After the engagement, what is next? If you are routing for a Catholic Church wedding, it will not be that simple. This is a challenge for both parties. Now I know, those couple who are suddenly went cold feet or felt impatient with everything with the preparation of the wedding, because only people who are willing to sacrifice goes to the altar. So couples, I suggest to be patient and helpful on every needs of each other.  Haha
