From bubbly in the spa pool, a candle lit meal for two or flowers and music under the beautiful pagoda.

If you are thinking of asking the man in your life to commit to a lifetime of togetherness then send your details, including your full name, address and daytime contact number to marryme@mtjpr.co.uk.

The winner will be notified immediately following the closing date and invited to a secret meeting at the hotel to discuss the requirements.

All you will have to do is get your partner to the hotel on February 29 and Park Hall will do the rest.
