The alternative to getting engaged before marriage would be to wake up one morning and find (POOF!) you had a spouse. Most societies have a period before marriage where the two parties, either the couple themselves or their relatives, agree that they will marry and initiate whatever legal or cultural events are required. Buddhists are no different. Whether they follow the North American process of engagement rings, showers, and so on depends on their cultural (as opposed to religious or philosophical) customs.
