I think when a big milestone like this happens, we're definitely entitled to share it with the world via social media and blogging and whatnot, but I've had some friends that post picture of their engagement ring from 20 different angles and post all of those pictures to instagram daily. Annoying! It's like, I'm happy for you, but come on...we get it.

One of the moments that to this day I'm most embarrassed about was at my cousin's wedding...I had gotten my engagement ring maybe a couple weeks before, my grandma hadn't seen it yet, so at the wedding reception, right in front of my cousin, the bride, my grandma grabs my hand, "Oh, let me see your ring! Hey (my cousin), have you seen her ring yet?" Oh my goodness I felt so bad and I wanted to hide....my ring isn't "big" or flashy, and I don't think my cousin minded in the long run...but years later I still feel that was awkward...Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-48036698874014750652013-12-17T10:49:23.485-05:002013-12-17T10:49:23.485-05:00So many things I could say but I'll leave it a...So many things I could say but I'll leave it at this--AMENTamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317160783424950095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-11489719782049152362013-12-17T10:44:29.566-05:002013-12-17T10:44:29.566-05:00Such an awesome post!

Our 9 month engagement was focused on planning an awesome wedding together, yes, but preparing ourselves for marriage, too! We did marriage counseling sessions with the pastor that would marry us, we talked about finances and prepared to buy our first house-- marriage is the key here, not the ring!!!Erin LFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769034488164372047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-86117648025722907812013-12-17T10:27:24.466-05:002013-12-17T10:27:24.466-05:00LOVE this.

I actually never posted a picture of my ring, although my cousin did end up sharing the picture I texted her when she publicly congratulated us on fbook. I also never shared every little step of wedding planning..."dress shopping today", "said yes to the dress!", "booked our honeymoon!"....ugh.

She and her husband went engagement ring shopping together a couple of months before he proposed so she could show him exactly what he wanted. I don't want that! I want him to know me well enough to know what I would want, or to ask me "Hey, do you like this?" A guy friend said to me once, "Men get married to get married. Women get married to have a wedding." That resonated with me and I think it's so true! Thanks to Pinterest and Facebook and "friendly" competition we put way too much pressure on the details these days instead of just focusing on starting a family!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332367811986266081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-70014040476402831892013-12-17T09:23:08.987-05:002013-12-17T09:23:08.987-05:00totally 100% agree! i love when friends get engag...totally 100% agree! i love when friends get engaged and are over the moon excited, but I hate the i-must-show-off attitude that some girls get. if all you care about is the big diamond, you probably shouldn't be getting married.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086890228560710550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-86261659816050368922013-12-17T09:22:35.659-05:002013-12-17T09:22:35.659-05:00Most of my friends posted ONE shot of their ring o...Most of my friends posted ONE shot of their ring on FB because obviously people ask to see it.

The wedding is but one day in a lifetime of days together.
