    You could be excited but anxious. Sad about the end of your single life and afraid about the next steps in your life.<\/p>\n

    You could be so over the moon it’s all you talk about. All normal.<\/strong> However you may be feeling, rest assured there will be many many others that have felt the same way.<\/p>\n

    How Long After Engagement Should You Marry?<\/h3>\n

    There are no hard and fast rules about how long an engagement should last. It really depends on your circumstances and what you both want<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    A short engagement is exciting and can be a real whirlwind. Perhaps you just want to be married? Alternatively, you may want to really relish this moment, take your time or save up to ensure you craft the day of your dreams.<\/p>\n

    When You Are Engaged What Are You Called?<\/h3>\n

    Traditionally, a woman is called a fianc\u00e9e<\/strong> if she is engaged and a man is called a fianc\u00e9<\/strong>. They sound the same but have different spellings.
    \n<\/em><\/p>\n

    If you feel uncomfortable with these labels or they don’t suit you or your relationship, ditch them. You can still refer to your partner however you wish when you are newly engaged. In fact, you may prefer to not declare every time you reference your partner that you are engaged to be married. You do what’s right for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Which Finger Do You Wear Your Engagement Ring On?<\/h3>\n

    To be honest, you can wear your engagement ring on any finger you like<\/strong>. Don’t feel like you have to play to any particular rules. Many cultures and countries have different engagement jewellery and ring traditions. If you don’t want an engagement ring, that’s totally fine too.<\/p>\n

    However, traditionally in the UK, newly engaged couples wear their engagement rings on the finger next to their pinkie on their left hand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
