As 2012 is also a leap year, there is no excuse for the ladies not to take a leap of faith and be brave enough to "pop the question".
As part of our market research at the Diamond Studio, we are keen to find out about your love stories, especially where you got engaged, how your other half selected your engagement ring or did you give hints on what you would ideally like? Please feel free to post on our facebook or twitter pages or alternatively post your comments at the bottom of this post.
