I confess--I had to post something today just so I can go on record that I blogged on Leap Day. I could be cliche and talk about why we have Leap Years, the traditions that go along with Leap Day (I recommend watching Leap Year), and how people born on February 29th celebrate their birthdays (the real ones and the MIA ones), but I won't.
Instead, I'm going to talk about Leap Day weddings. I'm wondering why anyone would want to get married on Leap Day? Maybe it's a good idea for the forgetful half of the couple. After all, he (or she) can't ever be accused of forgetting an anniversary for 3 years in a row since it comes once every 4 years. But when your anniversary does actually come around and you still forget it, you'll have to wait another 4 years and pay hell to make up for it.
And speaking of hell, I was surprised to learn that some couples travel near and far to get married there. Not the hell some people believe you go to in the afterlife, but Hell, Michigan. One couple even got married there today at specifically 3:33 because it's half of 666. If you ask me, I think it's bad enough that a lot of marriages these days end in hell, but do you really want to start one there? Some food for thought.
Just about to leap off the perch.
