The Actually Gay Men’s Chorus show I feel Love was interupted during its Saturday performance by a proposal of marriage live on stage.

Local entertainer Miss Jason was stopped in her tracks as she was presented with a gold envelope containing a message for two guests in the audience.

Ashton Geddes was invited to the stage to read a personal poem to her long term partner Kellie Cuddihy popping the question in front of the waiting audience.

Rapturous applause accompanied as Kellie accepted Ashton’s proposal and they were given a bottle of fizz courtesy of the chorus.

The chorus then dedicated their next song, One Hand, One Heart, to the happy couple which is the marriage song between Tony and Maria from West Side Story.

Ashton said: “I was so nervous during the first act waiting for Miss Jason to get the envelope, but adrenalin took over and it turned out wonderful! Thanks to everyone that made it happen!”

Bill Kelly from Actually, said: “We felt privileged that Ashton should choose the chorus to help celebrate their special moment. We would like to wish Ashton and Kellie all the happiness in their future together ………and look forward to an invite!!”
