How are wedding-related activities such as proposals, engagement ceremonies, and ring exchanges described in English?

In English, "propose" is used to propose: She broke into tears when her boyfriend proposed (She burst into tears when her boyfriend proposed to her).

Another way to say it is "pop the question": When they were strolling on the beach, the man suddenly got down on his knees and popped the question to the woman.

Engagement is "engage" or "get engaged". The engagement ceremony is called the "engagement ceremony". The traditional Vietnamese engagement ceremony can also be referred to by this term. The wedding ceremony, or marriage ceremony, is called "wedding".

Many people know that marriage is "marry" or "get married," but English has another common idiom for this: "tie the knot." This idiom originates from an ancient Celtic custom where couples had their hands tied together with a piece of cloth on their wedding day. Today, the phrase is used to refer to marriage.

Example: The famous supermodel finally tied the knot with her boyfriend at the age of 40.

The phrase "go/walk down the aisle" literally means to walk down the aisle between the rows of seats, but figuratively it also means to have a wedding ceremony: Her eldest daughter will walk down the aisle this month (Her eldest daughter will get married this month).

The bride is the "bride" and the groom is the "groom". In Western weddings, the bride and groom exchange vows, known as "vows". The ring exchange ceremony is called "exchange the rings": The bride and the groom made their vows before exchanging the rings.

The ring finger—the finger worn with a wedding ring in many cultures—is called the "ring finger".

In Western weddings, after the reception ends, the bride tosses her wedding bouquet for someone to catch. This action is called "toss the bouquet": All the ladies gathered behind the bride, waiting for her to toss the bouquet.

Finally, many places often set off confetti cannons at weddings. These are not "firework" but "confetti".
