A fabulous February 29 marriage proposal
Molly Gibney made sure that she was completely ready to propose on the one day in four years that a woman can traditionally ask a man for his hand in marriage.

These included King Street, St Andrew’s Park and Cafe Amore, with Molly holding cards containing the words ‘Will you marry me?’ in each photo.
“We’ve talked about marriage a lot,” Molly told the BBC News Magazine,” but I decided to do it on February 29, since that’s true to tradition.”
Fortunately, after all of Molly’s efforts, Paul said yes.
