Festive movie is backdrop for couple's engagement
A TRIP to the cinema at Woolton Picture House turned into an unforgettable moment when a man proposed to his partner of 10 years on the big screen.
Jacob Molloy popped the question to Lucy during a special Christmas Eve screening of It's a Wonderful Life at the nearly 100-year-old cinema. The moment marked a full-circle moment for the couple, whose first date was at the Picture House a decade ago.
The surprise proposal was planned in collaboration with the cinema's team and drew inspiration from the famous 'cards on the doorstep' scene from Love Actually. As the screening finished, Jacob appeared on the big screen, where he revealed a series of handwritten cards before asking Lucy to marry him.
