Engagements Must Be Approved First
In the Amish community, couples cannot just up and decide to get married themselves. Though, it does not generally take very long for a couple to become engaged once they start dating. Once a man proposes, both man and woman must get the engagement approved by the Amish church. After the church blesses the couple, they can marry and their wedding announcement gets posted in the town newsletter.
