Wedding Engagements

In some Orthodox Christian, Roman Catholic and Protestant countries such as Bulgaria, Russia, Greece, Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Venezuela, and India, the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of the right hand.

In other countries, such as Ireland, Sweden, Italy, Slovenia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Mexico, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the USA and the UK, it is generally worn on the ring finger of the left hand, although right hand wearing is becoming more common. In Brazil, the ring is worn on the right hand until the actual wedding day, when it's exchanged to the left hand.

The ring is more noticeable on the right hand due to the traditional shaking of right hands in greeting; however it may be better protected from wear in the majority right-handed wearers by being on the left.

Several traditions exist in traditional Jewish wedding ceremonies: most commonly today, the ring is placed on the index finger; but other traditions record placing it on the middle finger or the thumb.Today the ring usually is moved to the ring finger after the ceremony. Some Jewish grooms have adopted wearing a wedding ring.

A wedding ring is not a traditional part of the religious Muslim wedding; wedding rings are not included in most Islamic countries. However, if a wedding ring is worn in an Islamic country, it may be worn on either the left (such is the custom in Iran) or the right ring finger. As opposed to the wedding ring, use of a ring to denote betrothal or engagement is quite prevalent in Muslim countries, especially those in West and South Asia.

Rings are not traditional in an Indian wedding. However, in modern society it is becoming a practice to wear rings for engagements and not for actual marriage. Though the left hand is considered inauspicious for religious activities, a ring (not to be called wedding ring) is still worn on the left hand. Men generally wear the rings on the right hand and the women on the left hands.

In Sinhala and Tamil culture, the groom wears the wedding ring on his right hand and bride wears it on her left hand ring finger. This can be seen in countries like Sri Lanka where there is a richS inhala and Tamil cultural influence in the society.

No. It is just a commitment to get married. Filling out papers only happens for marriage.

An informal engagement is one in which the boy and the girl make each other wear the rings and accept each other to be engaged without holding a formal ceremony.

Pure love and understanding.

• To get married without parents consent is 18 in most States in the United States as 18 is no longer a minor.

• No, teens under the age of 18 are minors and cannot be married secretly because a marriage certificate has to be filed with Vital Statistics. If the teens lie about their age and the person marrying them does not bother to check for proper ID, then the marriage can be annulled by the parents.

There are many magical places in Disneyland. Pick her favorite place ( with a few questions you can find this out) and have one of the Disney characters deliver flowers to her ( call them to arrange it). Frankly, I would do this at night because Disneyland is magical at night with the little lights in the trees. In front of the castle would also be a good place to propose.

It is not a bad thing to wear it but it is not good luck either. It's OK to wear.

• Once the young man gives the ring to his fiance then it is hers to keep whether they go through with the marriage or not. However, if it is a family heirloom it would be kinder to give it back to the young man in question.

More than 25% of people get engaged during the winter holiday season (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah), beyond that it is relatively random but affected by personal events, family traditions, and local holidays.

In most cultures you can. (mostly Western cultures). In some countries religion and social rules dictate that the parents are a marriage for their children, so you can't just choose who you want to marry. (You could be shunned from your family and community. It's viewed as a sign of disrespect and against their social rules.) A culture like this would be found for example in Middle-Eastern countries.

• Yes, it is quite common for a man of any age to tell a best friend or his parents that he is going to propose to the love of his life.

Yes, I think so. Just don't try to pass them off as gold and real diamonds; that would be untruthful and not a good way to start a serious relationship.

• Going steady is when you are only steady dating with a girlfriend or boyfriend and no commitment to get engaged or married. An engagement is a vow that the two people will be getting married. Either way both partners should be honest and loyal to each other.

• The time of day or evening for a bridal shower is not relevant to the gift. Since the bridal shower starts at 10 PM then you could consider giving the bride to be some nice lingerie.

• Most young men propose to their girlfriend alone; be some young men may prefer to ask the woman he loves to marry him in front of friends (perhaps at a party) or setting up a party to propose to her and then celebrate. Generally the most popular is for a young man to take his girlfriend to a nice restaurant and propose to her or other places that are romantic.

• Some people can be engaged for a very short time to a few years before they marry. The traditional waiting period is approximately a year.

• No, a notary cannot marry you whether they are close to you or not. You can be married by a Minister/Priest or Justice of the Peace.

• It is sad when a young woman's fiance has passed away. She went by her surname (last name) and did not get married and take his name so she would still be called by her original name. Example: Jane Doe and John Smith. Because they were not married she should be called Jane Doe.

NO, its the human society and the interpersonal relationship.

there is no relation to religion.

hi. um, actually, that is WRONG. also, just an opinion. God can match people for marriage, He has plans for you before you're even born. He knows the number of every hair on your head. He knows what you want before you even ask. And if you ask God to put someone special in your life, and really believe that He will, then if it's His will for your life... He'll do it. :)

• When all guests have arrived and the couple who is is seated at a special table this is the time for any toasts anyone may give. Generally the person putting the engagement party on for the couple will clink their glass and say 'I would like to make a toast to _______________.' If it's informal the engagement party is at the host's home then let everyone welcome the engaged couple and after about an hour when people are more settled clink the host/hostess should clink their glass with a fork or spoon and toast the young couple. Do not leave toasting to the end of the party as some people may have to leave early, or, some people may have had too much to drink and guests are too scatter. You want their full attention to honor the young couple that are engaged.
  

An engaged man has a fiancée. A engaged woman has a fiancé.
