10 Things That Change When You Get Engaged.

There was some anxiety

  • I had some milestones I had hoped to reach before engagement, but that did not happen. If this also happens to you, just remember that he loves you even when you don’t think you are perfect.

Holidays automatically became a joint venture.

  • If your families have not met already, best believe this is the perfect time to get them together. 

Disagreements Feel Heavier

  • *whispers* because you’re in too deep. 

People started viewing me as an adult

  • It wasn’t the full-time job, the student loan debt, or the quarter-life crisis that sealed the deal. It was the idea of committing my life to be the partner to my fiancé. 

You’ll be asked a ton of questions

  • When’s the wedding? Kids? Grandkids? Yeah. It’s a lot. 

You vow to cook more.

  • Because the patriarchy has convinced me that I must cook for my husband. Just kidding… it’s because you both decide you need to be healthier for each other. 

You become ten times busier.

  • Mainly because all of my friends want to celebrate #lovey’all

His friends become your friends and vice versa.

  • This happened before our engagement as we are in the same friend group, but it means the wedding is gonna be litty 

Your parents stop fielding questions about what's going on with your relationship.

  • My dad asked me every week for three months about my relationship… 

You start calling him "my fiance."

  • This one I am still learning.
