Watch as Scots mum screams in delight at surprise marriage proposal days before Christmas

A Scots mum-of-two was given an early Christmas present to remember after her boyfriend popped the question in Glasgow’s George Square.

Megan Brown’s stunned reaction was caught on camera as she turned around to find Ryan Patterson down on one knee on Tuesday night.

The couple, from Shotts, Lanarkshire, were on their way to Paolo Nutini’s gig at the OVO Hydro when they stopped off in the city centre to see the Christmas lights.

The 28-year-old was so overwhelmed that she ended up screaming and swearing - before eventually saying yes.

Speaking to Glasgow Live, Megan said: "We had just finished dinner at Bella Italia with friends and we were going to see Paolo Nutini.

"One of our friends said they wanted to see the Christmas lights in George Square but I said I was too cold and wanted the car keys to drive down.

"When we got there, everyone was acting strange and then I just turned round and Ryan was down on one knee. I was in such a shock and was screaming and swearing, I just couldn't believe it."

Megan eventually said yes, once she had screamed some more, and the happy couple enjoyed a night at Paolo after it. However, Megan was too distracted to take the gig in.

She added: "I felt like I couldn't walk, my legs were like jelly. It just didn't feel real. I couldn't focus on Paolo as I just kept thinking 'did that just happen'. It was honestly such a shock.

"I even asked Ryan how he got my ring size and he told me he bought a ring sizer on Amazon and did it while I was sleeping. I couldn't believe it."

The couple are still on cloud nine after first meeting on Facebook two years ago. They welcomed a little girl Emme back in February and are looking forward to celebrating with their friends and family soon.
