A recent online bingo marriage proposal at a free bingo site proved that players are able to find so much more than fun at their local site. Bingo fan daddybear1 opted to propose to his partner, who is a Chat Host at his favourite site. As this was where the couple met, daddybear1 felt that this was the perfect place to pop the question to his beloved cuckoo2286.

He decided to propose during the site's Prize Hour on Friday 12 March, and let friends and fellow players know so that they could be part of the special moment. After first getting permission from the site’s manager, he typed in the special message: "I wanted to do this in FreeBingo as this is where I met my partner. Kath Cuckoo Spencer I am asking you if you will do the honours of becoming my wife."

Unfortunately, the moment was almost lost as a full house win came in just seconds after he had popped the question. The CH on duty came to the rescue however, telling everyone what had happened and giving Kath a chance to respond. After asking for a moment to think, she soon replied saying, "I thought - and YESSSSSSSSSS."

She later said, "I did miss the question, just saw someone say "say yes cuckoo lol", so I did. But it makes no difference, I will say yes,” and went on to thank the site for giving them the chance to meet. For the sceptics who claim that you can never find love in online bingo chat, this lucky couple are proof that anything is possible!
