The Best Captions to Announce Your Engagement

The Best Captions to Announce Your Engagement

The moments after getting engaged can be a total whirlwind. When my partner got down on one knee and proposed, it felt like my brain stalled out completely. I was so surprised — not to mention thrilled — that I could barely muster a "yes!" Now, almost seven years later, I still get some good-natured ribbing for my gobsmacked response. Let's just say it took me a minute to recover from the shock enough to come up with the right engagement caption to share the good news with the world, and I write for a living. That's why we've come up with a robust list of engagement caption ideas that will go perfectly with your ring shot, no matter how your betrothed proposed.

These days, there are as many ways to propose as there are people getting engaged. And just like your ring (and your relationship) are totally unique to you and your love, the caption you use to share the news shouldn't be cookie-cutter either. Start with one of these ideas and tailor it to your preferences. If you're a literary type, you might also want to check out these heartfelt engagement quotes to share how reaching this milestone makes you feel.
