The Ring and the Party

Many argue that women get engaged mainly to get the engagement ring. How can you blame them? After all it’s a symbol of unity with another person and is the most precious possession until the wedding ring and of course the bridal gown are bought.

In the past it was generally the man who bought the ring and presented it to his wife-to-be on bended knee. Nowadays choosing the engagement ring is a responsibility shared by a couple.

Later it’s up to the husband-to-be to present the ring in the most original or romantic way.

The ring is a symbol, chosen either for the quality of the design or for a sentimental reason.

The next step is the engagement party. Even here people have different ideas and different priorities. Nowadays many prefer not to hold an engagement party, although they might organise a small gathering with close family members and friends. Not holding a party or reception is usually linked to the financial aspect, as many would prefer spending more on the wedding or the house. Others go the traditional way and hold parties, which may actually seem a mini-wedding reception.

An engagement is a temporary stage marking the end of one stage in life and the beginning of a new one. It sets the stage for when two become one.
