Is it ok for my brother and fiancé to announce their engagement less than one week before my wedding?
I just found out from my parents that my brother proposed. They asked that she does not wear the ring to my wedding and then the day after they can have brunch with the rest of the family and announce their engagement. However, my brother’s fiancé told my brother is she takes the ring off she wont put it back on. Any thoughts?

Dear Brinde2b,
There really is no reason for them to keep mum about their engagement. A wedding is a time for family to celebrate new additions to their respective families. So, why not include this in the celebration.
Honestly, I can understand if she felt a bit insulted--as if she is supposed to hide her engagement. It really is not 'stealing any of your thunder', which is probably what your fiance's parents felt some may think. It is just another situation to celebrate.

I agree with Rebecca. The more happy occasions to celebrate these days the better. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
