Proposal planning is traditionally left to the men, however one company in Leicester is encouraging women to take charge and propose to their partners this leap year.

Carriages Weddings & Events has launched a brand new proposal planning service to help anyone who needs some creative assistance, or simply a hand with working out the logistics.

Company Director Sonal Kholia, said, ���February 29th is traditionally the one day where women can turn the tables and ask their partner to marry them. We want to help all the women out there and give them some added confidence, and show them that actually, it�۪s ok to propose to your partner all year round ��� especially given the modern society we live in today.�۝

The 12th century tradition of women proposing to men began in Ireland where women were allowed to propose to men. According to folklore tradition, if the proposal was rejected, then the man in question would have to buy her 12 pairs of gloves to hide her hand from the embarrassment of not wearing an engagement ring.

Moving back to the modern day, according to a recent survey, almost half of British men said they would say yes if their other half proposed to them. Famous female proposers include; Queen Victoria, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Hudson and Halle Berry.

Sonal added: ���Times are changing and like with anything else you need to keep moving with them. Our new service is aimed at those to-be brides (or grooms) who want to make their proposal story special and memorable, because it�۪s something that will stay with them and their loved one for the rest of their life.�۝
