Macdonald Linden Hall Hotel, at Longhorsley, is calling for couples to share their memories, and any photography, from the milestone moment they said yes to spending the rest of their lives together.

It will also treat one lucky couple to a romantic break, complete with overnight stay, dinner and access to the spa facilities.

Jeff Hodgson, general manager, said: “While we are hearing more and more about women taking the leap, we are encouraging all those in love to have the courage to ask that all important question. We want to hear from anyone who wishes to share their story.”

To take part, couples should send their story, proposal photographs and the date they said yes to [email protected] or post on www.facebook.com/MacdonaldHotels by March 31.
