The Wedding Singer and Cosmo
Wednesday May 17, 2006
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?
