THE enormous black and white sign hung over the side of the Queen Mary II as it sailed into Sydney Harbour on Valentines Day read "Marry me, Jess".
The 4 metre high banner strapped to the starboard side near the ship's funnel started a frantic search by breakfast television programs to find Jess.
Jess was said to be at Mrs Macquarie’s chair with her potential fiance Stefan. But television cameras struggled to find her there.
By 7.40am it emerged that the proposal was real, but it was also a carefully orchestrated PR campaign, done in conjunction with a morning television show and run by MG media.
Just after 8am ABC morning television reported that Jess had said yes. They then cut to news on Syria.
At 8.40am the Today show mysteriously found the couple, named Jess McGarrity and Stefan Libon and just happened to film them as the groom-to-be got down on one knee.
