Rules of Engagement
1. Ask parents, live in person. You may doubt it, but it's worth it. Every dad, and likely mom, wants their future son-in-law to treat their daughter with up most respect. A good way to know you are capable of that is to "man up" and ask her parents when planning to be engaged.
2. Plan something special that fits you. If you and your future fiancée are outgoing, do something outgoing like. If you prefer more to just be with each other, just do something special for the 2 of you.
3. Sunny weather, blue skies, and a blue ocean won't hurt either way.
4. Don't start wedding planning right away. It's fun just to be 'engaged'
5. Don't put off wedding planning too long. You want to get the fun, cool, but not expensive place to be married and celebrate it.
So, anyways, I really love being engaged.
Being married will be better.
