Santa helped a dad of one to make a magical marriage proposal to his long-term girlfriend today -and their infant son was also part of the special occasion.
Barry Clarke said he decided to get a helping hand from Santa as his partner of 10 years Suzanne loves Christmas and he wanted to surprise her, writes the Irish Mirror .
The 34 year-old from Shankill, Co Dublin, said he also wanted it to be a surprise for their son Cameron.
The happy couple were bringing the two year-old to see the Arnotts Santa when Barry had the idea and he asked the bearded one and staff at the store to help them out.
Barry told the Irish Independent they "loved the idea" and were delighted to play their part in the perfect festive proposal.
He said there was "no greater gift" for his fiancee who is "Christmas-crazy" and the loved-up pair are now looking forward to tying the knot in 2018.
