A folk custom for a folk forum. Prolly some songs about it, too.

For anyone not familiar with the tradition, February 29th is honored in some parts of the US as Sadie Hawkins day, the day when unmarried women are allowed to pick (or in the case of Lil' Abner, capture) the unmarried male of their choice and commit matrimony. An ancient tradition fallen on hard times since surely no one consideres it inappropriate for a woman to propose marriage these days.
