engagement ceremony
Pre-wedding commitment ritual
An engagement ceremony is a formal event marking a couple's commitment to marry.
In some cultures, this is a significant ritual with its own traditions, gift exchanges, and family gatherings, distinct from the wedding itself.
In others, it may be a simple announcement or party: The engagement ceremony was held at her parents' home.
