Wirral couple get engaged in front of thousands with the help of Steps

Not many people can say they’ve got engaged in front of thousands with the help of Steps but Stephen Horton can thanks to his loving fiancé.

Stephen, originally from the Wirral, got engaged over the weekend at Birmingham Pride to his boyfriend Adam Higginson. The 34-year-old head of service delivery manager recalled the experience as being out-of-body-like and is still being inundated with messages of love and support from family, friends and those who have reached out on social media after seeing him say “yes” on the main stage.

The couple have been together since May this year after meeting on Tinder. However, their love for Steps has been around for much longer, so when it was announced that the band would be performing at Pride, the two knew they needed to go. They travelled to Birmingham on Sunday, August 25, to celebrate their second Pride together having attended Chester’s earlier this year.
