If marrying in a restaurant can be very expensive, especially if you have many guests, engaged in a restaurant will be much more affordable however.
For the wedding, you will definitely opt for a white dress, but for the engagement, you will have carte blanche: cocktail dress, fancy, color, everything will be allowed.
