Woman asks boyfriend to marry her with a steak and an onion ring in leap year proposal

During a leap year it's tradition for women to propose to their partners on February 29, reversing social norms.


One woman from Southcote did just that - but she said it with a steak.

Joleen Williams, 37, proposed to 55-year-old Duncan Schofield with a steak branded with the message: "Will you marry me?"


Jo popped the question to her partner of one year at her local Beefeater restaurant, taking advantage of their 'M-engagement' proposal package.


Duncan was presented with a 10oz steak with the branded message, along with 'crispfetti' instead of confetti, an onion ring (in place of a diamond ring, obviously), two bottles of beer and a 'man-sized' box of tissues.


Cheers! Duncan said yes - and then probably ate the steak
