The Proposal of marriage often has a ritual quality, involving the presentation of the engagement ring and a formalized asking of a question such as "Will you marry me?". Another common form of marriage proposal is "You're WHAT?!"
It is traditionally the man's task to propose to the woman, but this is no longer universal. In the United Kingdom and Ireland the 29th of February, in a Leap year is said to be the one day (coming round only once every four years) when a woman can propose to her partner. As a monarch, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom had to propose to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In some cultures it is traditional for grooms to ask the bride's father for permission before proposing.
