A ring<\/a> box? A series of text messages between your S.O and your best friend discussing your favourite diamond shape?<\/p>\n

You go out for dinner at a fancy restaurant<\/a>. Your partner puts their hand in their pocket, only to pull out their wallet to pay<\/a> the bill.<\/p>\n

Gotta tell your mum, dad<\/a>, sister, bestie<\/a>, uncle, aunty, grandma, cousin, friend from high school that you occasionally keep in touch with, and your work friend, (so she knows the backstory before you come in on Monday).<\/p>\n

You then realise you have to plan an ENTIRE wedding<\/h2>\n
