Having been a couple for more than five years, a wedding was always on the cards for Voice contender Mick Harrington and his partner Bec.
But with two young daughters aged 4 and 17 months, Harrington says finding time to propose had been difficult.
Mick smashed his audition with a rendition of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’.

“Then Katie came along and so we haven’t had time to marry.”

The 32-year-old got the idea to propose to Bec – whom he met at high school before they reconnected at their 10-year reunion – a few weeks before his audition.
“Bec is super-smart. I knew she’d be distracted by everything going on at The Voice, so it was the only way I could totally surprise her,” he says.
“I just wanted Bec to know how much I love her.”

“It was a massive commitment by her, so I took the ring along with me.”
“I just wanted Bec to know how much I love her. She and the girls mean the world to me,” he says.
