The Lincoln Parish Journal is publishing engagement announcements for couples who reside in the parish, who have relatives in the parish or who are getting married in the parish. Students who are enrolled at Louisiana Tech or Grambling State but who do not live in the parish will also be able to submit. These announcements will be published Monday and Thursday. 

This move by the Journal allows couples to showcase their announcement on social media outlets. 

“This is a fabulous way for couples to have a traditional engagement announcements and reap the benefits of the digital age by posting it on social media,” said Judith Roberts, publisher of the Journal. “As the Journal continues to expand and increase its reach in the community, this will allow more people to see your happy announcement.”

• Digital photograph of the couple 

• The couple’s names 

• The couple’s hometowns 

• High school and/or college of the couple 

• Parents’ names and/or grandparents’ names 

• Ties to the parish 

• Wedding time, date, and place 

• An interesting fact about the couple
