Is there a proposal story? It was a simple but meaningful proposal, Jon was getting our son Hayden dressed in his PJs in Hayden's room, then Jon called me into the room and said 'aww Hayden has wrote mummy on his chalkboard and wants to show you'.

Hayden was only one-and-a-half years-old, do I walked into his room, looked on the chalkboard and it said 'Mummy will you marry daddy?' and Hayden was sat on Jon's knee and Jon had the ring in his other had.

At first I was shocked with disbelief and said 'nooo' as in no way is this happen, but then I immediately said yes!
