More than 1.8 million Brits are hoping their partner will get down on one knee to propose on Valentine's day , as revealed by new research from jewellery insurance provider Protect Your Bubble.
Although an overwhelming 72% of Brits agree that Valentine’s Day has become far too commercial, this certainly hasn’t stopped them from reaching into their pocket for cards and pricey gifts.
It may not have been the setting for Pretty Woman or Maid in Manhattan, but in recent years Rotherham’s largest independent hotel has proved to be the star of its own romantic blockbuster, with 17 members of staff meeting their perfect partner whilst working at the popular three star hotel.
Carlton Park Hotel has been shooting Cupid’s arrow since it first opened its doors in 1981 and hosts more than 80 weddings each year. But it’s behind the scenes where true love has blossomed and fairy tale matches have been made with many of its staff falling for its charms; meeting and eventually marrying ‘The One’ within the walls of the hotel.
7 years ago my husband proposed to me. I remember the proposal, on Valentine's Day after a chicken curry. He didn't propose with a ring but a necklace and my engagement ring was a ring he had previously bought for my birthday.
We both knew we didn't want a long engagement, we also knew that we wanted a small wedding ceremony with our family, followed by a larger evening reception for our friends and extended family. Finding a venue however proved to be rather tricky.
