Follow on Google News | British women aren’t content to be ‘Waity Katie’sWomen expect partners to pop the question after two years and five months
By: I Love Natural Cork The poll by I Love Natural Cork, commissioned to celebrate the launch of the new ‘Pop ‘n’ Fizz’ app, found that most women start dropping hints and begin window shopping for engagement rings around that time. The study, which quizzed 2,000 women who were either married or in a long-term relationship, found that those who got engaged around the two and a half year mark were the happiest, explaining that this was the point when they knew if the relationship was working, and had come to terms with their partner’s bad habits. Eight in ten of those questioned said they would always live with someone, for at least a year, before deciding whether they would tie the knot. It also seems that ‘Waity Katy’ was prepared to wait longer than most, with the majority of women considering eight-and-a- Although half of us claim it doesn’t matter who pops the question, in reality nine in ten women waited for their partners to do so and one in ten women had already dumped one boyfriend because they waited 'too long' for him to go down on one knee. Three quarters of the women surveyed are still waiting. Popping open that all important cork was the most popular way to celebrate an engagement with 70% of those questioned declaring that a wedding just wouldn’t be the same without popping open the Champagne. Over a third of married women saved a Champagne cork from their wedding day as a keepsake. Psychologist and relationship expert, Corrine Sweet, said: "Today's 'Mr Right' has to get his emotional timing in gear if he's to catch his blushing bride. Not too early, while they are establishing intimacy, trust and love, but not too late, so as to miss the perfect moment or bypass it altogether. Like Prince William, today's prospective grooms are wise to pop the question - and any celebratory corks - before passion has cooled." A spokesman for I Love Natural Cork said: “The Royal Wedding marks the start of the wedding season, and what better way to celebrate romance than to pop the cork on a bottle of fizz. The pop of a cork has always been synonymous with celebration, and anyone not lucky enough to open a real bottle this Friday can join in the fun and celebrate with our new ‘Pop ‘n’ Fizz’ app, which is available to download for free from the Apple store today.” -Ends- Notes to editors: Survey conducted by One Poll of 2,000 married women or those in a long term relationship in April 2011. The survey also revealed that: • One in six women have put off getting hitched to save money and four in ten said marriage wasn’t currently a priority for them • Only one in twenty said they were waiting to get married once they're ready to have kids and two per cent said they ‘still had to convince the parents’. • The study also found one in ten women have rushed into marriage despite knowing the bloke they were with wasn’t the one.
