- 74% of all brides receive a diamond engagement ring. Of those, 60% are involved in picking out their ring, while 3% actually pick it themselves.
- The average engagement period is 16 months.
It's not surprising that the most popular time of year for engagements is the December to January holiday season, with plenty of proposals occurring over Christmas and New Years.
Your Local Wedding Guide reader, Bianca Tallarida from Campbelltown SA, recently wrote to us, "my fiance Adrian popped the question one minute past midnight on New Years Eve! He even had the perfect ring made for me. He said that he couldn't think of a better way to start the year!"
So what do you do next? It's important that before you start embarking on your special wedding journey and commence your wedding plans, you announce your engagement to your family and friends.
