So as I was reading through some recent wedding statistics, I read the following, "99% of grooms do the proposing," which left me wondering: Is that all? I would have thought that 100% of grooms do the proposing...Are there really women out there that have proposed to their men? In every other way, gender roles have changed over the past few decades, where women have fought hard for their rights and their equality. Women now are often the bread-winners in the house, run successful companies, and have every right that a man has. But the timeless, romantic tradition of a groom proposing to his bride seems as if it would be the one "inequality" that would withstand the test of time...but surprisingly , the thought-pattern is shifting.
According to some recent polls, 6 out of 10 Americans believe that the man should not always have to be the one to propose marriage. Almost half (48%) of women said that they would consider proposing marriage to their man! And 8 out of 10 men said that, if asked by a woman, would accept a marriage proposal.

I also found out that in some cultures, Leap Year Day (February 29th) is the one day where it is considered "OK" for a woman to ask for her man's hand in marriage. Read more about it here. What do you think? Do you know any women who have proposed to their future husbands? Have you proposed to your future husband? Post your comments!
