Edinburgh Oasis fan Shell Hodge will never forget the Gallagher brothers reunion show at Murrayfield.
While the band was performing her favorite song, Slide Away, her lovestruck partner of six years, Dwayne Yuill, got down on one knee and proposed in front of a sold-out Murrayfield show, reports The Record.
Thrilled Shell, 40, said: 'I was singing along and the next thing Dwayne's on one knee holding out a ring.
'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.'
