Must engagement and marriage be in the same year?

Engagement and marriage can take place every other year. Traditionally, there is a saying that it is good to get married every other year, which means that you are engaged in 1 year and can't get married directly in the next year. Because auspicious days are not easy to choose, the older generation is convinced of these customs and traditions, so I hope that young people can complete the process of engagement and marriage within one year. In fact, the interval between engagement and marriage is not very clear. However, in our daily life, the interval between engagement and marriage for most people is about six months to one year. In fact, you don't have to pay too much attention to the statement that engagement and marriage must be completed within one year. You can start planning your own wedding preparations and give yourself the most perfect wedding.
