Verdict calculated approximately the engagement could be worth 12-18 million pounds in goods sales, whilst auctions of wedding-related items could top 26 million pounds.
The reasonable boost up to the economy, however, could appear from making a "feel-good aspect" among customers that showed subtle this year with the England team's miserable performance in the soccer World Cup.
