38 year old Ray Smith wanted to plan the perfect proposal for his girlfriend Claire Bramley, 33, so he had the idea to take a picture everyday for 5 months with a secret “Will you marry me?” sign hidden in each one. He finally put them all together to deliver the ultimate marriage proposal and of course she said “yes”!
“I originally thought about popping the question in a hot air balloon,” said Ray
“I have been planning to propose for a while and I knew I wanted to do something romantic”
“In June we received some great news that Claire was expecting a baby, which put a stop to that plan”
“I decided to come up with my own idea to take a picture every day for five months”
“I told her I was taking the pictures to track the progress of the baby”
“Sometimes she wanted to see the pictures so I had to take more than one – one with the card and one without”
“I had no clue, I was totally oblivious to it all,” said Claire
“He told me he was taking the pictures to create memories for the baby so I just let him get on with it”
“It was really stressful putting it all together, it took a lot of hard work. She nearly caught me a couple of times but I just had to pray it worked”
Ray went so far as to tease his future fiancee about proposing
“I actually started teasing her saying 2016 is a leap year, and she should actually propose to me”
But finally, as Christmas approached, it was time
“It was all a bit chaotic on Christmas Day morning so I took her away and set it all up on the laptop. I got down on one knee and gave her a bit of spiel, and then popped the question”
