Why do people get engaged?

Getting engaged to someone is committing your life to them. You are showing your commitment to planning your wedding, and then planning out your new life with them. You’ll have bigger conversations with your partner – asking them where they see themselves, and their hopes and dreams to achieve. You’ll have someone in your corner to help you with those goals and aspirations. People change over their lifetime, so you have to be prepared to take on whoever your partner becomes. When you say “yes” you are saying yes to who your partner evolves to over the years. In order to get married, you do need to “get engaged” first. You don’t need to get engaged with a ring per say. To get married, you need to plan ahead. You’ll need a minister or an officiant and a marriage license to commit to each other and get married officially.
