2012 Leap Year - Romantic Getaway
February 29, 2012 - marketing
Ladies! 2012 is a leap year so you know what that means...
A tradition was introduced many centuries ago to allow women to propose to men during a leap year. This privilege of proposing was restricted to leap day in some areas.
Leap day was sometimes known as Bachelors Day. A man was expected to pay a penalty, such as a gown or money, if he refused a marriage offer from a woman.
So why not book a romantic long weekend getaway to the Isle of Wight, stay in one of Wight Locations' lovely self catering holiday properties, and pop the question to your man!
