intoxicated Mr Mullucks required assistance getting home, and the second time, Matthew\u2019s son Jonty had scoffed too much chocolate and, well, no need to go into detail.<\/p>\n<p>But the third time\u2019s a charm and in front of the Chelsea Bridge, he made his big speech: \u201cI love you. I love you for who you are. I love you for all the places that you\u2019ve been and come back from. I love you for all the things that you\u2019ve shown me, and all the places we have yet to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo will you come with me Trixie? Will you come with me, as my wife?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After fishing the ring out of the Thames following a moment of madness from Matthew, he placed the band on her finger and the pair shared a passionate kiss. They then headed back to base to share the news with their friends and see in the New Year together.<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\" data-placement=\"&quot;Body&quot;\">\n<p>Speaking about the upcoming wedding, which they\u2019ve not long finished filming, George said: \u201cThere are a few moments [of stress]. It\u2019s a stressful occasion. And especially because he lives in Chelsea and the family has titles and there\u2019s a lot that goes with that, so I think it\u2019s a big occasion and a huge thing to plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>George also said that it was \u201creally nice\u201d being able to film without COVID restrictions, adding: \u201cSuddenly, not only could we kiss, we could actually pretend to deliver babies, we could touch the hand of a patient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe touch, which is so important in caring for the community, came back and it adds magic across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call The Midwife season 12 arrives on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 1st January 2023.
