The year of love: 8,000 people in Manchester have gotten engaged in the last year
While many have claimed 2016 to have been an unlucky year, it turns out those of us in Manchester haven’t been unlucky in love, as it’s been reported that 8,000 Mancunians got engaged.
The new research comes from Manchester based jewellery retailer, Diamond Heaven, who used Facebook’s Audience Insight to collect the data.
The data was found from looking at how many people with their location set to Manchester, had changed their relationship status to ‘Engaged’. The data was taken from May 2016 to May 2017.
It looks like we’ve been all loved up here in the North as it found that 7,000 to 8,000 people in Manchester got engaged during this time.

What tips do you have for brides who want to do their own make-up for their big day?
It's imperative to get your skin glowing for the big day well in advance. It's not all about the makeup, preparation is key. Drinking lots of water, eating healthily and having facials way in advance are the golden key as you approach your wedding day.
Make sure you drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from within. Book a course of facials in advance but be aware, facials can bring out the impurities in your skin causing spots/pimples or blemishes as it rids itself of toxins and unwanted impurities that's why it's imperative to have a facial at least once a month in the run up to your wedding day. Treat yourself to your last facial at least a week before your big day and prior to a spray tan.
