A BESOTTED boyfriend popped the question to the love of his life 43 times before she finally said yes.
Luke Wintrip, 36, had been desperate to marry Sarah, 38, since 2018.

But despite his extravagant proposals — including hiring a castle in Prague, horseback- riding on a Jamaican beach, and several candle-lit dinners — she kept turning him down.
Marketing CEO Sarah said of the first rejection: “I just said, ‘No, we’ve only been together for six months’.
“I loved him but I didn’t want to say ‘yes’ to something I later retracted.”
But tattoo artist Luke vowed to keep persisting.
And on the 42nd proposal, Sarah told him: “Next time you ask, I’m going to say yes, but just you wait.”
Luke waited a year before taking Sarah to Greenwich in South East London — the home of Greenwich Mean Time.
He said: “This is the centre of the world and you are the centre of the world and I want you to marry me.”
Mum-of-three Sarah, from Chelmsford, Essex, conceded: “He finally won my heart.
“He should probably get a Guinness World Record. I am grateful he persisted for so long.”
The couple married in Jamaica in May — although it did not go to plan as Sarah had to struggle through the pain and ended up in hospital with a life-threatening infection when a cyst burst in her groin.
