7:26 pm - 02.26.04 Sadie Hawkins Day Leap Day, February 29 -- also known as Sadie Hawkins day -- is traditionally a woman�s day to ask a man out or even propose marriage (but that�s not to leave the men out!). This custom started long before the comic L�il Abner made Sadie Hawkins day a popular idea in the 1930�s. It reportedly began in Ireland in the 5th century when St. Bridget convinced St. Patrick to allow one special day that a woman could propose. If the man refused, he was to be fined. (Incidentally, Bridget proposed to Patrick and he said no � and we don�t know if he paid a fine :-). Some 1,600 years later, there are no fines (whose idea was it to stop that?), but women still have this day every 4 years set aside to profess their love.
