Diamond Rules Of Engagement
A recent study conducted by the Knot surveyed 1,500 brides to discover what they would consider to be the perfect proposal. The results show that some old traditions are begining to change.
1. Center Stone Size
Sixty percent of women value the diamond size as either most important or equally imortant to diamond quality, while 32 percent say that quality comes first. Twenty-five percent prefer 3 stone rings, while 39 percent say that a solitaire diamond engagement ring is just right.
2. Popping The Question
Over 70 percent believe that the element of surprise is crucial to an ideal proposal, while 20 percent think that it is only moderately important. As far as the location is concerned; 19 percent of brides like landmarks, 14 percent prefer a vacation spot, 13 percent prefer to be asked at home, 13 percent prefer the site of the first date, and two percent like the idea of a proposal flashing across a giant Jumbotron in a sports stadium.
3. Parents
More than 50 percent of the women polled say that it is no longer necessary to ask the brides father for her hand in marriage. However, 47 percent would like the groom to ask the brides father, and an additional 21 percent say grooms should also seek the blessing of the brides mother.
4. On Bended Knee
Forty-six percent believe that getting down on one knee is still crucial to the proposal, while 44 percent say that it's preferable. Just one of 10 brides think that the idea is outdated.
5. Ring Settings
A man who wishes to surprise his bride with a diamond engagement ring should be safe and buy a round or princess cut diamond, say the brides. 50 percent prefer the round diamond and 31 percent like the princess diamond. Grooms should also stick to white metals-86 percent of brides prefer precious platinum or white gold for their engagement ring setting. As far as ring styles are concerned; 50 percent like classic or traditional styles, 27 percent prefer contemporary designs, and 25 percent would like a vintage or antique style engagement ring setting.

Your blog is fine. I just want to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing way too much and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I think is really essential. I dont know if you didnt believe that your words could hold everyones attention, but you were wrong.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit a lot more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is critical and every little thing. But its got no punch, no pop! Perhaps should you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a a lot more powerful blog if you let people SEE what youre talking about rather than just reading it.
