Moment Venezuela Fury's fiancé asks to propose at her 16th party

Venezuela Fury shocked fans last September when she revealed her boyfriend Noah Price had popped the question at her 16th birthday party. 

And with wedding preparations well under way, on the new series of At Home With The Furys fans were given a behind the scenes look at the engagement. 

Tyson and Paris' eldest daughter was over the moon after Noah got down on one knee in front of all her friends and family, just minutes after he had sat down with the boxer to ask for his permission in taking his daughter's hand in marriage. 

But it turns out the proposal wasn't a shock for her parents, as Venezuela had already told them that Noah would be coming round to ask for Tyson's approval.

While Paris explains that in traveller culture girls tend to get married younger, she still remarks that 16 is 'ridiculously young'. 

And at first Tyson doesn't seem so sure about the proposal as he asks: 'How can I let a stranger take away my baby?' and makes sure she is aware of the gravity of marriage. 

'Are you joking? He's gonna come ask me to marry me daughter?' exclaims Tyson as Venezuela breaks the news to him. 

He goes on to explain: 'Marriage is forever, the way we do it, so when you go in that church and say "I do" no piece of paper or government can undo you, as what God puts together can never been undone. 

'So it's a lifetime commitment and however old you are, 16-year-old, are you ready for a lifetime commitment to somebody you barely know?' 

'You know that for 100 per cent fact?' as Venezuela insists she does he adds: 'Then fair play because I knew as soon as I saw your mother.

'If you can get a sensible lad which he is, what more could you want.'

Speaking to the camera the sports star admits it is taking him a little while to come round to the decision as he confesses: 'I'm not entirely sure [how he feels]. It has all come around a bit soon.' 

However just days later on Venezuela's birthday it seems the boxer has accepted the idea as the engagement comes even sooner than any of them expected. 

As the girls head to the party, Noah arrives at the house to meet Tyson, remarking this will be the first one on one conversation the pair have had. 

'I drove past the gate about ten times trying to build up the courage to go in', Noah says as he arrives at Tyson's house.

Noah told producers: 'This was the first time I was talking to him on my own, I was very nervous. Of all the father-in-laws I could pick, I had to pick the world champion.

'I was practising the words over and over in me head, hoping that he said yes.'

Looking as though he was on the brink of tears, Noah began: 'I've come to ask your daughter if I can marry her.'

'When's all this come about then?' Tyson says.

'I don't know, past few months,' Noah replies.

Tyson continues: 'I'll ask you a question, you're only a young fella so I'll speak to you like one, a friend and two, me own son. 

'To get married to a young woman today is a big responsibility. Like take on a responsibility for the rest of your life. Are you sure you want to do that? 

'Because where I come from there is no believing in divorce and all that. There is no bringing her back. No divorcing after two years, when I'm 22. Don't do any of that.

'So are you sure for a young boy with a lifetime in front of you, is this sure what you want to do.'

'Yeah one million percent, yeah,' replies Noah. 

'Well I give you my blessing, you can do it. Come on then, give us a cuddle. Congratulations is in order fair play to you,' adds Tyson as the pair then head to the party for the dramatic moment. 

And as Noah enters the party it appears everyone knows what he is about to do. 

Nervously approaching his wife-to-be he asks: 'How's life' before shakily getting down on one knee and asking her to marry him. 

Venezuela of course says yes and the pair look overjoyed as they beam in snaps for the rest of the evening, with Venezuela telling cameras: 'He always told me he wanted to marry me.' 

Yet for viewers watching the series, the proposal may appear rather out of the blue, as in the first episode of the series, filmed in May, there seems to be no sign of a boyfriend on the scene, never mind a fiancée. 

As Tyson and Paris enjoy a rare child free holiday, Paris muses: 'Venezuela's 16 this year, she'll have boys round next.'

'I don't think so,' insists Tyson. 'Maybe a boy, but not boys, plural. One boyfriend then marry him, that's how it works.' 

Speaking to the camera, Paris reveals she 'would die' if Venezuela was to get married. 

'I would die, it would just be a loss of the family and to think of her bedroom being empty is so horrible but I'll cross that path if it comes.'

Venezuela went Instagram official with Noah last June while at Ascot Races as they shared a series of loved up snaps. 

The surprise engagement has echos of Venezuela's parents' romance, after first meeting when Tyson was 17 and Paris was 15 - before reconnecting and beginning a romance at her 16th birthday.
