CARYS And it’s not that far on the train! I love taking the train!

[Close up on Patrick as he reaches into his pocket, and takes out the ring box.]

PATRICK [whispering]I hope you won’t think ill of me for not getting down on one knee, but I will fall right over if I try and get out of this picnic table.

CARYS [giggling]I won’t. I mean, I will! For the other bit. It feels wrong to say ‘I won’t’ right now.

[Close up on Patrick opening the ring box.]

PATRICK Carys Cadwallader, getting to know you has felt like finding another half of me. I think you’re one of the kindest people I’ve ever met,which makes sense because you’ve dedicated your life to working with animals and teaching children. I love that about you. That goodness makes me want to be more like you, and to learn from you. I can’t imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?

CARYS I will!

[Medium shot as the pair laugh and Patrick places the ring on Carys’s finger.]

Scene:Pre-proposal interview with Lina

Couple:Lina and Zack/Cobey

Location:Thames riverside

[Close up on Lina as she looks out over the river.]

PRODUCER [voiceover]So, can you tell us about what’s happening today?

LINA I am pretty sure I’m getting proposed to twice. You’d think that would be a good thing but… I have to break one person’s heart.

[Cut to shot of Zack and Lina sitting in the centre of an old cinema, with theatre-style velvet seats. On screen are images from Zack and Lina’s dates.]

LINA [voiceover]I really love his energy. He’s just so sweet and thoughtful.

[Cut to aerial shot of Lina and Cobey on a tugboat sailing down the Thames.]

COBEY I wish I could have got you a fancier boat.

LINA It’s a very nice boat, Cobey.

COBEY But I wanted to bring you to the water. It’s a metaphor thing, isn’t it.

[The boat lists suddenly and Lina retches over the side. Cobey leaps to her side.]

LINA [voiceover]Haha, yes, he’s very attentive. I’m just worried it’d be such a big life change for me.

[Cut back to the cinema where, on screen, Zack kneels down and holds out a ring. Still seated, Zack presents the ring to Lina.]

[Cut back to Lina looking over the river.]

LINA It feels very head and heart at war. I don’t know. What do you think?

Scene:Proposal

Couple:Dolly and Warren

Location:Primrose Hill, sunset

[Opening shot on slow zoom of Dolly and Warren standing at the top of the hill, the sky pinkish orange behind them as the sun sets.]

DOLLY It’s so beautiful up here. I’ve never seen London look like this.
