Sarah Allard, Editor of hitched.co.uk comments: “The location is critical when you’re thinking about popping the question. You'll be telling stories about it for the rest of your life, so it has to be romantic, it has to be memorable and, of course, you want to hear ‘Yes!’
“Our research bucks tradition and proves that people are being more creative than ever when it comes to choosing the location of their proposal. You might have expected to see the likes of Big Ben, The Empire State Building and The Coca-Cola London Eye in the top 10 list, but it was Disney parks that stole the show and came out as some of the most popular places to propose at around the world”.
