However, I don't think I say that wistfully, wishing I had a moment where I could announce to my entire family that we were engaged and everyone screams with excitement and shock. "Oh my gosh! We had no idea! What a wonderful surprise!"
We still had plenty of "how wonderfuls" but no one we told was surprised. In fact, many of my relatives went out of their way to hint that one of my aunts had been taking bets on when during the week of Thanksgiving the deed would be done.
I don't know how most people would feel in this situation, but I was INCREDIBLY flattered. It always makes me happy to hear that people can see how in love Mishka and I are with each other, that we're serious and committed to each other. I don't need their approval to validate my love for him, but it makes me very happy to know that our happiness and our love shows through our faces and our behavior towards each other.
So while it might have been nice to be able to shock everyone with an announcement during Thanksgiving dinner, I like the way things turned out just fine :).
