'I wondered what the hell was going on at first because I couldn't hear anything above the music.
'When I saw the ring, he didn't need to say anything,
'I just said 'yes' and we're both over the moon.'
The Dundee couple, who have five children between them including their two-year-old daughter together, Mirryn, said they're still 'buzzing' after a night to remember.
Shell said: 'We're both massive Oasis fans and we managed to book the tickets to see them in Edinburgh on my 40th birthday last year.
'We'd talked about getting engaged before, but usually when we were drunk.
'Dwayne really took me by surprise but his timing couldn't have been better. It was just perfect.'
Dwayne, 38, added: 'I'd asked Shell's two older children a couple of weeks before if they'd be okay with me asking her to marry me.
'I knew the Oasis gig would be the perfect place to do it and I wanted to wait until our favourite song came on.
'I was on the edge of my seat with nerves until then. I got down on one knee and started singing the chorus 'now that your're mine'.
'It's just a song that means a lot to us.
'I didn't actually say the words 'will you marry me', but it was pretty obvious.
'Folk around us started getting their cameras out and taking photos of us.
'We've been through so much together and I wanted a proposal to be memorable. She means absolutely everything to me.'

Abi and Carl's affair exposed in Coronation Street amid reckless display
Abi Webster (Sally Carman) and brother in law Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) have been playing with fire in Coronation Street as they've starting meeting up for passionate encounters. In a tight-knit place like Weatherfield where the net curtains are forever twitching, it's only a matter of time before somebody works out what's going on. And the person who discovers the illicit affair is probably the worst person possible apart from Kevin (Michael Le Vell). It's Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford), who is the human embodiment of the phrase 'loose cannon.' Tracy, of course, is a bit partial to Carl herself and has taken every opportunity to flirt with him. She's at it again in an upcoming episode and Carl is flirting back – partly to cover for the fact that he really only has eyes for Abi. Even so, Abi is cross when he lets slip his room number at the Chariot Square Hotel to Tracy, but Carl appeases her and they arrange to meet up later at the hotel. When Carl gets to his room later, anticipating meeting Abi, he's pleased to find she's already there and is in the shower. But as the bathroom door opens there's a shock. It's Tracy. Carl later reports back to Abi that Tracy turned up at the hotel and that he rejected her advances. But did he? Abi's not sure and she's not best pleased. With Debbie (Sue Devaney) encouraging Tracy to try again with Carl, there's still tension between Carl and Abi. He tells her that as long as she's still sleeping with Kevin there's no reason why he shouldn't sleep with Tracy. Abi's supposed to be going on holiday with Kevin, but she tells him she can't find her passport and urges him to go on ahead of her and she'll join him when she's sorted the passport situation out. Meanwhile Tracy is once again at the hotel with Carl, but this time he tells her he's in love with someone else. He's shocked when she immediately correctly guesses who the someone else is. How is he going to talk his way out of that? The following night Abi and Carl take advantage of Kevin and Jack (Kyran Bowes) being away and Carl stays the night at number 13. Abi dashes out to buy some lager because it's thirsty work, and Tracy sees her. More Trending Meanwhile, Debbie has let herself into number 13 to do a spot of cleaning as she believes the house is empty with the family away on holiday. She takes a dizzy turn and collapses, and Carl – who's been hiding upstairs – rushes down to look after his sister. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

The end ‘sealed' for Charity and Mack in Emmerdale as row explodes over sad loss
One could say the writing has been on the wall for Emmerdale's Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) and Charity Dingle's (Emma Atkins) marriage ever since she agreed to carry her granddaughter's baby. Mack was very clear at the beginning of the surrogacy saga that he did not want Charity playing surrogate. But after a lot of emotional blackmail and her disregarding his feelings for Sarah Sugden's (Katie Hill), he cracked and gave it his blessing. He later admitted to Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) that he only said yes as the probability of it being successful was so low. Mack later had to eat his words after the embryo transfer and it seemed like everything was going ahead. But then devastation hit – Mack convinced Charity (Emma Atkins) to go for a walk, where she slipped and fell, accidentally destroying the embryo. Mack foolishly revealed he was secretly pleased, causing Charity to kick him out. Mack felt forced to consent to a second try, which saw Charity get pregnant, and now Mack truly is facing his biggest fear of losing his wife. And yet Charity is still ignoring his needs. He wants them to spend time together, but she's too distracted with everything. Feeling rejected, Mack heads to the pub to drown his sorrows alone. Ross Barton (Michael Parr) finds him and senses something going on, so ribs him about the surrogacy. Not in the mood for Ross' particular kind of bants, Mack reveals it's the anniversary of the day they lost their baby. More Trending Mack is crushed that Charity hasn't even remembered what day it is. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

He's been lying to her all along. In response, she kicks him out, then goes on to ghost him, leaving Mack feeling like scum and that their marriage is over. Has Mack been proven right – that this baby has destroyed their marriage?

Oasis 'flooded with huge offers for 2026 shows including Knebworth' amid reunion success
Liam and Noel Gallagher could carry on their huge Oasis reunion tour into next year as offers have reportedly been put to the band as the decision is all in their hands Oasis are said to have been inundaded with offers for shows for next year following their mega reunion this year. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher put their decades long feud aside as they reunited the iconic band for a string of shows. They kicked off in Cardiff last month before heading to Manchester, London and Edinburgh. The Britpop stars are set to carry on to Dublin before moving over to the US, Asia, Australasia and South America. Rumours have already been circulating that Oasis could carry on into 2026. It comes after Paul Weller revealed the unusual reason he refuses to watch Oasis concerts. Fans are hoping Oasis will head to Knebworth House next year as they mark the 30th anniversary of their two historic shows there. It would mean they would tip rival Robbie Williams off the post as the artist to have played the most shows at the Hertfordshire venue. According to the Sun, Oasis has been offered four dates at Knebworth along with a possible residency at their beloved Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. Fake posters of a 2026 tour have already appeared online as fans hold out hope for a chance to see the brothers back in action. However, it all boils down to whether Liam and Noel are really up for carrying it on. 'They'll be having a well-earned holiday as soon as this tour finishes later this year,' a source told the publication. 'As for 2026, they've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want. But it's ultimately up for them to decide." Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! They added that it is up for Liam and Noel to weigh up if they want to "draw a line in the sand" or "keep the magic going". Yet, it is a "difficult decision". Festivals have also been holding out hope to bag Oasis at their events as they added both Coachella and Benicassim have sent offers to the band. The current tour was announced last year, almost 15 years to the date of their split, and a move that fans never believed would happen due to the tensions between Liam and Noel. Ever since Noel walked away, the two siblings have hurled insults at one another across social media and in interviews. But now, those days are firmly in the past with the two brothers walking out on stage each night holding hands, as though there had never been any bad blood.

Oasis' manager, Alec McKinlay, previously said that the current dates are the only ones that the band will be performing. He said in May: "This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press. "It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to. No, there's no plans for any new music." But Liam later hit out at the comments, saying that they came from "the accountant". Replying to a fan on X, he fumed: "Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID [Noel] so let's just take it one day at a time."
