mazal tov zeeskite! but i have one question: becoming a kallah? i always wonder why ppl know these things before they actually happen. one of my friends from hs was getting engaged (and i did not know about it). all of the girls in the high school that we went to (a couple of yrs earlier) knew already. cuz someone accidentally heard, and thought it had happened, and spread the news…. meanwhile, my friend had no idea this was going on until another one of our classmates went over to her and wished her mazal tov. my friend was really shocked that ppl knew, and was kind of upset cuz it wasn’t gonna be official until the next night. well, B”H, in the end of course, everything happened in just the right time and it was a very joyous simcha, but why do ppl tell others when they “are going to get engaged”? what if ch’v something happens at the last minute and its broken off? i don’t mean to reprimand you zeeskite- i wish your friends daughter all the best! this issue is just something that bothers me in general- cuz more than once i’ve heard that “someone is getting engaged, but i’m not supposed to say cuz its not official…” really bothers me!
