Martin, 34, a quality inspector, said: “We got talking and then when we went home, we kept in touch and went out for a date.”
The proposal happened in the Lake District.
Martin had planned to propose on board the ferry on Lake Windermere, but bad weather meant he had to rethink his plans.

For Martin, the day itself began with him getting ready at his parents’ house and Lauren began her day at the hotel where she stayed the night before.
Lauren, 30, a sales assistant, had left Martin a new watch as a wedding gift and in return, Martin had bought her some new earrings.

For Lauren, having her dad and stepdad both being part of her day and walking her into the ceremony was a memorable moment.
Martin added: “For me the day was just extra special from start to finish, it was very emotional.”
