we were on a cruise when FH proposed.. so we called my mom first, then his mom and then my dad... He hadn't told anyone he was going to do it so everyone was as surprised as I was!!

I called my Dad first. It wasn't a surprise to him or anyone else they already knew. I called my grandmother 2nd but my father already told her too!

Re: Who was the 1st person you told when you got engaged?
Oh I love these stories!My story:
I was a bartender at a bar with a pretty rough crowd - not your usual hangout. Anyway it was Valentines day and my boyfriend showed up with a dozen red roses and a box of diamond earrings! He came behind the bar and surprised me - and the filled bar. Then after I thought he was done, and I was thrilled with my earrings he had one of his friends jump behind the bar and take over for me. Then he took me into the back and told me he forgot to give me my other present. Well he could barely utter the words 'will you marry me' without crying. He pulled out the ring that I had my eye on when I worked for a jewelery company. I was stunned! So right then and there the whole bar knew I was permanently attached! They never really knew before!
The best part of the story is what he told me later that night. He stayed until I closed the bar and we went to breakfast to celebrate. He told me he had been at work the week before and it just hit him that he couldn't imagine living without me. So that day he went and bought the ring. He told a million people and showed a million people and he even had to take the ring back to be cleaned he showed so many!
So yes that is my honey, my fiance!
And I love him more today than I did when I said yes!

Re: Who was the 1st person you told when you got engaged?
One of my good friends Denise, because she had some how randomly predicted that I would get engaged in October, so when it happened in October I had to call her and be like OMG you wont believe what just happened. I then called all my friends, my mom's cell phone was off and I was out of town so unfortunetly she was like one of the last people to find out. My dad was the first to know since FI asked his permission the night before.

Re: Who was the 1st person you told when you got engaged?
My colleague actually, bc he proposed at like 12 on a 'school night' (I'm a teacher), so it was too late to call anyone and too early the next morning. I called my parents that afternoon.
