Ladies – you have 2 years to plan your proposal

Posted by admin on October 21st, 2010

It’s always down to us men to deal with the wedding proposal, isn’t it? We have to deal with all the stresses and strains of building up to the moment when we open the box containing the diamond engagement rings we have chosen, hoping that the answer will be yes.

Well, in these days of equality women are making the decision that they will be the one who pops the question, but even so, they usually wait for a Leap Year before they do this. It has long been a tradition that this is the only time a woman can make the proposal, and this can be traced back to a time when the rules of courtship were strict, and women were only allowed to make a proposal on one day every four years, February 29th.

Historians believe this tradition was started in Ireland during the fifth century when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about women having to wait for a proposal. Apparently, St. Patrick said that women could propose on this one day in February during the leap year.

Others believe that the chance for women to propose came about because of a section of English law which said that February 29th had no legal status. People assumed that traditions would also have no status on that day, so it could also be used to fix an old and unjust custom that only let men propose marriage.

The first documentation of women proposing came in 1288 when Scotland passed a law which allowed women to propose to their man. So, ladies, you have two years to choose the diamond engagement rings and wedding ring sets because the next Leap Year is 2012. Forget about the Olympics and start looking at the gold engagement rings and diamond engagement rings right here on the Marlow’s Certified Diamonds website.

Written Promises: Wedding Ring Engraving

The intimate nature of secret messages between lovers is something not easily replicated (that’s why romance novels sell so well!) especially up against the trials and tribulations of modern living. Whilst an engagement ring itself can carry meaning (the Victorians loved to send coded messages via flowers and gems!) the wedding band is perhaps forgotten as the blank page it is. A thoughtful, personal engraving on your wedding bands can provide a much-needed moment of calm on a busy day, verification of true love in harder times, or even the courage to endure hardship or difficulty.

Wedding jewellery, particularly wedding rings, marks a lifelong statement of commitment, promise and love between partners. Traditionally gold wedding rings are the norm, however the practicalities involved in engraving wedding diamond rings of various materials and styles are largely similar and incredibly easy for a jeweller or established diamond merchant like Marlows to arrange.

Consider these points carefully before making your mark – What do you want the message to be? Should it be the same on both rings? Do you want the message to be a surprise for your spouse on your wedding day?

Think carefully about the message – do you want it to be a personal coded message that only makes sense to your eyes? Something classic like “My Love, My Life”? Perhaps something a little more like the contemporary “I Want to Hold Your Hand” or maybe simply the date of your wedding (very helpful for forgetful husbands!) Avoiding gimmick-like quotations is certainly advisable, after all, this is something you’ll carry about your person for life, and the premonition of slipping off your wedding ring for an x-ray revealing the words “Booty Princess” might just be enough to make you reconsider! The perfect inscription is heartfelt, simple and loaded with amorous connotations between you and your loved one.
