Today I had a great blog post ready, but its going to have to wait. As I was doing some daily reading of blogs I came across an article posted yesterday on Glamour Weddings, 6 Things You Absolutely MUST Know About Each Other Before You Get Engaged. The article starts off with 6 major things you need to find out about your boyfriend before you get engaged. It is VERY important to know your partner in and out. I mean… come on…. you want to spend the rest of your life together right?.

Here are the 6 MUST know things according to Meredith Bodgas at Glamour Weddings:

1. Past Relationships. We’re not talking the short relationships, we’re talking the big ones. The ones that changed your life forever. Bodgas suggests that you also include in the details why you broke up, how long you were together and of course if you were married before.

2. Whether or Not You Want Kids. Its a deal breaker for a lot of couples. But, in my opinion you should know this very soon after your relationship gets serious.

3. The Possibility of Kids Already Running Around. Bodgas says that if your partner cut ties with women he had unprotected sex with, you need to know about it.

4. Your Takes on Religion. According to Bodgas you need to know how important religion could become, and what religion that may be, if you get to those points in your relationship.

5. What His Family Like. LOL, yeah this is important!

6. Past Run-Ins With the Law. You don’t want any major surprises in your marriage.

So, 26 comments later this article sparked a HUGE discussion on Glamour Weddings from financial status to sperm donation readers went back and forth on questions they think you should also know.

But what I want to know is What YOU think you should know before you get engaged and do you agree with this article? You can read the FULL article 6 Things You Absolutely MUST Know About Each Other Before You Get Engaged by going to Glamour Weddings.

This week has been a whirlwind for me. I have received some of the kindest, sincere emails from fellow bloggers, brides, and wedding industry folks. I had a very fun post planned for today, but that will have to wait until next week. I wanted to take the time to thank everyone for all of their support and continued readership of Lucy Dylan Weddings.

If you aren’t following us on Facebook then you might have missed that we’ve hit record numbers this week. I never would have thought my little regional wedding blog would do so well. Thank you to everyone who has let me feature them. This year (so far) has been so much fun and I can’t wait to share every little thing about weddings I can find.

We have some great things in the pipeline, so until then enjoy your weekend!

Its coming, soon…

Here’s a little sneak peak of Dejane and Erik’s South African wedding. Yesterday we sent out a newsletter to people who have been featured, people we would like to feature, and people who just need to know what’s going on. We made a little bit of an announcement in the newsletter. We’ve been working on a little project here at Lucy Dylan Weddings and we’ve officially moved up the deadline.

We can’t wait to make the announcement to everyone very soon, but until then you can enjoy this little sneak peak while we finish up some work on the current project. You’ll be able to see the whole real wedding next week!

Have a great weekend!
