A bride has been proposed to through a 3 ft high graffiti mural designed by her artist boyfriend.

Spray painter Stuart Barrie inscribed his declaration of love across the wall of a youth club, the Daily Mail reports.

His shocked girlfriend Lucy Rutherford was blown away when she saw the words 'Will you marry me?' emblazoned in blue letters with a red heart in the middle containing her name.

The 33-year-old was visibly shaking as she sprayed the word yes under the question and later described the proposal as "very romantic".

It took Mr Barrie seven hours to complete the artwork and he said it was worth all the effort.

"I wanted to do something different. Something bigger than most proposals, something unexpected, but in a good way," the graffiti specialist explained.

Elsewhere, rumours are circulating over where Hollywood stars Jude Law and Sienna Miller are to wed after a source told the newspaper they had been looking at venues in France.
