Cultural Note
Compromiso carries dual meaning — both 'engagement' (to be married) and 'commitment' in general. In Hispanic culture, the engagement is often celebrated with a formal dinner where both families come together. The phrase 'anillo de compromiso' (engagement ring) marks the beginning of wedding preparations, which are often elaborate family affairs.
