There are two main ways of saying that engagement and marriage are not arranged every other year. One is that in some regions, there is a custom of "not considering marriage every other year", so couples who follow this saying will complete their engagement and marriage within one year. The second reason is that completing the engagement and wedding ceremony within one year can give advance notice to one's family and guests, and at the same time, the time within one year is enough for the couple to prepare for the wedding.
Why get married after getting engaged
1. Engagement is a ceremony that gives both families a sense of ceremony
Many times, engagement is a ceremony and form. Before obtaining the certificate, both parents need to discuss the matter of marriage. So engagement is when both parents reach an agreement, and the engaged couple feels a sense of security because they have the support of their parents.
2. The custom of engagement has existed since ancient times
Engagement has long been a social ritual, with specialized engagement ceremonies dating back to ancient times. In modern times, on the day of engagement, the bride hosts a banquet with her relatives and friends, as well as the groom's relatives and friends who attend the ceremony, to inform the public that the couple has a sense of belonging and is preparing to enter the stage of marriage.
The traditional engagement ceremony is called "including accepting, accepting, and writing", but in modern times it is often simplified to only retaining "accepting" (giving dowries). After being legally engaged, there may not necessarily be a legal kinship relationship. Both parties must wait for their formal marriage before they can enjoy the legal qualification and status of spouses.
3. The significance of engagement for newlyweds
In fact, engagement is a buffer for the newlyweds and their relatives and friends. During the period from engagement to marriage, various trivial matters will also test the newlyweds, and once they step forward, their relationship will become more secure. Of course, engagement can also tell people around you that you are getting married.
