One in four women in UK hated their husband’s marriage proposal
March 17th, 2011 - 2:58 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 17 (ANI): A new survey has revealed that one in four women in Britain hated the way their husband proposed.
The poll of 3,000 men and women on The Knot and Men’s Health websites showed that 26 percent of brides-to-be said that they wished the moment had been more romantic, original or personal, the Daily Mail reported.
Others would have preferred it to be more private or complained that it was too over-the-top, and a third said that the biggest blunder was proposing without a ring.
The survey revealed that 3 quarters of male respondents said that they planned the entire proposal without any help, and half admitted that they would never share their plan to propose before the moment itself.
A large number even shun help when it comes to choosing the ring, with 30 percent admitting that they refused to bring a second opinion to the jeweller.
The survey also revealed that tradition was important to both sexes. Six in ten of all respondents felt it was important for a man to ask his girlfriend’s parents for her hand in marriage.
But while 76 percent of men said it was essential to propose on one knee, just 49 percent of women felt the same way. (ANI)
