A tattoo artist proposed to his now-wife 43 times before she agreed to marry him.
Luke Wintrip, 36, pulled off extravagant proposals – including renting a castle in Prague, Czech Republic, horseback riding on a beach in Jamaica, as well as several candle-lit dinners – since 2018, in a bid for marketing CEO Sarah, 38, to say “yes” to marrying him.
Explaining the reasoning behind the first rejection, Chelmsford, Essex, East of England, resident Sarah told The Sun newspaper: “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.”
However, on the 42nd proposal, Sarah insisted to Luke: “‘Next time you ask, I’m going to say yes, but just you wait.'”
A year later, Luke took the mum-of-three to Greenwich, South East London, England – the home of Greenwich Mean Time.
He said to Sarah at the time: “‘This is the centre of the world and I want you to marry me.'”
She recalled: “He finally won my heart.
“He should probably get a Guinness World Record. I am grateful he persisted for so long.”
Despite getting married in Jamaica, Caribbean, in May, the wedding was not all smiles as Sarah battled pain and ended up in hospital with a life-threatening condition because a cyst burst in her groin.
