Forget say it with flowers,  Diarmuid Farrell said it with something much tastier when he proposed to his long-term girlfriend Karen Menton.

Inspired by her love of Alphabetti on toast for dinner, the Longford man decided to spell out exactly what he was thinking.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Diarmuid revealed that it took only one can to get all the letters he needed!

Karen, who is originally from Mullingar, explained how Heinz have now gotten involved after hearing about the romantic proposal and are now offering special limited edition cans that just feature the letters M,A,R,Y and E so couples around the country can have their own romantic proposal.

The couple are getting married in September, and Karen told Dermot and Dave that despite the best efforts of their loved ones, there won't be an Alphabetti cake on the big day.

It certainly brings another meaning to 'toasting' your engagement.
