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.
