Bachelor’s Day is almost here!
That’s another term for Leap Day. Leap Year has been around for centuries - and so has a tradition that gives single women the go-ahead to pop the question. According to an old Irish legend, Saint Bridget struck a deal with Saint Patrick to allow women to propose to men on Leap Day. If the man refuses the proposal, he has to buy the woman 12 pairs of gloves to hide her embarrassing, ringless hand.
If the proposal is a success – plan the wedding for NEXT year, or the two years after that. It’s considered bad luck to get married in a Leap Year – and REALLY bad luck to get married on Leap Day!
