To propose or not to propose...



Tonight we had plans to go out with my brother and his fiance for dinner and movies! Initially the plan was to watch the movie "nine" however after announcing the plans to the guys, then both refused and asked us nicely to pick another movie... so we picked "Leap Year" ( I know that was mean!)

Amy Adams and Matthew Goode star in Leap Year, a romantic comedy that follows one woman’s determined quest to get married to the perfect guy…despite what fate has in store for her. When their four-year anniversary passes without a marriage proposal, Anna (Amy Adams) decides to take matters into her own hands. Investing in an Irish tradition that allows women to propose to men on February 29th, Anna decides to follow her boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) to Dublin and get down on one knee herself. But airplanes, weather and fate leave Anna stranded on the other side of Ireland, and she must enlist the help of handsome and surly Declan (Matthew Goode) to get her across the country. As Anna and Declan bicker across the Emerald Isle, they discover that the road to love can take you to very unexpected places.

I must admit... the movie at times was quite cheesy, but the "hopelessly romantic" in me couldn't help but think it was "really cute"!!

The real question though is... if you were in her shoes, would you propose or would you wait??? I

Do you think it's ok for women to propose or should they just accept the fact that if a man doesn't propose, it means they just don't want to propose!!

What would you do? Would love to hear your thoughts... and because I am in the mood to be nice, I am announcing an official contest! Submit your proposal story (it has to be the girl proposing) and the best 'female' proposal will win a "Maddy K Decor Package".

Good luck
!!!
