Me and my boyfriend (now Fiance) got engaged earlier this week, planning to have wedding later this year/early next of possible and were waiting to see my family at the weekend to announce this in person.
Yesterday, by coincidence, my brother also proposed to his gf and announced it to everyone straight away by telephone and said they are hoping to plan it for late next year.
Now I am going to feel a little silly announcing our engagement and saying we did it earlier in the week, it sounds like I'm saying "we did it first, ner ner", also we wanted ours this year/early next year and theirs would be late next year, and I don't want people to think we are getting ours in first like it's a competition.
I know most people will say, do what you want and don't worry what other people will think but this still feels quite an awkward situation.
But is there a nice way I can announce it without sounding competitive? (Which I am not being, I just don't want to steal their limelight)
