| John Elliot and girlfriend Ashleigh |
John Elliot 27, decided to hire a ring from a complete stranger to use as part of the romantic proposal he had planned for girlfriend Ashleigh.
He splashed out £50 to use Jenni Parker's £7,000 engagement ring after listing the unusual request for a ring online.
The unusual idea came about because John wanted Ashleigh to choose her own ring but didn't want to propose without one.
The recruiter, who lives in Balham, said: "I wanted Ashleigh to pick the exact ring she wanted and this was the only way to propose without her knowing it was happening.
"For the photos, I wanted it to be the calibre of ring she deserves. She said yes!"

John listed the ring request on Fat Llama , a website for lending and borrowing all different sorts of items.
He admits Ashleigh was a bit sad when she realised she couldn't keep the stunning ring, but says she now knows the kind of ring she wants.
He said: "She loved the ring, she was a little sad it was only for the evening but ultimately it gave her a better idea of what she was looking for."
