I have heard the news of your engagement and hasten to congratulate you. That is great news about you and Peter! He is a great man in every way, and I congratulate you on your good fortune. I hope you will have nothing but joy and happiness in your life.
@ziawj2,
I congratulate you on your engagement to Peter. He is a wonderful man in every way. I wish you joy and happiness in your life together.
@ziawj2,
It is correct protocol to congratulate the man, and offer the woman best wishes for the future.
@cherrie,
That was once the case but no longer holds true. From a protocol authority:
And yes, it’s okay to say “congratulations” to a bride nowadays.
