You won't believe what this shopper at ALDI did that left customers swooning!

It’s a story made for the movies - a proposal and bagpipes, both inside your local ALDI! It happened in a store when ALDI worker Lynne Fuller was putting a customer’s weekly shop through the till. Suddenly, her partner Mike Durrant approached her and got down on one knee. To add to the spectacle, Mike had hired a bagpipe player dressed in a kilt to blast out Scotland the Brave as he entered the store.
Stunned Lynne, who was wearing her blue ALDI uniform, said 'yes' through her tears, to the delight of her colleagues and shoppers. The couple are now planning their wedding for 2025 - a date they’ve already chosen.
'This makes my heart melt,' said one customer of the unique proposal. Another added, 'Great what you can get from ALDI,' with a touch of amusement. 'What’s a wonderful couple,' said a third customer. 'We wish all the best and only happy days forever. Good luck, wonderful couple.'
An ALDI spokesperson said they were thrilled to have played a small part in the couple’s engagement: 'At ALDI, we're all about celebrating life's milestones with our employees, and this unique proposal will certainly be a cherished memory in our store's history. Congratulations to the happy couple.'
Unconventional marriage proposals, such as the ALDI worker's romantic surprise, have been gaining popularity in recent years, with public proposals happening in all sorts of whimsical, wonderful and truly memorable locations. From flash mobs at shopping centres to getting down on one knee on top of a mountain peak, love truly knows no bounds when it comes to popping the question.
While public proposals aren't for everyone, and they do carry the risk of a very public rejection, they certainly add an element of surprise and wonder that doesn't go unnoticed. For some, the added pressure from spectators might even up the chances of getting a 'yes'!
So next time you're out and about, be it at your local supermarket, at a sports game, a music festival or even on a plane, keep your eyes peeled for any unexpected romantic surprises. After all, as Lynne and Mike have shown us, love can pop up in the most unexpected and delightful of places.
Members, if this isn’t a heart-warming story, then we don’t know what is! One thing’s for sure - these shoppers won’t forget their visit to ALDI any time soon. Do you have a special proposal story to share? Pop it in the comments below, we’d love to read it!
