Maybe it’s the sparkling tree, the tinkle of sleigh bells – or even too much eggnog - but every year thousands of guys are inspired to pop the question under the mistletoe.

Statistics show that around one in four couples get engaged over the festive season, and, come the New Year, they’re facing a lengthy wedding to-do list.
