engaged couple

Planning a wedding

An engaged couple is two people who have agreed to marry each other but haven't yet done so.

The engagement period typically involves wedding planning and may last from weeks to years: The engaged couple set a date for next June.

The term emphasizes the formal commitment that distinguishes them from couples who are merely dating.
