Is there anyone planning a leap day proposal?

I'm hoping my missus will ask me. Keep reminding her....

That would be really sweet!

So as a person of the male species, how would you honestly feel if you were proposed to rather than the other way around?

From what I have heard, some men don't like it as they feel that part of their job has been taken away from them?

Chris why don't you ask her?

I think I would always resent the fact he hadn't asked me. I am old fashioned like that, I wanted him to propose!

Oooohhh was thinking the same thing, maybe an influx on hitched will confirm

I would never have done the proposing! H and I always talked about getting married so I knew it would happen eventually.

To me I would never propose because having learnt with H that men will only propose when they're ready, so it's in their head that they're going to do that and nothing you do will make it happen any quicker. If I proposed because H hadn't, I would feel like he would be pressured to say yes and wouldn't be quite ready in his own mind. Hope that makes sense.

X-posted with OT

I was tempted to do it as I'm still waiting for my 'proper proposal' (his words, not mine!). However, OH will tell me off for ruining his fun/taking his job and also he's away for the next two days with work so I won't actually see him.

This as well. Logically he would say yes as we've already decided to get married but in my very illogical mind, I am sh*t scared of the possibility of rejection

I'd be flattered if she asked me, we're already engaged by mutual consent and there's a big ring on her finger.

If she doesn't ask me then I'll end up doing it. But many years ago I was married, albeit far too young so don't really want to ask again...I only ever wanted to be married once.

She's already buying issues of Brides magazine and complaining they are full of adverts. You should see her Pinterest board!

I was going to do it....but I'm afraid he'll say no....so i guess we'll just jog along forever as we are.

Sandy go for it!! I proposed last yr and now we're getting married in 4 weeks. We had been talking about it and indirectly dared me to ask him, to see if I actually had the bottle. It was one of the most nerve wracking experiences of my life but also one of the happiest! And I was too impatient to wait for a leap year!

Sandy sounds!!! DO ITTT!!!!!!!!!!

I proposed to H, but not on a leap day. He said yes, but we never did anything about it (life got in the way - new house, faulty boiler, broken washing machine flooding the kitchen, leaking bathroom extension roof etc). He had been planning to ask me when we went away for the weekend.

We randomly resurected our plans in Sept 2010, decided if we didn't do it now, we'd never do it so pushed ahead and got married Oct 2011. Best decision we ever made.

Aww Sandy DO IT!!!

I will keep everything crossed for you!!

I know a girl or two who are desperate to get engaged (to the point of considering breakups if it doesn't happen) but wouldn't dream of doing the proposing. I think it's such a shame! Aren't we, as modern women, supposed to go out there and get what we want? We do it with education, jobs and our lives as consumers - why not take control of our love lives as well?

I definitely would've proposed to my love if he'd waited any longer. And not on a leap year either - I can make choices about my life any day, thanks!

Unfortunately, he had an unhappy 20 year marriage and when we met he said he'd never ever marry again.... i'm pretty certain he'd say no which would make things awkward. Sadly, I think I'm destined to live in sin!

Ah Sandy my best friend had an unhappy previous marrige always swore she would never marry again - her partner asked her and to my utter suprise she said yes - go on.... give it a go, if you dont ask you'll never know!?

Never say never!! That was before he met you!

Do you really think he would say no?

Yes i do....and if he does it could create an amosphere and a problem that doesn't exist at the moment. As we are both in the business and attend weddings every week, if he had changed his mind I think he'd have let it slip by noticing things other than where the plug sockets are located!

My oh was with a woman for 4 years when she threatened to leave him unless he proposed while they were on there holliday, so he proposed and when they returned to the uk he split up with her! that horror story was enough for me to know hes a guy who likes to take his time and won't be rushed, i wouldn't have dared propose on a leap day! lol ......so i was VERY suprised when he proposed on my birthday after only 2 years togeather. i quess when they really want to they will!

I did it on the last leap year and we are getting married this leap year. Prob would have got married sooner but we moved house and had a baby inbetween.

well....thats my mind made up then! Why rock a boat thats sailing in calm waters!!!

I guess...well you never know he might just surprise you Sandy!

I wonder if it's crossed his mind today whether you might propose or not. ?

I do think its a lovely idea although when i proposed to my husband he turned me down! he thought it was not my job to do that - actually made me wait 2 years can you believe it???

My work colleague did it just after midnight last night! They have both seperated from previous partners years and years ago, got together a year ago and just recently moved into her house together and trying to sell his. They both have adult children and she and her OH always said there was no point in getting married again, too old, too much fuss, too much money etc etc... turns out she had been thinking about it when she realised it was leap year and last night just went for it even though she assumed he would say no. He said yes! So they are going to have a very quiet fuss-free ceremony and then a big party and amazing honeymoon once they get their houses sorted.

Hey Sandy - I used to say to Carmen "never again".. But we're very happy, and seeing our Wedding Pics (that you've seen) with her Beaming all day still makes me all emotional! (blub! lol)

I got mine

Really?! Was that for you?! If so, congratulations!!

Chris that's amazing! Congratulations Did she buy you the jelly ring and herself the diamond one?!

That's what I wondered... though my first thought was 'Chris will suit that bit of bling' ?

The Jelly one was for me. I bought and gave the ring about 4 weeks ago.

No proposal was made though until today. Laura did it the right way too, just turned up with a balloon and a smile

woo! I'm really pleased for you Chris, wonderful news

Any ideas about a likely date?

Congratulations again!

He said no!

looks like i'm destined to be a Ms with a surname that no one can pronounce!
