Woman Asks Boyfriend To Marry Her With A Steak And An Onion Ring In Leap Year Proposal

#1 Cheers! Duncan said yes - and then probably ate the steak

During a leap year it's tradition for women to propose to their partners on February 29, reversing social norms.

One woman from Southcote did just that - but she said it with a steak.

Joleen Williams, 37, proposed to 55-year-old Duncan Schofield with a steak branded with the message: "Will you marry me?"

#2 Finally, a marriage proposal we can eat afterwards

Jo popped the question to her partner of one year at her local Beefeater restaurant, taking advantage of their 'M-engagement' proposal package.

Duncan was presented with a 10oz steak with the branded message, along with 'crispfetti' instead of confetti, an onion ring (in place of a diamond ring, obviously), two bottles of beer and a 'man-sized' box of tissues.

#3 Another lady proposed to her boyfriend Tony following afternoon tea in a hotel.

Another lady who took advantage of the leap year yesterday was 35-year-old Hayley Toone, from Derbyshire, who proposed to her boyfriend Tony following afternoon tea in a hotel.

Hayley enlisted the help of a 30-strong choir to sing Tony's favourite Beatles tracks before turning their hymn sheets over to reveal the proposal.
