From casual to formal, here’s how to plan your picture-perfect engagement party
Firsty, congratulations! You're getting married! After a proposal,...
Charlotte and Jason met online in 2015. “Jay plucked up the courage and messaged me asking me out on a date,” says Charlotte. “When we finally met I thought he was a kind, caring and genuine guy.”
Jason popped the question during a trip to Dubai in 2017. “He’d bought the ring a few days earlier and hid it in my parent’s hotel room,” shares the bride. “He decided to do it while we were having drinks overlooking the Burj Al Arab before going out for dinner one evening. It was a complete surprise, and we couldn’t have been happier.”
