Leap Year proposal~~

 

"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. Society doesn't look down on such women. However, that hasn't always been the case.

 

When the rules of courtship were stricter, women were only allowed to pop the question on one day every four years. That day was February 29th.

 

St. Bridget's Complaint

 

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.

February 29th in English Law

 

According to English law, February 29th was ignored and had no legal status. Folks assumed that traditions would also have no status on that day. It was also reasoned that since the leap year day existed to fix a problem in the calendar, it could also be used to fix an old and unjust custom that only let men propose marriage.

The first documentation of this practice dates back to 1288, when Scotland supposedly passed a law that allowed women to propose marriage to the man of their choice in that year. Tradition states they also made it law that any man who declined a proposal in a leap year must pay a fine. The fine could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves.

 

Sadie Hawkins Day

 

In the United States, some people have referred to this date as Sadie Hawkins Day with women being given the right to run after unmarried men to propose.

Sadie Hawkins was a female character in the Al Capp comic strip Li'l Abner. Many communities prefer to celebrate Sadie Hawkins Day in November because Al Capp first mentioned Sadie Hawkins Day on November 15, 1937.

 

Greek Superstition

 

There is a Greek superstition that claims couples have bad luck if they marry during a leap year. Apparently one in five engaged couples in Greece will avoid planning their wedding during a leap year."

Now talk about great movies Lil Abner with a bunch of stripped down to their bathing suits muscle guys ignoring women and preening. And the incomparable Julie Newmar as Stupifin' Jones. She is hired to jump out and Stupify Lil Abner so Daisy Mae doesnt catch him and she will have to settle for Earthquake Magoo/Magoon I think it is Magoon. There is also a character named Appassionata von Climaxx Gotta love it.

Spoiler Alert!! for a 40 year old movie

 

Don't have to rewrite it at the end Marryin' Sam is very busy. At least one cute couple exchanging "I duz"

[Guest greatness]

That's what I'm talking about

 

What good movie could be complete without a wonderful wedding in the end

 

Examples are:

 

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

My Best Friend's Wedding

Enchanted

Sex and the City

The Wedding Planner

The Wedding Singer and so on...

 

Ever ever after~~~

 

Ever ever after

Storybook endings

Fairy tales coming true

Deep down inside we wanna belive they still do

And a secret it taught

It's out favorite part of the story

Let's just admit we all want to make it to

 

Ever ever after

If we just don't get it our own way

Ever ever after

It may only be a wish away

 

Start a new fashion

Wear your heart on your sleeve

Sometimes you reach what's realist by making believe

Unafraid, unashamed

There is joy to be claimed in this world

You even might wind up being glad to be you

 

Ever ever after

Though the world will tell you it's not smart

Ever ever after

The world can be yours if you let your heart believe in ever after

 

No wonder your heart feels it's flying

Your head feels it's spinning

Each happy ending's a brand new beginning

Let yourself be enchanted

You just might break through

 

To ever ever after

Forever could even start today

Ever ever after

Maybe it's just one wish away

Your ever ever after

 

I've been dreaming of a true love's first kiss

Oh, Oh for ever ever after

Matthew in A Single Man

 

You can definitely see just about all of him in A Single Man, and he is excellent in the role of the main character's deceased lover, seen entirely in flashbacks. I especially liked the scene in which they met at a bar. Matthew is entirely clothed in that scene, in military drag and sexy as all get-out.
