Elderly couple 'over the moon' after engagement on Co Tyrone's Blackwater Barge

A former president of the Rotary Club in Dungannon has spoken of his delight after a romantic engagement to his fiancée on a boat trip on the Blackwater Community Barge in Co Tyrone.

Gerry Boyle hired the boat with partner Ursula last week where he got down on one knee and popped the question.

The elderly couple first met two years ago at a Rotary Club meeting and now hope to tie the knot next year.

Gerry became a widower three years ago, and told MyTyrone that he was overjoyed when Ursula accepted his proposal.

“I knew she wanted a formal proposal as she had told me that, and I was trying to think of how I could do it a bit differently,” Gerry said.

“The idea of the barge came into my head and I managed to get it exclusively for my use on that Sunday afternoon.

“The two crew men and ourselves went up the Blackwater, and just after we turned at the Moy I asked one of the crew men to take a photograph.

“After I handed him the camera I turned round to Ursula, went down on one knee and produced the ring.

“She knew there might have been a proposal coming but she didn’t know when it was going to happen. She was totally flabbergasted.

“We are thinking about getting married in the middle of next year some time.”

Gerry from Benburb and Ursula from Portadown first met by chance at a Rotary meeting and something clicked instantly.

“We first met by chance at a function for the Rotary Club when I was joint president and doing my meet and greet.

“I started chatting to her and something about her just clicked with me. I did nothing about and then I eventually asked her out for a coffee and thankfully she said yes.

“Covid brought us together quicker than we anticipated and that was it really.”
