It was going to be an exciting enough night for Tauranga couple Ben Lummis and Courtney Smith, after they won tickets to see one of their favourite musicians perform at the intimate European gig.

But it became even better after Ben dropped to one knee and proposed during Sheeran's performance of 'Tenerife Sea', the couple's favourite song.

The loved-up pair continued to enjoy the concert, but when Sheeran asked if anyone in the crowd was in-love ahead of his song 'Perfect', someone in the crowd pointed them out to the pop star.

Sheeran asked for their names before telling the crowd he was dedicating that song to Ben and Courtney.

Courtney told Newshub that the whole experience "feels like a bit of a dream".

"It's been pretty overwhelming and definitely didn't expect the reaction we have got," she said.

"I couldn't believe what was happening, and when Ed talked to us I couldn't comprehend it, I couldn't even remember my name."

In an Instagram post from the evening, Courtney said: "So this happened last night... [Sheeran] asked our names, I couldn't remember mine, then he dedicated 'Perfect' to us. Best. Night. Ever."

The couple are such big Sheeran fans, their orange tabby cat is even named after him.

Congratulations Courtney and Ben!
