Here are some of the most romantic places to propose to your loved one in the UK. Also, some interesting and unusual places to stay.

Try hiring a Pinucchia which is a 48 foot yacht and sail around the secluded bays in Cornwall giving you plenty of privacy for you to pop the question.  Afterwards to celebrate, stay at the Hotel Tresanton in St. Mawes which houses twenty nine sea view rooms. www.tresanton.com

If you fancy staying at something slightly unconventional yet romantic, why not try a windmill?  Bradford Old Windmill is situated near Bath.  The former grinding room now contains a round bed with luxury satin sheets ready for your pleasurable weekend.

Another unconventional romantic place to stay for your proposal weekend is Corsewall Lighthouse in Scotland.  Built in 1815 it still has working functions. It has conservatory which is sea facing with fabulous views and the lighthouse is a four star hotel.

Another city break could please the star gazers.  The Malmaison Hotel which is a contemporary hotel has illuminated walls so you can spell out your proposal to surprise your loved one.  These hotels can be found in most major UK cities, Edinburgh, Birmingham and London.

If you feel you would still like your proposal question written rather than said, why not hire a plane which will fly approximately 2,000 feet in the air towing your wedding proposal banner?  This can be held in any high open places for example, Primrose Hill, London.

If you both have a good head for heights then try popping the question on the top of Snowdon or Ben Nevis.  If that sounds like too much hard work maybe a ride in a hot air balloon would be more relaxing. Rides take off from the grounds of Leeds Castle and gently travel over Kent, the garden of England.

If you prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground yet still fancy travelling in style, try hiring a classic car like a 1959 Triumph TR3A or an E – type 1963 jaguar in which you can travel at your own pace throughout Sussex.  Afterwards celebrate in style at The George Hotel in Rye, a relaxing way to end a wonderful exciting day.

Why Do Women Propose on 29th February in Leap Year?

27 Jan, 2010 || Categories: Proposing

Leap year comes round once in every four years, and on that day, in some countries, it’s traditional that women can ask the man they love to marry them. 

How did it all start?

In fifth century Ireland, a legend states that St. Bridget was frustrated at women having to wait such a long time for their men folk to propose marriage, so she went to St. Patrick and told him this. His reply was to allow the February day of the leap year in which the women who were in love could propose to their men folk.

In England the 29th February was just ignored.  The English men and women assumed that as the 29th February had no legal status, it would also have no traditional status either.  However the situation eventually changed when realising that this date of leap year only existed to help the calendar date. Using this same date could also help with an old and unfair tradition of only letting the men propose.

A new law was allegedly passed in 1288 in Scotland giving permission for a woman to propose marriage to her man that leap year.  There is also a tradition that it was law that if a man refused the woman’s proposal within that leap year, then he must pay a fine. The fine could be a number of things, ranging from a kiss or payment for a pair of gloves or a silk dress.

Saying “I Do”

Could there be a more special moment in a girl’s life than saying “I do”. It is a life-changing moment and a decision that will start a ball rolling that will grow bigger and bigger as the wedding day approaches.

If you are on this website, you have probably made the decision already and may be wondering about all sorts of questions like, will I get on well with his family and friends? Will my present lifestyle change to suite him only?

These questions,  and many more besides, are natural to be concerned about and important to discuss with your partner.
