Engagements Are Secret
It is quite normal for engagements to be kept secret. Engaged couples will typically wait to tell their families that they are engaged until July or August, and then the families will keep the news private until October, when it is wedding season. Then, they’ll share the news at a church service.
Wedding Attire
Usually, an Amish bride will wear a blue linen dress for her wedding, and the dress will actually be worn again afterwards during other formal occasions. As the Ornung forbids jewelry, as mentioned, rings are not worn. Weddings usually take place on Tuesdays or Thursdays in November to early December.
