Serious HKBu Demands Yandao Looks and 1-Carat Diamond to Marry

[Pinkieslut]

At least a 1-carat diamond ring for her, good looks and body shape for him: what Hong Kong brides-to-be and grooms look for from a partner​

• Don’t have a ring? Most brides will say no to your proposal. And if you do buy one, the rock had better be big. But the spending doesn’t stop there
• Photos, banquet, dresses and make-up, as well as betrothal money pushed the average cost of a wedding in the city in 2022 to over US$49,000

When it comes to diamond engagement rings, size matters. Hong Kong brides-to-be want a rock that’s at least one carat.
That is one of the findings of e-commerce website ESDlife’s survey that asked 1,226 people, with marriage plans between 2022 and 2024, about their wedding spending.
If you don’t have a ring when you propose, prepare for the worst: more than half of the brides-to-be (56 per cent) said they would reject a proposal if it didn’t come with a ring.
