Woman agrees to marry boyfriend after he proposes 43 times: ‘Should get a Guinness World Record'
It took over 2,500 days, 43 proposals, and one very determined man, but in the end, love won. A woman has revealed that she agreed to marry her boyfriend after he proposed to her 43 times over seven years. In the unique love story of Luke and Sarah, unshakeable faith in love turned into a happily-ever-after. 36-year-old Luke Wintrip had been wanting to marry Sarah, 38, since 2018, but despite his extravagant proposals, she kept turning him down.(Representational) 36-year-old Luke Wintrip had been wanting to marry Sarah, 38, since 2018, but despite his extravagant proposals, she kept turning him down. Wintrip went to extraordinary lengths to make every proposal special. He hired a castle in Prague, went horseback-riding on a Jamaican beach and set up several candle-lit dinners, but Sarah's answer never changed. Recalling the first proposal, Sarah said that it happened when the two had been together for only six months. Marketing CEO Sarah said of the first rejection: 'I just said, 'No, we've only been together for six months. "I loved him, but I didn't want to say 'yes' to something I later retracted," she told The Sun. But Luke vowed to keep persisting. Six years later, on the 42nd proposal, Sarah told him: 'Next time you ask, I'm going to say yes, but just you wait.' He waited another year and took up residence in Greenwich in South East London, the home of Greenwich Mean Time. 'This is the centre of the world, and you are the centre of the world, and I want you to marry me," he said. This moved the mother-of-three: 'He finally won my heart," she conceded. "He should probably get a Guinness World Record. I am grateful he persisted for so long.' In May this year, the couple finally got married in Jamaica.

Bonnie Blue's documentary is disgusting but her mum's exploitation is equally gross – she has utterly failed as a parent
AS a new documentary about Bonnie Blue hits Channel 4, a particular clip has sent shivers down my spine. It features her mum, Sarah, saying something that, quite frankly, I find deeply disturbing: "If you could earn £1m in a month, your morals would soon change and you'd get your bits out. 7 7 'I don't care what people say. They all say they have all these high morals, but no way, not for £1m a month." My instant reaction? I completely, utterly disagree. Let's rewind a bit. For years, I was a Page 3 girl. I understood the nature of the industry I was in, and I set clear boundaries for myself. I would never, ever have gone further than topless. That was my line, and I stuck to it. No amount of money could have made me compromise on that, even for the kind of "stunts" Bonnie is performing. I always said I would only do topless and nothing more. I've turned down some publications in the past as I felt they were too sleazy. I didn't even bother to ask what they wanted me to do, I just said no. I was offered £30,000 to pose for Playboy 25 years ago - a sum that would be significantly higher today. And I turned it down. Why? Because it simply didn't align with my personal moral compass. It wasn't about the money; it was about what I felt was right for me. I don't regret anything because I stuck to my guns and only did what aligned with my morals. Get to know Bonnie Blue ahead of her new documentary Fast forward to today, and the world of OnlyFans is huge. I'm regularly told by people in that industry that I could earn a fortune if I set up a page. I know someone that earned £100k in six months, but they started pushing their boundaries when the money dropped. But there is absolutely no way I would ever do that. My sons Striker, 15, and Rocky, 19, who I share with my husband Tom Williams, would be mortified, and again, it just doesn't align with the boundaries I've meticulously set for myself and my family. I have posed in my bikini and underwear and accepted cash for that, but my red line has always been very clear: no nudity beyond topless. It makes me sad because I want to know how Bonnie actually feels because I don't believe she is happy for one minute Nicola McLean That boundary has always been sacred to me, safeguarding my values and my family's peace of mind. This brings me to another, more unsettling point about Bonnie Blue 's documentary. We need to seriously question why her mother is seemingly encouraging her daughter to engage in these outrageous acts, especially given that she's "on the payroll." It's absolutely gross. As a mum-of-three myself, I would be absolutely devastated if this were my child. It feels like she's not thinking about anything but money, and honestly, I'd feel like I'd failed massively as a parent. Family on payroll I don't know many mums that would be comfortable taking money from their child's earnings, especially when those earnings come from having sex with over a thousand people in 24 hours. That, in my opinion, speaks volumes. If she were a friend of mine, well, she wouldn't be anymore… It makes me sad because I want to know how Bonnie actually feels because I don't believe she is happy for one minute. I feel like by her family being on the payroll, they are exploiting her. She's supporting a lot of people, but who's supporting her? I think she's been blindsided by money, and her mum is going along for the ride, which is beyond anything that I could do as a mother. 7 7 I don't think I can say her mum is pushing Bonnie to do it, because it appears that it's fully Bonnie's idea, but I do think her mum is certainly supporting it, encouraging it, and making it normal. If her mum wasn't working for her and wasn't cleaning up the condoms and wasn't saying to Bonnie that she shouldn't be doing this, then they would not be normalising it as much as they are. I may not be as rich as Bonnie Blue, but by sticking to my moral compass, I can look at myself in the mirror and be proud. And let's not forget the recent controversy around OnlyFans, where they actually took action against Bonnie Blue. In my view, they did the right thing. Barely legal teens She has made the entire platform feel seedy, especially when she spoke about sex with "barely legal teens." Can you imagine if a man said that? The outrage would be seismic, and rightly so. In fact, the comparison is unavoidable. Andrew Tate is rightly called out as dangerous, and I believe Bonnie Blue is the female equivalent. She's a predator, going as far as standing outside universities with signs that read "f**k me for free!!!" This isn't about empowerment; it's about pushing boundaries to a dangerous and exploitative level. And that's a line I, for one, will never cross. The documentary ends as Bonnie is about to head to Romania to meet influencer Andrew Tate, who is facing rape and human trafficking charges, which he denies, and is a self-proclaimed misogynist. Bonnie says: 'He's probably just as controversial as I am. Whether people love him or hate him, he's a marketing genius.' In the film, Bonnie, a 26-year-old former NHS recruitment worker from Derbyshire, whose real name is Tia Billinger, says: 'The last time I went out by myself was probably about six months ago. Now it is not that safe.' Director Victoria asks her: 'You talk about female empowerment, but how do you square that with aligning yourself with the most misogynistic male on the internet?' Bonnie says: 'Piers Morgan interviews serial killers all the time. It's not messed up his brand. He [Tate] has been labelled multiple things by the media, and so have I. We're probably the two most misunderstood people out there at the moment.' 7 All of that sounds simply mind blowing - and feels frightening. Looking back, there isn't a specific photoshoot I regret, largely because I always stayed true to my boundaries. However, I can offer a warning: the pressure to constantly push boundaries for more money is immense in this industry. It's a slippery slope, and it's easy to lose sight of yourself. The money can blind you, and that's a dangerous place to be.

