Did you know that according to folk tradition, leap day is when women can take the lead in popping the question? And, even better, tradition states that their proposals cannot be refused! In fact, according to legend, Queen Margaret of Scotland passed a law in 1288 requiring that fines be imposed if a marriage proposal was refused by a man - fines for refusal ranged from a kiss to a dress.

We thought this would be an interesting fact to share with any of your girlfriends who are on the fence about popping the question! If she can get her plan in place quickly, tomorrow may be the perfect date to go for it.

Did you propose to your fiancé? If so, post a comment and share your story with us.
