Why is there "d" on "engage"

Hi there, why is there "d" on "engage?" I don't see any "to be" in the sentence.

Tom and Kate get engaged.

Works the same as "married," but in this context we don't use "engage" in the simple present - except when we engage the minister.

I assume you are talking about a past event.

Tom and Kate got engaged.
Tom and Kate got married.

get, got, gotten, getting is often followed by a past participle.

My hand got caught in the door.
Sally got paid yesterday.
Jake is getting promoted to a new job.

You can say, "In the second chapter, Tom and Kate get engaged. In the fourth chapter, Tom and Kate get married."
