to expect plenty of “like” and “love” responses to your status update about the big news! Resize your engagement ring You won’t want your engagement ring to accidentally slip off your finger and disappear, such as when you are out and about. After all, your ring will have sentimental value now that you know it was there at the magic moment when you or your partner proposed and the other said yes.

2. This helps to explain why, in the likely event that the ring isn’t quite a perfect fit, you should have its band size adjusted sooner rather than later.
