Leap Year Wedding

The origins of the lady asking the man to marry. The folklore surrounding a Leap Year Wedding goes back so far it is now shrouded in myths and tales. Though in the 13th century it is said there was a Scottish act of Parliament and this was enshrined in English common Law. The act stated the men who declined the invitation to wed were find £100. Another twist, if the girl who did the asking had failed to wear a scarlet flannel petticoat, or if a corner of the same were not partly visible under her dress, the man who declined would be spared the ill luck that a turn down would be inflicted on the poor gentleman.
