Women should only propose on a leap year!


Should you propose to your partner on leap year?

There are a lot of women who cannot wait for those long 4 years to pass so they can propose… then there are the women who don’t bother waiting for a leap year and just propose anyway (girl power!)

On February 29th 2020 women are ‘permitted’ to take matters into their own hands and propose to their partners, but where did this tradition come from?

According to Irish Folklore, during the 5th century in Ireland, St. Brigid of Kildare (an Irish Nun) felt that women were left far too long waiting for a proposal, so he discussed this with St. Patrick and expressed her dismay.

It was decided that women could propose on one day only in the month of February during a leap year.
Now, ladies, you are of course more than capable of proposing on any other day of the year but there is nothing wrong with following tradition and waiting for this special date to come around. After all, if you are in a same sex relationship, are you going to wait 4 years if you miss this one? Heck no!?

So women, like Beyoncé said… put a ring on it!

I can help set up the most amazing proposal and provide a photographer to capture this special moment so please get in touch to learn more!
