Secret Engagements
It’s normal for those in the Amish community to keep their engagements private. Couples generally wait until August or July to tell their families they are engaged, and the family must stay quiet until October for the wedding season.

The Amish bride often wears a blue linen dress that is worn for other formal occasions in the future. They aren’t given a ring because the Ordnung forbids them to wear jewelry. Typically, weddings happen on Tuesdays or Thursdays from October through December.
