Pie do!

A Wolverhampton postman caught the attention of romantics across the nation after asking for his partner’s hand in marriage – in a branch of bakery chain, Greggs!

Nick Sawyer, from North West Midlands mail centre, popped the question to his partner of two years, Carolyn Bennett just minutes after buying a diamond ring.

‘I had just been in the jeweller next door, and afterwards we went into Greggs and had a cup of tea and a sausage roll,’ he said. ‘We had talked about marriage, so it was just a case of when the proposal was going to happen.

‘While we were in Greggs I pulled out the ring and said, “Sshall I put it on now?”’

Nick’s opportunism led to much more than a ‘yes’ from his now fiancée Carolyn – it also attracted media interest with the story covered by The Sun, Metro and Express and Star newspapers.
