Some customs:


When a guy proposes to a girl and she accepts the families of the couple call a priest to bless the rings. Those rings are the wedding rings that are worn on the left hand till the wedding day that they're moved on the right hand.

It is also tradition that the family of the bride make presents to the groom and the groom's family to present the bride with jewellery and stuff.

Mpoumpounieres are little souvenirs from the wedding. I didn't know they were given in engagements too until recently xD
