“[When their engagement was announced, the queen and her husband, Prince Philip, issued a statement saying they were] very happy ... warmest good wishes for their future together.”
Camilla Parker Bowles
“Pardon me, you are not engaged to any one. When you do become engaged to some one, I, or your father, should his health permit him, will inform you of the fact. An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant, as the case may be. It is hardly a matter that she could be allowed to arrange for herself.”
Oscar Wilde
“When David [Arquette] and I got engaged we started therapy together. I'd heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest, so we decided to work through all that stuff early.”
Courteney Cox

“I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.”
Winona Ryder
“No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage, which they will climb incontinent, or else be incontinent before marriage.”
William Shakespere
“My instinct is to keep my engagement ring - After all, I wouldn't like to see it on the finger of a cheeky girl.”
Sian Lloyd
