When it comes to marriage proposals, most women agree: less is more.
According to David’s Bridal’s “What’s On Brides’ Minds” survey, brides overwhelmingly prefer more personal, low-key proposals to those that are more elaborate. Eighty percent said they would scoff at a public Facebook proposal, and 63 percent wouldn’t want their beau to propose on a Jumbotron. And despite their seeming popularity, 57 percent said they would not appreciate a flash mob proposal.
Regarding the ring: 36 percent of brides said they’d upgrade their engagement ring if they could. The biggest issue? The size of the stone — 19 percent said they wanted a bigger one.
It seems some women are hard to please when it comes to popping the question. A 2011 survey by The Knot and Men’s Health found that 26 percent of women didn’t like the way their fiances proposed, though 96 percent said they loved their engagement rings.
