A Glasgow couple have shared the moment their gender reveal party took an unexpected turn.

Amy Leishman, 25, and partner Kevin McIntyre, 30, gathered their friends and family together to watch the moment they found out the sex of their baby.

But the dad-to-be from Clydebank decided to throw in another surprise.

Instead of the filling a balloon with pink or blue confetti, to signify both genders, he filled it with silver confetti - which came as a shock to dance teacher Amy.

Kevin secretly placed a letter in the balloon, to lead up to a wedding proposal and watched as Amy read its contents with a massive smile on her face.

The postman then got down on one knee and asked Amy to marry him.

A delighted, but shocked, Amy agreed and was quick to give her new fiancée a hug and kiss.

Glasgow Times:

After the first bit of good news, the couple then found out that they were expecting a girl.

The couple went on their first date back in December 2016 and are due to welcome their first child in October.

Kevin told the Evening Times: "I actually knew her parents first, I used to be a bingo caller and they are die hard bingo players, rain, hail or snow they were always in, then one day their daughter (Amy) came in with them, I always thought she was pretty.

"I used to come up and talk to her parents a little bit more whenever she was in, well anyway, I couldn’t do anything about it because I had a girlfriend and she had a boyfriend.

"Eventually me and my girlfriend split up and her and her boyfriend split up.

"I’m not sure how or when I added her on Facebook but the following December she posted something on Facebook, I thought, ‘what the hell’ and commented on it and through that we got to chatting and then we had our very first date on Boxing Day 2016 and have never looked back since.

"Every Boxing Day we go back to the place of our first date (Slouch on Bath Street).

"I can’t believe I found someone that makes me so happy just by looking at her and I want to spend the rest of my life trying to make her feel the same way I do every time I look at her."

He added: "I was planning on proposing at some point in the next year but when we found out she was pregnant in February and she wanted to do the gender reveal thing with the balloon, a few weeks beforehand the idea popped into my head.

"I thought it was a cracking idea, I put the plan into action a couple of weeks beforehand and it went brilliantly. I couldn’t have asked any better, with all our close friends and family there as well."
