To propose marriage is a major event in anyone’s lifetime. Traditionally marriage proposals call on the man, rather than the woman, to pluck up the courage and boldly go where he has not gone before, and with, perhaps the fear of rejection in the back of his mind, take the pivotal plunge and get down on one knee and declare undying love in a moving and romantic marriage proposal. However the right for a woman to make a leap year marriage proposal to her man on the 29th February every leap year goes back hundreds of years. In English law, the day was ‘’leapt over’’ and ignored, and it was declared that traditions had no legal status either. Hundreds of years ago, this was a life saving day for those women who may have been considered destined for the ‘’shelf’’. These days, is it not uncommon for women and men to both PROPOSE marriage, leap year or not. Here are 8 Wonderful Places to Propose Marriage in a Leap Year
