In my experience, life events are one of the few things that do show up.

I got "engaged" to a girl for a laugh a while back. Everyone saw it, it had almost 200 likes before I took it down. It was really awkward to explain to my grandma that no, I'm not actually getting married and it was all a joke.

Yea but you chose the topmost event that would trigger their algorithm to showcase you for. If a friend of yours got engaged and you weren't notified because of the algorithm people would complain so they probably give marriage/engagements the highest priority.
