英語博客-北美風情 174、Getting engaged
In honour of Hasan’s recent proposal to Gulustan, he asked us to do an episode all about getting engaged. What a romantic idea!
In this episode, Harp and Maura chat about some of the traditions, activities, and vocabulary associated with getting engaged, and about some of what happens during the engagement period. In Canada, there’s a lot of variation in how people get engaged, but there are definitely some classic, traditional aspects.
Thanks again for the great episode suggestion, Hasan. Let us know when you’re ready to hear an episode about weddings!
Maura: So, first, we’re gonna talk about how people propose. So, you have a couple, they’ve been dating for a while, and then they want to get married.
Harp: Yeah. And I would say it’s usually at least one year that they’re together.
Maura: Yeah, I would say that too. Sometimes I’ve even heard of people proposing on their one-year anniversary.
Harp: Yeah. There’s no set time that people are together before they propose or before they get engaged.
Maura: So, there’s been a couple that’s been dating for a long time and one person asks the other to get married, so one person proposes. And after the proposal, and once the other person, of course, agrees, they are engaged. So that’s the period of time after the marriage proposal and before the wedding.
