You can send a card to the couple, a present or gift voucher, flowers to the lucky lady perhaps??? or a request on the local radio for the couple is another nice thought. When I got engaged, a congratulatory phone call or visit from a friend meant just as much as a card or present... It is improper to "congratulate" someone on their recent engagement. By saying, "Congratulations!", you are inferring you thought they might never find a mate and are therefore insulting them. When someone announces their engagement, you might want to say, "That's great!", "I'm so happy for you!", "You both make such a wonderful couple!", or "That's wonderful news!".
No, you say Happy Birthday to someone to congratulate them on their birthday. You say Happy Anniversary to a couple who are celebrating their anniversary together.
Wedding is the place where a couple announce publicly their love and commitment to other people and a place people congratulate the newly wedded couple.
It means nothing good. When an ex wants to take you to dinner to congratulate you on your engagement. He or she wants to make sure you are engaged and committed. Accepting a dinner invitation without your betrothed assures him/her that you are not really committed. Best case, he/she wants to be your fling when you get cold feet.
Engaged is a verb (past tense of engage) and an adjective (an engaged couple).
* Congratulate her and wish her the best in the future. Ask when they are planning to have the wedding if you are truly interested.
No. They are not engaged. That was a rumor they are still a couple
Britney Spears is currently engaged to Jason Trawick. The couple engaged in December 2011.
No it's rude to ask an engaged or young married couple if they plan to have children because that is their private business.
Usually the bride's parents will phone the groom's parents and the six of you would get together for either dinner at the bride's parent's home or, go out to a restaurant.
Yes, Jason Trawick and Britney Spears are engaged. The couple engaged in December 2011.
As a couple you can arrange a dinner for the parents so that they can meet. Perhaps one set of parents or the other is a good place to start making plans. In any case, it will help if you are both comfortable with the result. If you need a neutral meeting place, set up a dinner or lunch at a nice restaurant. As you can see, there are several ways to go on this. What is right is something that the couple needs to figure out, considering the comfort level of the parents, so it is a pleasant event. Doesn't matter. Get talking!
