Asslamualaikum wrt wbk, everyone. Let me show you how Xi'an Chinese Muslim get engagement nowadays in a traditional way.
Xi'an is in Shaanxi, China. When the Arabic came into China since Tang Dynasty that Xi'an was called Chang'an at that time, they brought Islam and muslim traditional custom to ancient China. Since then, some Arabs stayed in Chang'an and made Islam in China brighter and brighter. Xi'an muslim have their own way to combine the old custom and modern habbits.
On the day young people get engagement, the boy's parents would ask Imam to go to girl's house and ask their permission to allow their daughter to marry/engaged with the boy. Shaking hands from both side elders is one of customs must done. Then both side would invite imams to recite The Quran and pray in their house or specific restaurant. After that, they would change their presents and the boy will bring the girl from her family to his family so that their relatives will know they get engagement.
Alhamudullillia! That day was a big day. And here's my own engagement short video to memory and show you how we do this in Xi'an, China.
