A Leap Year comes once
every four years and it’s a time when women can propose to men, for one brave Chelmsford woman who stuck to Leap Year tradition and proposed to
her man on one of London’s most famous sights - and he said yes!
Traditionally,
only women can propose to their partners on the day that comes around just once
every four years, Jessica Lee got down on one knee and
publicly popped the question to her boyfriend Christian Bailey on the famous
London Piccadilly Lights yesterday, February 29. Jessica said: “Proposing to Christian publicly on the
Piccadilly Lights was nerve wracking and exciting all at the same time”
After a chance
encounter on a train from London back to Chelmsford, Jessica and Christian got
talking and realised that although they had both grown up in Chelmsford,
sharing lots of mutual friends and both attending Our Lady Immaculate Primary
School, they had never actually met, the couple went on to realise they were both born in St John’s Hospital in 1979 and
travelled to many places at the same time, without crossing paths, many people
will call this a coincidence for Jessica and Christian they call it fate. A
source for Absolute Client Services has said “February 29th only comes every four years, so we see more
and more people now making the most of their leap year, making it memorable for
them, We ask women the question everyday ‘Would you propose to your man’ Most
of the women we put that question to say they would wait until the leap year,
So it is no surprise that we see more and more women taking that leap”
Jessica’s
opportunity to propose came about through the annual Love Notes campaign run by
the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) charity shops during National Heart Month,
which is part of the BHF’s flagship Red for Heart fundraising campaign. Jessica won the competition with her entry about how she and
Christian first men. A source for Absolute
Client Services said “This charity is
amazing to give this couple a chance to make their ‘Leap Year’ memorable they
give Jessica the chance to propose, it’s such a heart warming tale and one you
would expect to read in a children’s story book” Jessica said “I entered this competition by posting a
Love Note to him on the Chelmsford BHF Shop window and now I’m engaged to the
love of my life.”
February 29th 2012 will always
remain a special day for both Jessica and Christian that is what ‘Leap Year’ is
all about taking that extra leap to do something you would normally shy away
from doing. The British Heart Foundation is an amazing charity to give people
this great opportunity for 2012 it was Jessica and Christian who knows who will
be next in 2016. A source for Absolute Client Services said “This was such a wonderful story of love
and brings a smile to the hearts of all readers; We wish Jessica and Christian
all the happiness, We at Absolute Client Services cannot wait for the next four
years to see more women take the leap.”
