Leap Year has been the traditional time that women can propose marriage. In many of today's cultures, it is okay for a woman to propose marriage to a man. It is believed this tradition was started in 5th century Ireland when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about women having to wait for so long for a man to propose. According to legend, St. Patrick said the yearning females could propose on this one day in February during the leap year.

What Was the first leap day ever celebrated?
Leap Day, on February 29, has been a day of traditions, folklore, and superstitions ever since Leap Years were first introduced by Julius Caesar over 2000 years ago. However, the specific tradition of celebrating Leap Day as a special occasion appears to have varied cultural origins. For instance, in Scotland, a law was passed in 1288 permitting women to propose to men on Leap Day. On the other hand, the idea of creating a festival to celebrate Leap Day was proposed in 1988 in Anthony, on the Texas–New Mexico border. So, while the concept of a Leap Day has been around for over two millennia, the specific traditions and celebrations associated with it have evolved over time and differ across cultures.
