    Our parents! We actually messaged them on facebook, as we were in Iceland and could not really call. Later I messaged my best friend and maid of honor!

    Sorry I am just getting to reply to you. It's been crazy. The first person I called was my dad. My fiance (Mitch) talked to him and came straight to my house and asked me to marry him in my drive way. I was so surprised. When I called my dad he said that he is so happy for me and that I picked a good one.

    I called my dad. Then I texted my sister to ask if she was around and she said yes (she's notoriously terrible at responding to text messages) and just sent her a picture of my ring and she called FREAKING out and then we went to go look and my fiance's ice sculptures.

    I called everyone else the next few days.

    Texted my best friend immediately after, then both sets of parents. He proposed on Christmas Day just the two of us, so most of the family knew by that evening with all the holiday phone calls. :-)

    I called my mom first. She didn't answer, so I called my eldest sister. Then mom called back and I told her Smiley smile Then I went down the list haha Smiley ring
    Everyone (both of our families and our friends) knew it was coming soon, but didn't know when lol. He also asked my mom's permission, so she knew. Smiley heart

    It happened in my FH hometown right after Christmas so we decided to tell his mom + grandma in person first. Then I called my parents and sisters once we were back at the hotel.
