Added investment team member Catrina, who lives in Edinburgh: ‘‘The first film we saw together in 1986 was ‘An Officer And A Gentleman’.

‘‘Mark proposed just as 
Richard Gere proposed to Debra Winger – and I said ‘yes’.

Lovestruck Mark (23), Mitchell Place, Falkirk, a process operator at Enichem in Grangemouth, arranged the Sunday surprise with the Falkirk cinema. He hired the theatre for a private viewing and arranged for their first date film to be shown.

Mark said: ‘‘There would have been a fight if she’d said no!

‘‘I did it the right way and went to see her father to ask his permission.’’
