Some people say that the tradition of proposing to your man was initiated by Saint Patrick or Brigid of Kildare in 5th century Ireland. St Brigid apparently complained to St Patrick that women were having to wait too long for proposals and he said, “Well fine, have one day every four years and be quiet about it, already.” Some say that a 1288 law by Queen Margaret of Scotland, required that fines were levied if a 29 February marriage proposal was refused by the man.
And in Denmark, the tradition is apparently that refusal must be compensated by buying the woman 12 pairs of gloves to hide her wedding ring-less hands.
Whatever the reason, the 29th is your day, ladies. Get a tasteful ring, work out what you’re going to say.Make its special, make it a moment that you will remember for the rest of your lives together..if he accepts..LOL..
The DO's and DON'Ts when it comes to proposing to your mann..
Do: express how you feel. You’d like him to tell you how much he loves you if he was asking you to marry him.
Don't: express how you feel too much. Men can get embarrassed if things get excessively mushy so don’t overwhelm him with romance. In other words, don’t have it raining rose petals and hold the fireworks.
Do: be confident. He probably loves you just as much as you love him.
Don't: expect an answer straight away. Unlike us, men don’t spend their whole lives dreaming about this moment. In fact, many even fear it. With this in mind, don’t be surprised if your man needs some time to think about it.
Do: ask if he wants a ring. He probably won’t but you don’t want to start your marriage with him resenting your lack of generosity.
Don't: he wants a ring and give it to him there and then.
Take into account what type of guy he is. For example, if he is the metrosexual type,buy him a watch. A watch is the perfect proposal gift for him, i mean its what i would get him.:-)
Bottom line,take it easy ladies, and remember he already loves you, thats why he is still with you.
