It was a day with a difference, and Kerre Woodham used a leap year tradition to hook the man of her dreams by proposing to long-time partner Tom McIvor.
The broadcaster was one of the many women who took advantage of the February 29 custom - where women can proposeto men - to pop the question.
Yesterday, Woodham posted a photo of a card that read, "I choose you" on Facebook accompanied with the message:
"... and he chose me. I'll be Mrs McIvor - officially - within the next 12 months."
Woodham did not want to discuss the details of how she proposed to her long-time and extremely private partner but she said he wasn't surprised.
"But we've been talking about it for years and it just didn't seem to be important but I went to Cathy Campbell's funeral today and I want to see my friends at a wedding, not a funeral and Leap Day seemed too good an opportunity and everyone loves a good party, even if it is just a BBQ at home with the stereo cranked up!
