    Pretty sure it was my mom and grandma on the same phone call (we are in TX, they are in MI). First and only in person notification was FH's brother, sister-in-law & niece when we got home.

    Both of our immediate families were around along with some of my aunts, uncles, and cousins (it happened at Easter) so they were the first ones to know. The first person I texted after that was my Matron of Honor! We FaceTimed later that day so she could see the ring and talk about the proposal.

    We were actually on a vacation with his sister and her boyfriend, and his best friend and his girlfriend, which they all knew it was happening and watched it happen. My parents were the first ones we called though. Smiley smile

    I tried to tell my parents first but neither one of them answered their phones so we ended up telling our friends we were on vacation with first. Then I told my sister since my parents STILL didn't return my call.

    His mom when we got home being she was there visiting for a week. But she knew cause she was the one holding the ring for him till he was ready and then I am ashamed to say Facebook was next...lol my guy proposed at 11 PM after a Christmas theater show we went to on a Monday night. Anyone I would have called (mom or dad) were asleep.

    I first told my mom. My FH proposed at a private spot in our old town (about 15 minutes) so no one (except his parents and my brother; they hid the ring) knew.

    I think I called my mom first, but I sent a mass text with my family and 4 best friends on it with pictures like 20 minutes after.

    FHs dad and stepmom were there for the proposal, so they knew first. That was immediately followed by a text to my best friend, a call to my parents, and a call to my sister. I guess he called his mom too somewhere in there!

    My family was already present and in on the night's activities, so it was my work friend who I dragged with me to get nails done earlier that week (just in case!)
