A LOVED-up boyfriend ‘hijacked’ his partner’s big day by getting down on one knee as she starred in a performance of Pride and Prejudice.
Shane Grant, 31, proposed to actor Geneviève Lowe, 27, at the end of her final night performing in a comedy version of the Jane Austen play in Worcestershire.
It comes just days after US student Edgaras Averbuchas, 27, sparked fury by popping the question to Agne Banuskeviciute in the middle of her graduation ceremony.
Geneviève had been playing leading lady Elizabeth Bennet at an open-air theatre in Worcester.
The semi-professional actor was forced to repeat the final scene at the request of director Ben – who told her a VIP had asked if they could “redo the ending.”
But the VIP was actually Shane – her boyfriend of three years.
‘VIP ASKED TO REDO ENDING’
He hatched a scheme to propose during the scene where Mr Darcy asks Elizabeth to marry him.
Geneviève burst into tears and said “yes” – much to the delight of the audience, cast and crew.
Shane, a property manager, said: “I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to be able to ask the most amazing person to marry me in such a spectacular setting.
“And the chance, even if for the briefest of moments, to be Geneviève’s Mr Darcy.

“She thinks I was brave for getting up on stage to ask her – I just consider myself lucky that she said yes.
“The idea came to me in December, watching Geneviève in the pantomime at the Swan Theatre, Worcester.
“At the end of every performance, Robin Hood would propose to her. It pained me to see someone else proposing to her.
“I was really lucky it was Pride and Prejudice for the next one.

“I think she was a bit shocked but it’s great it all went well.”
Geneviève, who also works as a piano teacher, added: “It was such a beautiful moment. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect proposal.
“I was so happy to be surrounded by the loveliest of people, I am so very grateful for everyone at Worcester Rep, and to the audience for helping make the moment so special.
“Earlier in the year, we had been to have a look at rings, and then it went quiet. I thought, ‘maybe it won’t happen for a while’.”
