Charlie Tee, host of BBC Radio 1’s Drum & Bass show, stepped up to help a loved-up fan propose to his girlfriend in front of a crowd of 2,000 at a party under the Nene flyover in Peterborough, organised by local promoters Mixology.
Drum & bass fan Nick Clarke met his girlfriend Annie Harper a year earlier at Charlie Tee’s Unitee party at ‘Under’ - a huge three-day dance music event under the Nene flyover.
He messaged Charlie and said they were coming back to the same spot for Unitee’s early May bank holiday event at Under this year and that he wanted to propose to the love of his life.
At the event, Charlie announced she wanted to take a photo of the incredible crowd raving beneath the flyover as the traffic rolled over above and selected two apparently random people from the crowd for the photo.
Only when Nick dropped to one knee and the message ‘Nick B2B Annie 4 Eva?’ appeared on the big screen did Annie realise what was happening.
With tears streaming down her face, Annie said yes, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
Charlie Tee took to the decks to play the happy couple’s favourite drum & bass tune, 'No One Else' by Wilkinson, Kanine & Clementine Douglas, before returning to dance on stage as they all celebrated the engagement together.
The amazing moment was captured on film and Charlie Tee shared the video on social media showing how the whole plan came together.
Local fans have jumped into the comments on the video to express their joy.
Jodie Deciantis said “Loved being there to witness this” while Kirsten Nicole said “was the cutest, congratulations”.
Other fans added comments too. Heather Salisbury said: “Mate I just cried watching that, so so so beautiful!!!”, while Jack Sydall said “This is so lush! What a hero @charlieteedj is for facilitating this!”.
Drawing breath more recently, Annie called the moment ‘the best day of my life’ while Charlie Tee posted part of the well-known message, 'Couples who rave together, stay together.’
