No Rings
One of the many Amish social norms is that engagement and wedding rings are not worn. No jewelry may be worn during the wedding ceremony if a couple chooses to get engaged. As far as Amish wedding traditions go, this is one of the more outlandish.
Secret Engagements
In Amish communities, engagements can be kept a secret for months before they are made public. Couples who get engaged in the spring often wait to tell their families about it until the summer. The family has decided to keep the news under wraps until the wedding in October.
