But now that it’s time to start planning, you might be feeling overwhelmed. Here are the first things we did when got engaged, and why you should do them too!   1.       Enjoy the moment! He just asked the question- you’re probably thinking of a thousand different things. Will the ring fit? Did he get the one I wanted? Is someone taking pictures? Am I wearing the right thing? Did crying mess up my makeup? How did he plan this? Or maybe you can’t even gather your thoughts. Sit down together, cuddle, talk about how he planned it, bought the ring, who knew, etc. Enjoy the moment! You want to be able to remember this day forever.

What is Blissful Bubbles?

  Welcome back to Blissful Bubbles! What is Blissful Bubbles? Who knows, I don't know! 🤣 I had to start a blog for a class, so this might take me a little bit to figure out. Bear with me! I plan on sharing recipes (that I have found, I certainly can't create them!), wedding planning content, general lifestyle content, and more. Maybe I'll even breakdown some pop culture moments to help you understand them. Because if you're anything like me, you don't know Brad Pitt from Matt Damon and the lore that follows them...but sometimes the drama is so interesting! Why Blissful Bubbles? I chose the name Blissful Bubbles because whenever I sit down with some ~bubbles~ and my friends the tea that gets spilled is hottttt....I LOVE DRAMA. I don't want to be in the middle of drama, I just like to know about it. My friends and I also talk about recipes, wedding planning, and more.  So my hope is that when you read my blog, you'll pour yourself a glass of something yummy- ...
