Subject: RE: Ladies! Leap year 29th Feb Who Proposed? From: katlaughing Date: 29 Feb 08 - 07:08 PM Sadie Hawkins Day is supposed to be in November, but I remember my sister and her mates playing at it in college around 29 Feb. Can't remember if it was a skit or what, but I begged the outfit from her to play dress-up in, after. First Sadie Hawkins Day Lil'Abner cartoon. |

Subject: RE: Ladies! Leap year 29th Feb Who Proposed? From: Becca72 Date: 29 Feb 08 - 07:19 PM From a story in my local paper: One of the legends, offered online by the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies (leapyearday.com), is that in Scotland around 1288, a law was passed to make it legal for a woman to propose marriage – in a leap year only. A man could be fined for saying no. Sadie Hawkins Day is November 15. |

Subject: RE: Ladies! Leap year 29th Feb Who Proposed? From: Rowan Date: 29 Feb 08 - 08:12 PM well I had no offer to honour. To rephrase the old saw about Lizbet's wedding night, did you have any honour to offer? And, with regard to Becca's post, when I was a young lad it was traditional for young ladies to propose marriage on 29th February (if they had appropriate 'targets in sight') and that a lad who refused such a proposal was obliged to give the young lady a pair of white gloves. Cheers, Rowan |

Subject: RE: Ladies! Leap year 29th Feb Who Proposed? From: jeffp Date: 29 Feb 08 - 11:09 PM My girlfriend and I have both asked and accepted this year, but the official proposal will not come until I have the ring in hand. We are going to see it for the first time tomorrow, but it will have a little bit of work yet to be done before I can put it on her finger. The wedding is planned for October '09. |

Subject: RE: Ladies! Leap year 29th Feb Who Proposed? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Mar 08 - 03:44 AM I made a proposal but the person to whom it was addressed refused - I suspect on the grounds that he couldn't a) keep his trap shut long enough to do it, and b) it was probably going to frighten the horses or c) get me sacked.

Subject: RE: Ladies! Leap year 29th Feb Who Proposed? From: Anne Lister Date: 01 Mar 08 - 06:05 AM I hit the same problem as Carole ... he would have agreed, except that we've already tied the knot. We are, however, thinking in terms of a big party next July to celebrate five years of marital bliss - don't know if we can afford the same venue as the wedding, though! Anne |
