About to propose, Facebook can fuck off?
Would you be offended if you were asked (nicely!) to keep such a major life announcement off Facebook? I don't hate Facebook, but I do hate how impersonal it is. I literally can't stand the idea that friends on both sides would find out about the happiest moment of our lives on a "social media" service, doubly so for our closest friends and family...Or do I need to be dragged into the modern age?

What my SO and I did: Tell close friends and family by phone, then "announce" on FB so all the distant friends and family can learn about it.
I wouldn't marry someone who'd announce it on Facebook. It'd be like if you leaned in for your first kiss, and they said, "Wait, let me Instagram this".
Lots of people we know do that / say that to people. A friend called me just last week telling me his wife was pregnant and to stay off of Facebook until they told everyone.
Most people comply - those that don't - get defriended.
