Getting engaged is one of the most exciting times in your life (obviously). Not so obvious? All of the moments between saying “yes” to the proposal and saying “I do” on your wedding day that are also cause for celebration. Toast to those events, big and small, with a glass of bubbly and these GIFs.
1. When you tell your best friend that you just got engaged.
2. When your parents agree to help with the budget. Ka-ching.

3. When the search for your dream dress comes to a successful end.
4. When your BFF who moved all the way to Mozambique accepts your bridesmaid proposal.
5. When that last vendor contract is signed.
6. When there’s a pause in the planning and you have a moment to take in that, yes, you’re really getting married!

7. When the invitations are finally in the mail. USPS, the rest is up to you.
8. When you ace your last first-dance practice run.
9. When you finally figure out the seating chart—including where to put that awkward second cousin of yours.
10. When it’s finally time to kick off your bachelorette party. Bubbly sisters, forever.
11. When your thank-you toast is seriously the best thing any human has ever written.
