In a Leap Year, it's traditional for women to propose to men. This year we're giving all you romantics out there the chance to propose to your loved ones in our special February 29 edition.
There is a tradition that in 1288 the Scottish parliament under Queen Margaret legislated that any woman could propose in Leap Year; few parliament records of that time exist, and none concern February 29.[1] Another component of this tradition was that if the man rejects the proposal, he should soften the blow by providing a kiss, one pound currency( or about 100,000THB today), and a pair of gloves (some later sources say a silk gown)"
I didnt know about that till today. I think it's pretty fair for us ladies who want to get marry so terribly but our boyfriend still wont make any move no matter how many hints you've been giving to lol I'm pretty sure that some couples are just happy the way they are, no need a piece of paper to show their commitment or anything but I'm pretty sure that deep down inside, most of us still wanna get married anyway, right? ;-)
Personally I think getting married is something I wanna do just to show the world that the man I'm getting married is forever mine! You know it is not easy to find a guy who completely commit to you when you live in Thailand, esp Bangkok, The temptation land. There are always so many beautiful women around you and him? I still think that if you find someone special who means a lot to you, just dont let them go. It's still not too late to ask them to marry you now or else you have to wait for another 4 years lol
Although by the time I finish writing this, it's already passed 29th of February (I finished the first half on 29th!). I'm still hoping to find Mr.right by 2012 so I could ask him to marry me if he would not do that before then. Perhaps I'd feel so old and desperate by then hahaha well you'd never know would you?
So may I ask you again, "Will you marry me?" I hope it's a Yes ;-)
