The rings can be made of silver, gold and nowadays also have diamonds. Traditionally silver bands were exchanged. The engagement ring is worn in the fourth finger of the left hand. The reason for this is the presence of a vein in that finger which goes straight to the heart.
Usually the marriage proposal takes place in a formal way with the man sitting on one knee and asking the question “will you marry me?” formally. Only after the answer to this question is given in the affirmative does the man present the ring to the woman. This agreement to get married is in a way, sealed in by the exchange of the rings between the couple. The day of this occasion is celebrated by the families of both and also close relatives and friends in the form of a party usually. However, some people may want to keep it simple too.
After the engagement, the couple is called each other’s fiancé and due to get married in a time of six months to a year. Wedding engagement is a very special occasion in everybody’s life. This is a time when they decide as to who they are going to spend their life with.
