1. Why does the groom-to-be use a diamond engagement ring to show his unwavering love to his beloved?
- This tradition began in the 15th century when Archduke Maximilian of Austria made a vow of eternal love to Mary of Burgundy with a diamond ring. His trusted official submitted a document stating: "Your Highness, you must give a ring set with diamonds when getting engaged." Maximilian followed this advice. This ceremony has been passed down for centuries since then.
