Interesting Facts

Women in the UK can ask men to marry them. It's a tradition, that every leap year a woman can ask a man to marry her. And if he says, "No" he has to pay a fine or buy her a new dress. Unfortunately as a married woman I don't think I'm allowed to do this.

In ancient Greece, tossing an apple to a girl was a traditional proposal of marriage; catching it was acceptance. (An apple a day keeps the marriage counsellor in work!)
