About to propose, Facebook can fuck off?

  • What my SO and I did: Tell close friends and family by phone, then "announce" on FB so all the distant friends and family can learn about it.

  • I wouldn't marry someone who'd announce it on Facebook. It'd be like if you leaned in for your first kiss, and they said, "Wait, let me Instagram this".

  • Lots of people we know do that / say that to people. A friend called me just last week telling me his wife was pregnant and to stay off of Facebook until they told everyone.

    Most people comply - those that don't - get defriended.
