LEAP YEAR
Remember, 2008 is a Leap Year, and this February has 29 days. By
tradition, said to go back to
Saint Patrick and Brigid of Kildare in 5th century Ireland, women may make marriage
proposals only in leap years. In Greece, it is believed that getting
married in a leap year is bad luck, and some couples try to avoid setting
the date for a leap year.
