Almost a year after his initial proposal on The Bachelorette, Jordan Rodgers proposed to JoJo Fletcher all over again. The celebrity news was revealed on Rodgers’ Instagram on Saturday, featuring a photo of the couple showing off Fletcher’s new rock. The caption went on to explain that their first proposal for the show was real and meant the world to both of them. However, as they began planning their wedding, they wanted to do it their own way, in private. Cue proposal number two!
Perhaps there will be a celebrity wedding on the horizon finally for this Bachelorette couple. What are some ways to make your partner feel special during a long engagement?
Cupid’s Advice:
Wedding bells are in your future, but the road to the chapel is a long one. Fear not! Long engagements are challenging, but there are ways to reassure your partner and reaffirm your love during the process.:
1. Remember the date: Commit to small gestures that remind your partner you are excited for your nuptials, however far down the line they may be. Write the date with doodled hearts on your fridge’s whiteboard, or leave your partner a sticky note reading “one year to go!” However you remind your significant other of your excitement, make it a fun, any day surprise.

2. Keep the romance going: Wedding planning can throw your brain into overdrive. While the details may be tempting to take over your life (and all your conversations), share a world with your partner outside of your wedding. Find a balance between excitement for your wedding and commitment to your love life by scheduling date nights where wedding talk is off the table.
3. Take small steps: Do not let your engagement drag without any planning whatsoever. Even if your wedding is set years down the line, make yourself a schedule. Try to settle at least one detail a month so that both you and your partner feel you’re moving forward.
