Photos: See How This Romantic Boyfriend Proposed

admin

According to Mail Online, a romantic boyfriend gave his partner the surprise of her life when he asked her to marry him by hiring a giant billboard at the side of a road she passes on her way to work.

Paul Bakewell, 35, from Walsall, West Mids, secretly designed a poster which he then had emblazoned on the 20ft-tall advertising hoarding and covered over. The dad-of-one arranged for his partner Tara Barber, 32, to be driven past the billboard by her boss who pretended they were going to a business meeting on Friday morning.

But the pretty hairdresser was left speechless when the car stopped at the 30ft-wide poster on the side of the A34 in Walsall, West Mids.

The billboard featured pictures of the couple and the words: ‘Tara you’ve changed my life. Will you marry me?’

Romantic Paul – who had arranged for friends and family to hide on the other side of the road – then went down on one knee and proposed to Tara, who said yes. Gas fitter Paul, who lives with Tara in Walsall, said he didn’t sleep for two days because of nerves from planning the big surprise.

He added: ‘It was definitely the scariest thing I have ever done in my life. I was putting myself out there in front of so many people but I was confident she would say yes.
‘I have never been so nervous in my life planning this. It was completely nerve-wracking, I hadn’t slept for two days before Friday.
