Sweet TRNSMT video as loved up couple get engaged on stage in front of their favourite band

Romance was in the air at TRNSMT festival over the weekend for this loved-up couple.

Paul Murison proposed to his girlfriend in front of cheering crowds at the River Stage on Saturday as their favourite band looked on.

The 42-year-old from Aberdeenshire had been planning the romantic gesture for weeks when he decided to seize the opportunity after being invited along to Skylights show at the festival.

After managing to make it through a poem he had typed up on his phone, Paul got down on one knee and popped the question.

Speaking to Glasgow Live, he explained: "I had the ring for a while and I was just trying to plan something that would be very memorable for Kerry.

"It just so happened that one of our favourite bands invited us down to TRNSMT as we've become quite friendly with them. I thought that it could be the perfect chance to do it.

"I spoke to Turnbull Smith from the band about going up on stage and he was all for it.

"We decided to do it early on in the set and that they were going to invite me on stage. As soon as I got up there my mind went blank - I had planned a whole speech but couldn't remember any of it.

"I just took my phone out and read a little thing I had written down. The crowd knew what was happening and was doing the 'oooohhh's' before I got down on one knee."

Luckily for Paul, his gesture paid off and shocked Kerry, 32, was quick to agree.

The happy couple got off stage to enjoy the rest of the show and were inundated with congratulations from members of the crowd.

The pair, who have bonded over their love of music, are set to see Skylights again soon for what we're sure will be another extra special show.

Paul explained how the couple had met during the first easing of the covid restrictions three years ago and have been inseparable ever since.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
