About Leap year
Greek, Cypriot and some Italian and Romanian families hold that it is unlucky to marry in a leap year, and old rules say the same of a betrothal. The belief is not religious and the church does not teach it, but it affects the calendar, and registry offices in Greece have fewer weddings in leap years, such as 2028. Many couples simply wait for the next year.
