 Ladies, this is your big chance to ask your partner to marry you on Leap Day.

It's normal to expect a proposal from someone you think you've met the one, regardless of how long you've been dating.
Still, some women have to wait longer than others for their significant others to ask them out.


February 29 is the perfect day to ask your significant other to marry you if you're a woman who has been waiting patiently for her boyfriend to pop the question but it's just not happening. Yes, ladies! In case you were unaware, Leap Day is the only day on which you can propose to someone.
Leap Day is a custom where a lady proposes to a man, and it originated in the fifth century. The custom of women popping the question on Leap Day is still enjoyable and lighthearted, even though it has changed throughout time and is no longer rigidly followed.


It represents a departure from social conventions and gives women the freedom to choose an empowering and playful approach to managing their relationships.
The Leap Year custom of a woman popping the question to a guy, whether it's a big or small gesture, serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries and that anyone can take the risk and pursue a lifetime of happiness with the one they love. WATCH: On February 27, Disney+ will host the highly anticipated launch of FX's new series "Shōgun."

The bestselling book by James Clavell is adapted into an original film called "Shōgun," which takes place in 1600s Japan at the start of a civil war that would last a century. Producer Hiroyuki Sanada plays "Lord Yoshii Toranaga," a man fighting for his life against a coalition of opponents on the Council of Regents.

The English pilot of the mysterious European ship, "John Blackthorne" (Cosmo Jarvis), arrives with secrets that could help Toranaga tip the scales of power and destroy the powerful influence of Blackthorne's own enemies, the Portuguese merchants and Jesuit priests. The ship is discovered stranded in a nearby fishing village.

The destiny of Toranaga and Blackthorne is intricately linked to their interpreter, "Toda Mariko" (Anna Sawai), a mystery. The final member of a disgraced line and a Christian noblewoman. Mariko must balance her obligation to her late father, her newfound friendship with Blackthorne, and her adherence to the faith that kept her alive while serving her master in this volatile political environment. Unusually for an American production, "Shōgun" boasts a highly regarded Japanese cast, which includes Takehiro Hira as "Ishido Kazunari," a formidable character, Hiroto Kanai as "Kashigi Omi," the youthful leader of the fishing village where Blackthorne's ship was discovered, and Tadanobu Asano as "Kashigi Yabushige," a notorious traitor and close ally of Toranaga.
