With romance in the air on Valentine's Day, it's not surprising that many couples up and down the country are getting engaged, although not all of this year's Romeos chose to pop the question in a traditional way.

James Greig wanted to ask his girlfriend Katie Moore to marry him and bravely opted to do it on the front cover of The Observer magazine, so did she accept?

Well according to the magazine's Twitter page it was good news for this hopeless romantic as Katie said yes.

An update on the paper's website also revealed the details of the unusual engagement proposal and acceptance.

Explaining that the couple had been spending the weekend at a hotel in the Cotswolds when staff delivered the paper with a champagne breakfast, Katie told reporters she has thought it was a fake copy of the magazine not the real thing.

On finding out that James' proposal really was a public declaration of love and people across the country were waiting on tenterhooks to know if she said yes, she revealed that she had indeed accepted and the whole thing had "been wonderful".
