Even if you could barely get a word out, you managed to somehow pull yourself together enough to say "yes," before sharing the excitement with all your family and friends.

But before you can both finally say "I do," there are lots of other questions that will come up during your wedding planning process. Do you want a big wedding? Do you want it in a place of worship? Who will be the best man? Will there be a honeymoon?
