Here’s the translation to American English:
Summer romances have stopped being exclusive movie stories to become a tangible reality. A recent survey by Bodas.net reveals that 40% of couples in the process of planning their wedding began their relationship during the summer season. This trend is not limited to relationships alone; it also marks a notable increase in marriage proposals, with August leading the statistics in Spain, accounting for 12% of the annual total.
Summer, known for its festive and vacation atmosphere, thus establishes itself as a key period for true love. According to the same report, weddings are concentrated in September, with 18% of celebrations scheduled for that month, followed by June and July, both at 14%. This year, the days of September 6, 13, and 20 are expected to be the busiest for wedding ceremonies, highlighting that the season of sunshine could just be the beginning of a shared journey to the altar.
As for the places where these romances begin, the survey also reveals interesting information about how couples meet. An astonishing 24% of people getting married met through mutual friends. This figure surpasses encounters in social settings (18%), dating apps (14%), and the workplace (12%). Thus, more than luck or chance, it is friendship networks that often act as the best “Cupid” of the 21st century.
