In the UK, there is no formal and binding agreement for engagement to get married. It is usually just by word of mouth between two people who state that they both wish to enter into marriage at some later date. The man would typically give the woman an engagement ring to signify his true intention. Sometimes the announcement may be made in a newspaper and be described as an 'official engagement'. This same term may also be used when the announcement is made in a more formal setting.

The couple cancelled their engagement and decided not to get married.
That is a very expensive engagement ring.

The definition of become is begin to be. Became is the past verb of become. Become and became are more formal versions of verbs like got. For example, you could say "My friend got engaged recently." but that is more casual language. To sound more professional, I would use the very become. "My friend has just become engaged." It sounds very professional.
