Proposing to your OH...

I was wondering this the other day when I realised it was a Leap Year next year. I think my mum might've proposed to my dad - I can't remember, I shall ask her later and update!

I proposed to my OH about 3 and a half years ago, he said no. He was wanting to do it himself as he's very traditional, 18 months later he had the courage

My Hairdresser is! on the 29th Feb next year she's going to ask her BF. But she wants to be married in April which is going to be interesting! as she hasn't asked him yet

I dont understand the tradition of women proposing on a leap year? x

Being obsessed with weddings i had always dreamed of the boy proposing to me. Luckily didn't get to me reconsidering that

I couldn't wait for the leap year so took matters into my own hands and proposed on his 40th birthday in January! You don't ask, you don't get!

I proposed to my oh this june, i would have waited forever, i actually geared myself up for a no but thank goodness he said yes and set a date straight away x

We have a friend whose girlfriend is Italian and had never heard of this before! she was very excited when we told her as i think if its left to him, she'll be waiting a very long time!!! he may be in for a shock!!

I proposed to my OH on the last leap year we had. I didn't want to wait for him because I'm inpatient ? I surprised him by putting a ring in a box within a box within a box (x7!). In every box he opened I wrote a line of a poem. Then when he finally got to the ring he was shocked but I think a bit happy!

A few months later after our daughter was born we went out for a meal with my parents and he got down on one knee pulled out a blinging ring and did it in front of a load of people (I hate attention!) and had a massive bunch of flowers bought in for me too. I was bright red and sobbing like mad!

I think he needed to feel like the man and do it. ( or he wanted to just embarass me!) There is no one else either of us could ever be with. He's my best mate and he would do anything for me and our daughter so I knew he wasn't pressured into it.

They are such lovely stories! Congratulations, ladies!

I think my sister should propose to her OH but she thinks he'd feel a bit put out. I really admire your bravery! x

(As an aside, if any of you want to share your stories with a blog, I know one who'd love to hear from you. Drop me a pm if you're interested).

I proposed to H, but it wasn't a leap year (or even romantic). A month later he "proposed" with a ring. We then just stayed engaged for 5 years.

I proposed to my OH, I didn't do it on 29th February, I don't really understand why this is the only time its ok for a girl to do it.

it was a hard time, I had recently had my first miscarriage, but I wanted to show him how much I loved him and needed him. I put a note inside a fortune cookie while we had chinese.

He still proposed to me, as he had it already planned!

I think I would have done if he hadn't asked me.

But I'm pretty traditional and I would have wanted him to ask me. I'm not sure why as it's still the same end result.
