An engagement basically is a conformity or promise to marry, and usually refers to the duration amid marriage and proposal. Through this phase, a couple is said to be affianced, engaged to be married, or just engaged.

It is believed that the notion of an engagement phase may have started in the year 1215 at the Fourth Lateral Council, led by Pope Innocent III, which diktat the "marriages are to be announced publicly in the churches by the priest airing a suitable or fixed time, so that if legitimate impediments exist, they may be made known."

Where as the contemporary Western structure of the practice of giving or swapping engagement rings is conventionally is thought to have started in the year 1477 when Maximilian I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor, presented Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring as an engagement gift.
