Wedding Planner NJ - A Very Decent Proposal

Isn't that sweet? While no one really know how many people get proposed to on Valentine's Day, but according to one French study, the number of people popping the question in Paris on February 14th jumps 20-fold compared to any other day. Apparently it has to do with tourists whisking their loved ones away to the City of Love around that day and using the overwhelming power of the moment to propose.

Vegas, baby!
I think it might also have to do with stacking the odds in favor of getting a "yes." Yet according the the quite a few people runaway to Las Vegas to get married every year, though there's no hard and fast number on how many do so on Valentine's Day.

The number crunchers over at the U.S. Census Bureau say that more than 6,000 people a day, or 2.1 million people annually, got married in 2009 (how many of you hired a wedding planner?) with Las Vegas being the second most popular city in the world to do it in. Those 114,000 people tying the knot there placed second only to Instanbul, Turkey, which came in at No. 1 with 166,000. That might help explain why jewelry stores nationwide sold some $2.4 billion worth merchandise last February alone.

Love is in the air
So as we fast approach another Valentine's Day this year -- it officially became a Christian holiday in 496 A.D. -- we're likely to see yet another spate of marriage proposals being served up. But even if you're not jetting off to gay Paree or rolling the dice in Vegas, try to act surprised if your beau suddenly lands on one knee in front of you and asks you to be his Valentine forever.

After all, statistics also show that January is one of the top months for breakups, no doubt because Valentine's Day is right around the corner and who wants to break hearts then? So if you've made it through that cruel month with your relationship still intact, that can only mean your heart-shaped box may be filled with love yet.
