SPOTTED IN DUBLIN yesterday evening.

Someone, named Lucy, has apparently proposed to her fella via Des Kelly Interiors.

If this isn’t love, then we don’t wanna know what love is.

Say YES ALEX.

Unless, you’re the same chancer (marketing genius) who put this one up in 2012… HMMMM we say, HMMM.

    Why. You don’t know these people. Why wish hurt on this woman expressing one of our most natural and powerful emotions? I wish them both well whatever they decide. Good luck Lucy!

    It’s still a democracy here. If that “tool” as you called him wishes to spend his money on billboards that’s his choice. This is not North Korea. So who’s the tool now, Tom ?
