GOING down on one knee was not enough for romantic Pete Good, who organised a musical masterpiece to propose – which is now a YouTube hit.

The primary school teacher asked his friends and family, as well as those of his now-fiancee Jenny Sneller, to perform a dance to one of their favourite songs.

The proposal took place on Saturday, at the tunnel between Derby Road and The Park, Nottingham, to the song That's What's Up by Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros.

Jenny, 24, of Beeston, said: "I thought I was going with friends for a birthday lunch but when we got to Derby Road they blindfolded me, which I thought was a bit random.

"When I got told to take off the blindfold and sit on the back of a van, I knew something was happening.

"Pete sent me the song a few days ago and I instantly fell in love with it.

When my friends started dancing and that song started playing I realised that he had something to do with it.

"I thought the whole thing was amazing and it was all perfect.

"The fact that our parents were there was the most amazing thing about it, because to share the moment with friends and family meant a lot to us and sums us up as a couple.

"He did an amazing job and I could have never said no."

The pair met in September 2012 in Nottingham and the performance took Pete two months to plan.

The 31-year-old, of The Meadows, said: "Originally I was going to propose during our summer holiday in Seattle, which we will go on in a few days. I realised that she would be away from her parents and friends, who are the most important thing in the world to her, so that is why I decided to get as many of them involved as possible.

"It all went perfectly but was incredibly hard to keep a secret. So many people knew that it was going to happen for weeks and even though I was the one down on one knee, it was a team effort."

Miss Sneller celebrated her birthday yesterday and the video of the performance was made so that friends and family who could not make it on the day could see what happened.

Photographer Tom Frankenbury, 24, of The Meadows, said: "Pete did a lot of work towards it and he was extremely dedicated to getting it right.

"On the day it was so amazing and it went so smoothly. There were about 50 of us and it was so much fun. I am so happy for them because they are perfect together."
