This is the moment a couple discovered that they had both planned a surprise proposal for each other on the same day.

Sally Morton, 39, had planned to propose to her girlfriend Leanne Stewart, 35, a few days before Christmas during a trip to Edinburgh.

Little did she know that Leanne had the exact same plan and responded to her proposal by getting down on one knee.

Heart-warming video shows Sally getting down on one knee to propose to Leanne, who can be seen clutching to the ring box in her pocket, also ready to propose.

Both women had been planning their individual proposals for over a year and had bought rings for each other less than a month apart.

Sally, a farm manager based in Bury St. Edmonds, Suffolk, said: "It was such a special moment.

"When she got down on one knee, I remember initially thinking she was having a laugh, but then I saw her ring box and realised what was happening.

"I was just so happy that we were so on the same page without even realising it.

"Especially because I come as a package deal with two kids, even though I know Leanne has a great relationship with them, it felt really reassuring to know she wanted the exact same thing I did at the same time."

The couple met in April 2021 on TikTok and spent the first year and a half commuting between Suffolk and Edinburgh before Leanne moved into a flat near Sally and her daughters.

Leanne had asked Sally's dad for permission and told her family about her plan to propose so both families knew what was about to happen and made sure to keep it a surprise.
