The boyfriends, who only announced their relationship last month, have gotten engaged whilst on holiday together. It seems whilst the love birds were away Jeff was busy making plans to pop the question to Colton during an evening fireworks display.
We’re so happy for the fellas and they aren’t wasting time. As far as we can tell the guys have been dating for over five weeks, when Colton here took to social media to tell the world that he had a boyfriend.
A new survey of nearly 3,000 Brits said the location to pop the question was more important than the ring itself and that your words of love spoken during the proposal would make or break the deal for a third of them.
The survey compiled by AttractionTix.co.uk revealed the following best and worst places to propose this Valentine’s, unless you’re part of the 40% who said Valentine’s was a bad day to propose, but overall February was a good month to say ‘Will you marry me?’
So there you have it. If the mood does take you to propose to a loved one (hopefully!) this Valentine’s, then try to avoid holding a surprise party in the local chippy with the family and friends, but instead get yourself some tickets for Alton Towers, then at least if he says no you can leave him on the Oblivion rollercoaster so he can also get that heart sinking feeling.
Looks like wedding bells are gonna chime as Gogglebox star Chris Steed has set a date for his wedding!

Chris Steed, (on the right) or as you might know him as one-half of Stephen and Chris, the Brighton boys from the hit Channel 4 show, Gogglebox, has told THEGAYUK.com he’s getting married to his boyfriend, Tony, and they’ve set a date for next year.
So make sure you clear your diary for July next year, the 8th of July to be exact. The pair got engaged last year on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. They got together after Stephen and Chris, undoubtedly one of the show’s stars pulls, decided to split after the first series of Gogglebox aired.
He revealed what he’d be wearing as well. He’ll be walking down the aisle in the most expensive thing he’s ever bought – a £3000 teal suit from Dolce and Gabbana. Well, la de dar!
So will his hubby-to-be be wearing a matching suit?
Chris joked,
“He did turn around and say to me, ‘Because you just spent three thousand pounds on a Dolce and Gabbana Suit, does that mean I get a Dolce and Gabbana suit for the wedding?’ I said, ‘If you pay for it, of course.’”
Romance is not dead!
But don’t expect a huge lavish wedding, he told us it’s going to be a “family affair” unless OK Magazine want to do a feature on it, then wedding invites will be winging their way to a few celebrities.
He joked,
“If OK Magazine wanted to actually do a feature on it and pay us an obscene amount of money then we might invite a few celebrities.”
He hasn’t started sending out the invites yet, but we’re expecting our any day now!

She’s come a long way from her shaky start in the first few weeks of this year’s series of the X Factor to become one of the show’s most popular stars and now she has announced her plans to marry her girlfriend, Meri Sopanen, of two years.
Twenty-nine-year-old Saara, revealed her engagement through an interview with OK Magazine and apparently her girlfriend waited for a quiet moment when they were together at home.
It was super low-key.
Last August, on their two-year anniversary, her girlfriend popped the question, whilst the singer was in her PJs after a long and happy day.
Saara joked,
“She just said: ‘Oh, we had a lovely day…’ Then: ‘Will you marry me?’”
Meri was quick to point out,
‘We did have candles! I wanted to do it when she wasn’t wearing make-up – I love her soul.’

