No Rings
One of the numerous Amish traditions is that no rings are worn during the engagement or wedding. If a couple agrees to get engaged, no jewelry is permitted, and this rule also applies to the wedding ceremony. This is just one of a number of peculiar Amish wedding customs.
Secret Engagements
It is customary in Amish cultures to keep engagements hidden from families and the community for months. The majority of couples get engaged in the spring but wait until the summer to tell their families. The news is then kept hidden until the October ceremony.
