No it isn't. I can't remember my husband engaging me with a ring before me got married.

But did your husband propose or at least ask you to be his wife?

Was there a demarcation moment between girlfriend and wife?

The purpose of dating Is to know each mother more before marriage.

The purpose of dating is to get to know whether you should get married based on who you both are and whether you are compatible for the long haul. Otherwise we would all marry our first dates or boyfriend/girlfriend then.

The demarcation moment was when he asked to see my parents

That is basically a proposal of sorts then. He was asking your parents for your hand in marriage when he met with them. I'm sure your parents also asked your opinion, which would be when you accepted the proposal?

He didn't propose by asking her to marry him. Although, how they came about planning a wedding then, I don't know.