Chatty Man, Alan Carr, is off the market after he announced his engagement to his boyfriend, Paul Drayton.
TV favourite Alan Carr, 40, has revealed that is getting married to the love of his life, actor Paul Drayton. The big question was actually popped when they were on holiday in Indonesia last week. Despite the country’s poor LGBT rights record of late, the Lombok hotel’s management were in on the proposal.
The engagement ring was hidden in Alan’s dessert, and when he found the ring the hotel’s organist started playing Elton John’s “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and the hotel’s staff starting singing.
He said that at first he thought he had broken a filling after biting into the dessert, but discovered that it was actually a ring.
Alan Carr revealed to The Sun,
“Then the chef, all the staff came out and the manager and sang “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”, but they didn’t know the next lyric, so they just sang, ‘Can you feel the love tonight? Can you feel the love tonight?’
Speaking to THEGAYUK before he left the UK for Rio Bosworth said, that if Heathrow had the right ring he’d buy it to make his boyfriend an “honest man!”
Bosworth came 6th in his game – but managed to break a British record in the sport of Race walking.
Speaking about how the pair met Bosworth told THEGAYUK,
“My female friend decided to hit on him. She quite liked the look of him.
“Me and my other friend were sat there trying not to laugh as we quite clearly could see that he perhaps didn’t bat for that team (laughs).
“She got very offended when he said, “You’re not my type.” He was trying to be polite.
“She couldn’t understand why and it was at that point that I walked up to my friend and said, “I think he’s probably more my type, than your type.”
This cute couple just got engaged in front of a 6000-strong audience at a Jess Glynne concert.
On Thursday night, Lewis Nicholls gave his boyfriend, Darren, the ultimate surprise by organising with superstar Jess Glynne to proposed to him live on stage in front of 6000 people at her concert at the Eden Project.
Lewis told THEGAYUK that he messaged Jess’s manager weeks before the concert to say how much he loved his boyfriend and wanted to show everyone how he felt and to see if he could propose to Darren live on stage.
He said,
“To my disbelief they replied and was so excited to make it happen.
“During the concert we went on the stage (he thought it was just to watch a song) and then Jess came out and got us out on stage and introduced us on stage to the crowd.”
It was then Lewis got down on one knee and proposed – telling Darren, that he was the “happiest he had ever been.”
“It was just amazing, the crowd were cheering so loud, chanting and showing so much love, we also got a photo with Jess on stage and the 6,000 people are behind us”
Jess then hugged the pair, saying she’d “never ever forget” the proposal.

Musical theatre superstar Elaine Paige has made history on her BBC Radio 2 programme as she read out a marriage proposal from Pieter to his boyfriend Keith.
Regular Radio 2 listener Keith, was on air with Elaine Paige when she read out a moving letter from his partner Pieter. The letter was about “what love is.”
At the end of the letter Pieter popped on the line and proposed to him a first for Elaine’s programme on BBC Radio 2.

The on air proposal was met with support from many Twitter users congratulating Keith and Pieter on their new engagement.
Former KYLE XY star Matt Dallas has married his long-term musician boyfriend.
TV Star Matt Dallas has married his long-term boyfriend and musician Blue Hamilton after announcing their engagement in January 2013.
The tweet in which Matt announced his engagement was also the announcement that the actor was in fact gay. He became the first in a long list of celebrities who came out as gay or bisexual in 2013.
Posing for a photo outside a court centre the smiling pair held up their marriage certificate, with the caption, “Introducing Mr. & Mr. Dallas. The post on Instagram has had over 6.2K likes.
Since the 26th June, gay couples have been allowed to get married in the US when the United States’ Supreme Court legalised same-sex marriage nationwide.
Live on ‘Italia’s Got Talent’ TV show the members of Les Farfadais, a troupe of acrobatic dancers, had just performed a routine when one of the dancers then got down on one knee and proposed to his boyfriend said after he said “yes” the couple kissed on stage.
The stunned judges and the studio audience went wild and cheered for the couple in what the show’s producers claim was totally unrehearsed and unexpected.
Italy, of course, does not have marriage equality but has been making modest moves toward it in recent months.
In February, Italy’s highest appeals court ruled that same-sex marriage is not a constitutional right but that gay couples are entitled to certain rights and protections.
Rome’s Mayor married 16 gay couples last October in defiance of Italy’s laws. Rome has also created a register of civil unions for same-sex couples and Bologna came out in favour of recognising same-sex unions in September.
P.S. The newly affianced men had incidentally been performing to ‘the power of love’.
