Engagement quotes are a breed unto themselves. They embody that special transitional time between falling in-love and creating a solid life of love. It’s a very special time! They sum up the wild emotions that come along with this incredibly exciting experience.
Here are a few of my personal favourite engagement quotes. Enjoy!
