<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Britain and Ireland, it is a tradition&nbsp;that women may propose marriage&nbsp;only on leap years.</p>
<p>While it has been claimed that the tradition was initiated by Saint Patrick&nbsp;or Brigid of Kidaire&nbsp;in 5th century Ireland, this is dubious, as the tradition has not been attested before the 19th century.<span style="font-size: xx-small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>Supposedly, a 1288 law by Queen Margaret of Scotland&nbsp;(then age five and living in Norway), required that fines be levied if a marriage proposal was refused by the man; compensation was deemed to be a pair of leather gloves, a single rose, &pound;1 and a kiss.<span style="font-size: xx-small;">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;In some places the tradition was tightened to restricting female proposals to the modern leap year day, February 29, or to the medieval leap year day, February 24.</p>
<p>In Denmark, the tradition is that women may propose on the leap year day, February 29, and that refusal must be compensated with 12 pairs of gloves.</p>
<p>In Finland, the tradition is that if a man refuses a woman's proposal on leap year day, he should buy her the fabrics for a skirt.</p>
<p>In Greece, marriage in a leap year is considered unlucky.<span style="font-size: xx-small;">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;One in five engaged couples in Greece will plan to avoid getting married in a leap year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So....did you propose to your man this leap year? If he said yes, which I very much hope he did, then check out Helen Maynard Photography and her photographs at <a href="http://www.photo-girl.co.uk">http://www.photo-girl.co.uk&nbsp;</a></p>
