Absolutely not. It's like saying "OMG! You actually found someone to marry you" You say "best wishes" to the bride.
Better to say "Best wishes for you both" or "Wishing you every happiness.".
"Best of luck" kind of implies "good luck, you're gonna need it with this guy...."
Yes!
You can send a card to the couple, a present or gift voucher, flowers to the lucky lady perhaps??? or a request on the local radio for the couple is another nice thought. When I got engaged, a congratulatory phone call or visit from a friend meant just as much as a card or present... It is improper to "congratulate" someone on their recent engagement. By saying, "Congratulations!", you are inferring you thought they might never find a mate and are therefore insulting them. When someone announces their engagement, you might want to say, "That's great!", "I'm so happy for you!", "You both make such a wonderful couple!", or "That's wonderful news!".
No, you say Happy Birthday to someone to congratulate them on their birthday. You say Happy Anniversary to a couple who are celebrating their anniversary together.
Wedding is the place where a couple announce publicly their love and commitment to other people and a place people congratulate the newly wedded couple.
It means nothing good. When an ex wants to take you to dinner to congratulate you on your engagement. He or she wants to make sure you are engaged and committed. Accepting a dinner invitation without your betrothed assures him/her that you are not really committed. Best case, he/she wants to be your fling when you get cold feet.
Engaged is a verb (past tense of engage) and an adjective (an engaged couple).
No. They are not engaged. That was a rumor they are still a couple
* Congratulate her and wish her the best in the future. Ask when they are planning to have the wedding if you are truly interested.
Britney Spears is currently engaged to Jason Trawick. The couple engaged in December 2011.
He's engaged?!
No it's rude to ask an engaged or young married couple if they plan to have children because that is their private business.
Yes, Jason Trawick and Britney Spears are engaged. The couple engaged in December 2011.
Usually the bride's parents will phone the groom's parents and the six of you would get together for either dinner at the bride's parent's home or, go out to a restaurant.
