The Wedding Singer and Cosmo

Follow me on:

In the Broadway musical the Wedding Singer, a character says that according to Cosmo, a woman gets engaged once every five minutes in this country. It set my mind to wondering if this was true. I did some research, and calculated the right answer.

But what do you think - is this figure correct or not? How frequently do couples get engaged in the United States?

The correct answer: According to my calculations, a couple gets engaged about once every minute in the United States! That's a lot of engagement rings!
