She said yes and they headed to The Holland Tringham – their local Wetherspoons, in Streatham, south London.

Nic said: “We were told in the cab ride on day one of living in the UK that we should drink at these pubs.

“We’d never heard of them.

“Anyway, I proposed in Notting Hill, then we celebrated at the Wetherspoons.”
