Engagement rituals

Engagement rituals are structured social activities or ceremonies that signify a couple’s commitment to marry. These rituals often involve symbolic actions, such as exchanging rings or performing traditional ceremonies, to publicly affirm the partnership. They serve to formalize the relationship, involve family and community, and mark a significant milestone before marriage. Engagement rituals vary across cultures but generally aim to celebrate, legitimize, and solidify the couple’s intent to unite, fostering social acknowledgment and support for their future life together.
