According to the survey, while most men (55 per cent) within the age of 26-33 years are keen to take their wedding vows on the most romantic day, half the women are inclined to consider other factors in choosing their wedding dates. The survey had over a 1,000 millenials and Gen-Z respondents from across cities like Delhi/NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, Nagpur, Indore, among others. The survey highlights unconventional trends and brings about interesting gender comparisons. The report revealed that spending Valentine's Day alone seems to be the most popular choice with women, who are clearly ahead of the curve in celebrating self-love.
