With the onset of Valentine's day and a huge buzz around weddings this year, thanks to announcements not only from the Royals William and Kate, and Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips, this year is set to be one of the most couple-focused we've had for some time. So watch out boys, the pressure is on. The ultimate in romantic gestures is going to be no easy contest. Not only will stag do's now have to rival the Royals' and wedding dresses have to match up to potential princesses' but you're going to have to successfully shift the focus onto the miracle of you and your lady, and not the next best thing as demonstrated by other loved-up duos suddenly ready to tie the knot.
Whilst Mr Tindall preferred to propose at home, unless you've been hiding under a rock recently, the world and its sister will know that Wills chose a more memorable spot during a holiday at a luxury safari lodge in Kenya. And Africa certainly seems to be the theme. Perhaps it's after visits to watch the World Cup last year that has provided another surge in popularity again this year. Prince Harry is said to be organising William's stag do in Cape Town, where he and William both have other friends. Somebody must know something we don't.
