Kā sievietes starptautiskajā “sievietes bildina vīriešus” dienā lūdza mīļoto roku

29. februāris pienāk tikai reizi četros gados, tam sekojot krietnai devai māņticības un folkloru.

Vēl šis datums ir pazīstams kā “leap day” jeb “garā diena”, kas ir ne vien papildus diena kalendārā, bet arī datums, kad sievietes visā pasaulē bildina savus mīļotos vīriešus. (Protams, sievietes var bildināt savas otrās puses arī jebkurā citā datumā!)

Lai gan nav īsti skaidrs, kur tieši un kad šī tradīcija cēlās, lai gan tiek lēsts par Skotiju vai Īriju, sievietes joprojām, līdz šai dienai, izmanto iespēju pajautāt liktenīgo jautājumu.

Lūk, dažas sievietes, kas lūdza savu mīļoto roku 29. februārī šajā gadā:

It’s a leap year! So I asked and he said yes! ❤️❤️ #leapyearproposal #marriageproposal #hesaidyes #couple #fiancee #fairylights #prosecco #shloer #celebration #hesaidyes #love #marriage #weddings #engagementring #engaged #engagement #abouttime

Sleepy eyed and in a pile of dirty laundry, I asked my best friend to be my forever. I’m so lucky. #leapdayproposal #hesaidyes #fuckgendernorms

Romantic sunset at the beach. Its not every year a girl gets this opportunity (in traditional circles anyway, I’d still recommend it to any woman out there) tricked him, pretending I wanted some photos for my website and set the camera to record the moment. I was shaking after he said yes, the cuddles were to calm my nerves. #sheasked #sheproposed #hesaidyes #feb29 #love #perthlife #burnsbeach #likeagirl

Tāpat tiek ziņots, ka vairākas sievietes, piemēram, Austrālijā, savus mīļotos bildinājušas caur radio.
