On holiday there are endless opportunities to propose with beautiful views, stunning sunsets, and long leisurely dinners. The couple will be in a relaxed mood without anything to worry about besides celebrating their engagement, and will have time to enjoy their new status before the break the news to friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>The Christmas and New Year\u2019s holidays are also popular times to get engaged with 12% and 5% of couples reporting that their proposal took place at these times.
