Question on engagements in Denmark
Engagements in Denmark required legal documents. With research, I have found that in order to end an engagement, they had to have it legally broken. I have run into one where the engagement was legally broken. I have the engagement date and the date is was legally ended. How do I handle it? Do I ignore it or treat it like an annulment? But then if I treat it like an annulment, what do you suggest when one of them dies before the marriage.

I'd put the sources in FamilyTree but I would not link them together as a couple nor would I seal them.

@JanetCarlson1 JanetCarlson1 Just wondering if the couple had a child?

No children. The ones I am seeing is where the man himself is a priest and in order to be assigned to certain parishes, he is required by the Lutheran church to marry either the widow or the daughter of the prior priest. So there are legal documents involved, even more than normally required for regular people getting engaged. Most of the ones I am seeing, just end in death before the actual marriage takes place. But then I ran into one where they didn't die but the engagement was "legally disolved". I have talked to Tanner while I was a CSM there but I knew about the death ones but not one that some court disolved.
