No Rings
The wearing of no rings during the engagement or wedding is one of several Amish traditions. No jewelry is allowed if a couple complies to get engaged, and this policy also relates to the wedding ceremony. This is just one of many strange Amish wedding traditions.
Secret Engagements
In Amish cultures, keeping engagements hidden from families and the community for months is a common practice. In the autumn, most couples get engaged, but they don’t tell their families until the summer. The family then keeps the news private until the ceremony in October.