Bonnie Blue's mum: ‘If you could earn a million pounds a month, you'd get your bits out'
OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue's mother has said those who judge her daughter's sex stunts would quickly alter their opinions if they could earn as much as her. The 26-year-old, real name Tia Billinger, has made over £1m a month on the subscription-based platform through a series of extreme videos, which show her being passed around by groups of men in balaclavas. In Victoria Silver's Channel 4 documentary 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, it was revealed that Blue has placed her family members on her payroll so they receive 'some of the rewards' from her work. Speaking in the documentary, Blue's mother Sarah said: 'Was it something I'd have chosen for her to do? No. I was really shocked. Would I want her to do anything else? No.' She explained: 'All you want is for your kids to be happy and she is happy. She's got no daddy issues, she's not been abused – all these things people insist that must have happened to her. It's her choice.' Sarah admitted that since her daughter's adult content creation career took off, people who were previously friendly with her 'now think it's OK to leave nasty comments' online about her child. She reflected: 'Most of the time I just laugh because if you could earn a million pounds in a month, your morals would soon change and you'd get your bits out. I don't care what people say. 'They always say they've got all these high morals, but no way. Not for a million pounds a month.' Elsewhere in the documentary, Blue recalls how, one New Year's Eve, she left family waiting for her to finish filming content for her subscribers in the other room. 'It was funny,' she said of the unusual arrangement. 'They were all waiting in silence next door.' In a two-star review, The Independent's Olivia Petter dubbed The Bonnie Blue Story 'sad, uncomfortable and prurient viewing'. Of Blue, she wrote: 'as soon as she removes the camera, her face falls, almost accidentally slipping into an expression that's somewhere between exasperation and boredom.' 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story airs on Channel 4 at 10pm on Tuesday 29 July.

'Really, really scary': Dave Ramsey urges caller not to join grandma's scheme to deceive IRS about $1 million debt
Sarah and her husband rent a place in Los Angeles and are expecting their first child. But she called into The Ramsey Show because of a tricky situation involving her mother-in-law, homeownership and the IRS — one that caught host Dave Ramsey off guard. Why? Because this caller's situation includes $1 million in debt and potentially deceiving the IRS. 'Sarah, there's just so much going on here that you're not talking about or you don't know,' Ramsey said in a clip posted July 12. 'And it's really, really scary. There's a line of crazy running through this conversation.' Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) You don't have to be a millionaire to gain access to this $1B private real estate fund. In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how Here's what was revealed during the exchange. A questionable situation Sarah's mother-in-law currently lives with the couple in their rental home. However, Sarah says her grandmother-in-law has offered to buy her mother-in-law a house in Sarah and her husband's names so her mother-in-law 'is not docked by her unpaid debts from the IRS' — and the three would continue to live together in the new house. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Personalized rates in minutes A quicker path to financial freedom Your Path to Homeownership 'She has a lot of unpaid debts and so grandma is trying to take care of her by providing a home,' Sarah said. Her mother-in-law, 55, is going through a divorce and lost her job in September after a corporate restructuring. Right now she's making DoorDash deliveries to bring in some extra cash. She's also apparently $1 million in debt. When Ramsey asks why her mother-in-law is almost $1 million in debt, Sarah responded: 'I don't ask questions.' Sarah says she adores her mother-in-law, but wants to know if this setup would be a wise decision and, if so, what they need to 'have on paper.' Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it Why this is unethical Ramsey answered clearly: 'I would not do this.' He said, by doing so, 'you are tying yourself to people you don't ask questions about, permanently, and you are taking away her reasons for getting back on her own feet. This is not good. It is not healthy.' He said Sarah's mother-in-law needs to recover from the grief that comes from ending a marriage and experience 'what's known as a life — not hiding at her son's house from reality.' Secondly, 'the whole reason to do this is to deceive,' he said. 'Your grandmother-in-law is teaming up with her daughter and using you guys to deceive the people that she owes,' Ramsey said. 'This is deception and I'm not going to participate in that. It's a lack of integrity. It's unethical.' Ramsey guessed the debt belongs to the mother-in-law's ex-husband — perhaps unpaid IRS debt from a failed business venture. It's possible the mother-in-law had nothing to do with it, in which case she could potentially get rid of the debt using innocent spouse relief. Innocent spouse relief can 'relieve you from paying additional taxes if your spouse understated taxes due on your joint tax return and you didn't know about the errors,' according to the IRS. 'I got a feeling she didn't buy purses to get to a million dollars [in debt],' Ramsey said. If the mother-in-law qualifies for relief and grandma wants to give her daughter some money to clean up any debt that's left over, 'I got a feeling it's not going to be that much,' Ramsey said. He also believes this is a better option than buying a house under deceitful circumstances. 'That would be the ethical thing,' he said. 'Try to settle it.'
