They do when the announcement says they will bear a child and there's been no sex!

The announcement refers to the future and the marriage, and presumably its consummation are in the future. The natural dialog would have gone like this:

- You will be with Child and He will be called the son of the Most High
- Great! I can't wait to tell my fiancee Joseph!

The announcement refers to a pregnancy right then, not in the future. Note she became pregnant and was known to be pregnant before they were married!
