"So as you ladies know, Paul proposed to me in Paris, aka a very expensive phone call away from home. I wanted to tell my parents mere seconds after I said yes (once I found out they had no clue I was getting engaged), but did I? Nuh-uh. I was too cheap! Fortunately, Paul popped the question on our last day of vacation after several foiled attempts (first on the Eiffel Tower, then at Versailles, then at the Moulin Rouge, and a couple more times&amp;amp;#8212;I&amp;amp;#8217;ll tell you that long story soon, promise!); we were in a little park beside Notre Dame, killing time between when we had to check out of our hotel and when we had to leave for the airport. Granted, the six-and-a-half-hour flight felt more like 16-and-a-half because I couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t wait to spread the word, but I had a wedding to save for&amp;amp;#8212;I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t going to throw away my dough on delivering a message that could wait half a day. It might have been different if I got engaged halfway through the trip, like my friend Emily did: She called home from Jamaica and even sent out an e-mail to friends to share her news. (I wonder what the girl who might get a mid-flight proposal would do!) Would you call your folks right away, no matter the cost, if your man proposed during a getaway? Was I crazy to hold off on letting my parents know? Or is it kind of fun to have a little secret for the rest of your vacation?
