The Wedding Chronicles #1.1

I just thought I ought to point out the main difference of announcing one's engagement to one's female and male friends.

Typical Reaction of Female Friends

"OH EM GEE! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!! CONGRATULATIONS BABE!!! AHHHH!!!!"

"How did he propose?!?"

"Let me see the bling!!!"

"I'm so happy for you! I could explode!!!" (both of us proceed to squeal happily)

"Do you need any help? Let me know if I can help with anything! YAY!!!"

"When is the big day?!?"

 Typical Reaction of Male Friends

"Congratulations. Have you planned the date yet?"

"Congratulations. Do you know where you're having the reception and banquet?"

(if answer to the above two questions is no and friend is married) "Ok. I will email you a checklist on what you and J need to do."

(If answer to the above two questions is no and friend is not married) "Don't you think that you all should start planning already? I heard that you need a long time to prepare. You also have to start thinking of all the other things, like getting a house, loosing weight, choosing the dress...I mean, that's what everbody tells me. It's going to be a lot of work."

"Do you need any help?"

 "When's the big day?"

That being said, I appreciate all the types of reactions I've been getting. I've never felt so loved by my friends. <3
