Wedding forerunner

I believe the answer is:

engagement

(Other definitions for engagement that I've seen before include "pledge between 11 & 6 [WILLIAM & KATE]" , "Commitment to marriage" , "publicized by a band" , "calls for signs of commitment" , "before wedding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
