AN EAST Lothian man has told of his successful proposal to the "love of his life"... in a local Lidl store! 

Andrew Stevenson, 36, of Prestonpans went down on one knee in the vegetable aisle of the town's High Street store on Wednesday afternoon. 

His now-fiancée Kim Graham, 35, is currently living in Ayr but is planning to move to Prestonpans after finishing her readings at the University of Strathclyde in English studies.

Following the successful proposal, Andrew and Kim spoke to the Courier all about their romance, after meeting through an online dating site three months ago.

Andrew, a charity worker in the town and vice-chair of Prestonpans Community Council, told the Courier: "You go to Lidl for so many things, like shopping and doing everyday things like that, and it suddenly popped in my head that she was the person that I wanted to spend my life with.

"I just thought, Lidl isn't your most traditional place to propose, but I wanted to be different, I wanted it to be a day that we both remember and we both will remember getting engaged in Lidl for a very long time.

"That is effectively why I did that: I did it because I love her and my heart and mind were aligned that I wanted to marry this woman and that is why I proposed. It was just love at first sight."

Kim told the Courier: "Andrew is the best thing I got delivered online and I know our relationship will stay fresh, natural and full of unexpected romance and humour.

"I love that Andrew can make me smile and now, every time we go shopping, I will remember that Andrew loves me so much you proposed to me with my messy hair and sandy shoes, and you and I [Andrew] both know that the most important thing is building a life together filled with joy."

Andrew and Kim have already been putting their knowledge of music into action, with Andrew recently releasing the song 'Rise From The Ashes' on Spotify. 

Lidl have been contacted for comment.
