 Romance is
definitely in says Tom Wolfe, Chief Concierge and Engagement
Expert at The Fairmont San Francisco,
who receives three
calls a week from anxious men looking for advice on
wedding proposals. “The trend seems to be
all
about being creative and doing something completely
unique and personalized for the individual”
Special occasions often call for grand gestures, and
proposing marriage is certainly one of those times.
As part of a new programme, Fairmont conducted an informal
survey and found that even in today’s culture,
chivalry is indeed alive and well, especially when it
comes
to something as important as a wedding proposal.
54% of the guests surveyed chose to drop on one knee
when they proposed to their loved ones, and to help
celebrate the engagement, a romantic 59% made sure to
have a favourite bottle of wine or champagne on hand.
Some of the other interesting finds included:
- 45% or most of those surveyed, dated
one to three years before they decided to propose.
- 54% chose to pop the question locally,
while the remainder chose to pop the question on a specially
planned trip.
- 55% believe in love at first sight.
- 59% consulted with friends when planning
the proposal, while 21% planned everything on their
own.
- 54% were confident that their partner
would answer with a resounding “yes,” while
46% were unsure.
