Woman Says "Yes" After Boyfriend Proposes 43 Times In 7 Years: "He Should Get A Guinness World Record"
Initially, Sarah turned down Luke's proposal just six months into their relationship in 2018, citing her recent split and hesitation to commit again, especially considering her three daughters.
"I didn't expect it. I loved him, but I didn't want to say 'yes' to something I later retracted. I wanted to make sure with kids and everything going on that it was right. Luke said 'Okay, fine, but I'm going to keep asking you," she told Kennedy News about her first proposal.
For seven years, Luke showered Sarah with grand proposals, from renting a castle in Prague to candlelit dinners and horseback rides on a Jamaican beach. After his 42nd attempt, Sarah teased, "Next time, I'll say yes." Luke waited a year, then took her to Greenwich, South East London, a hub for timekeeping and navigation, home to the Royal Observatory where Greenwich Mean Time is measured.
"When he proposed, he said, 'This is the centre of the world and you are the centre of my world and I want you to marry me'. He finally won my heart," she recounted. "I think he probably should get a Guinness World Record. I am grateful he persisted for so long," she joked.

PM's Pariksha Pe Charcha enters Guinness World Record for most registrations in a month
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Pariksha Pe Charcha initiative has entered the Guinness World Record for "most people registered on a citizen engagement platform in one month", the Ministry of Education (MoE) announced on Monday. According to officials, 3.53 crore valid registrations were received during the eighth edition of the programme. Prime Minister Modi directly interacts with students, teachers, and parents as part of the Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) initiative, which aims to transform the examination season "into a festival of positivity, preparation, and purposeful learning", making exams a time for encouragement rather than stress. "Pariksha Pe Charcha has been redefined as a national approach to examinations by turning stress into a festival of learning. The eighth edition of PPC recorded a total of over 21 crore viewership across all media platforms in 2025," Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said at an event where the Guinness World Record certificate was formally presented. "The overwhelming participation in PPC 2025 is seen as a reflection of the country's collective commitment to holistic and inclusive education and alignment with the vision of a Viksit Bharat," he said. While addressing the occasion, Ashwini Vaishnaw called Pariksha Pe Charcha a unique initiative that brings together students, parents, and teachers to promote well-being and stress-free learning. PPC is an annual event in which Modi interacts with students appearing for board examinations. During the event, he also answers students' queries related to exam stress and other issues. The first edition of the prime minister's interactive programme with school and college students was held at the Talkatora Stadium in February 2018. Its seventh edition was held in a town hall format at the Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan, engaging participants from across the country and overseas.

Couple Allegedly Abandons 10-Year-Old Son At Barcelona Airport Over Expired Passport
New Delhi: A couple reportedly left their 10-year-old son behind at Barcelona Airport after discovering his passport had expired, choosing instead to board their flight and avoid missing it, according to media reports. According to the report in The Sun, Lilian, an airport worker who shared details of the incident on social media, criticized the parents' actions in a video that has since garnered over 300,000 views. She explained that the couple had allegedly arranged for a relative to pick up their son at the airport so they could continue their journey. However, the plan quickly fell apart when airport staff noticed the child was alone and alerted police, according to the air traffic coordinator. "He told them that his parents were on the plane on their way to their home country, going on vacation," Lilian stated in her video, as reported by The Sun. She added, "His passport in the country had expired, so the child was travelling with a Spanish passport, but the Spanish passport needed a visa. As they did not have a visa, they left the child at the terminal and called a relative to come and pick him up." Authorities made immediate contact with the flight's pilot, who confirmed police had informed him of an unattended minor in the car park. Eventually, the parents were identified and found to be traveling with another, younger child. 'I'm an air traffic controller, and as a controller, I've seen a lot of things, but this has been completely surreal,' Lilian said, as quoted by The New York Post. She further expressed disbelief, saying, "How is it possible for parents to leave their ten-year-old son at the terminal because he cannot travel due to documentation issues? They call a relative, but the relative may take half an hour, about an hour, about three hours, and they take the flight so calmly and leave the child behind!" "They saw it as very normal. Obviously, I didn't see it as normal, and the police didn't see it as normal either," she added. Police eventually removed the couple's luggage from the flight and escorted them to the on-site police station for questioning. It is not yet clear whether the parents were formally arrested.
