You gotta be careful, though. It really depends on the mix of the people involved. No matter how you slice it, Daddy knows Baby is getting proposed to before Baby does.

How does that sit with Baby? FWIW, "engagement rings" are a 100-year-old invention created by DeBeers as a convenient way of monetizing the decline of the "bride price."

a lengthy treatise from the past.
