A Christmas proposal

Love was once again in the air at RAMM when museum visitor Joseph proposed to his partner Dawn on 21 December.

With the help of the RAMM team, Joseph arranged to have a ring dangling from the tail of a 3D-printed model carnosaurus.

The dinosaur was hidden in the Geology case, ready for Dawn to find it and say ‘Yes’ exactly two years after their first date at RAMM. It was on their first date that Dawn asked Joseph what his favourite dinosaur was.

Can you spot the ring?

It is not the first time that RAMM has been chosen as the backdrop for a romantic proposal. Back in 2016, Simon Connett surprised his girlfriend Katie Jones with a handmade copper rose among the historical artefacts in the Making History gallery.

Adam also proposed to his partner Lucy at the museum in 2019. This time, the ring was tucked between a tray of moths and a medieval stone carving in the central courtyard displays.

We were honoured to share in Joseph and Dawn’s special day. The whole RAMM team wishes the couple much happiness in their married life.

We hope that these uplifting stories inspire more couples to choose RAMM for their special day.
