1. Marriage proposal

   A marriage proposal is an event where one person in a relationship asks for the other's hand in marriage. If accepted, it marks the initiation of engagement. It often has a ritual quality, sometimes involving the presentation of an engagement ring and the formal asking of a question such as, "Will you marry me?" In western culture, it is traditional for the man to propose to the woman while kneeling on one knee before her, and sometimes putting the ring on her finger, as opposed to merely giving it to her. Often the proposal is a surprise. The average duration of preceding courtship varies considerably throughout the world. In many Western cultures, the tradition has been for the man to propose to the woman. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, 29 February in a leap year is said to be the one day when a woman can propose to her partner. As a monarch, Queen Victoria had to propose to Prince Albert. Finland has the same custom, with the addition that a man rejecting such a proposal was expected to buy his suitor enough cloth for a skirt as compensation. Although still rare, a woman will occasionally propose to a man. Proposals by women have reportedly become more common in recent years, with jewelry companies manufacturing engagement rings for men. However, in the western cultures where engagement rings have traditionally been plain, similar bands worn by both sexes, of course, the idea of "an engagement ring for men" is nothing new.
