I got really excited last week, because I thought I made up a word: “pre-ancé.” It turns out, this word was already out there. I had never heard it, so I thought I would post about it anyway. Your “pre-ancé” (or “pre-ancée”) is the person you are pre-engaged to. You know it’s going to happen soon, but you’re in that in-between, ring-less phase. It’s a very handy word and describes a relational state that most people find themselves in at least for a while before they’re engaged. I have a friend who helped her man pick out the ring, but they aren’t getting married until she graduates two years from now. So, they’re waiting to get engaged until closer to when they actually want to get married. It makes a lot of sense. However, he’s not just her boyfriend anymore, he definitely qualifies as a pre-ancé.
