A bride-to-be from the Netherlands has told of her “shock” after her boyfriend proposed at a bridge dedicated to Black Sabbath in the band’s home city of Birmingham.
Sam Bok, 24, and her now-fiance Anton Greve, 23, are both heavy metal super fans, and took a one-day trip to the city while on holiday in London last month.
Birmingham is widely considered the home of the genre, but Ms Bok still could not believe it when her partner got down on one knee at the Black Sabbath Bridge.
“It sounds like a cliche but it was the happiest day of my life so far,” Ms Bok said.
