Romeo teacher Paul Davison proclaims his love in public for partner Linda Holmes every year on Valentine's Day.
Each time he comes up with a classic stunt, ranging from decorating a double decker bus to plastering the streets with messages of love.
But this year, 41-year-old Paul is really pushing the love boat out.
The couple, of Burdett Avenue, Westcliff, will marry on Sunday at the Avenue Baptist Church in Milton Road, Westcliff, during a special Valentine's Day ceremony.
Paul said: "Linda and I have been together for around nine years and for the past four I have always arranged something special for Valentine's Day.
"Getting married has got to be the most romantic thing of all."
The pair are inviting other couples along to the ceremony on Sunday at 10.30am as the church is celebrating the event as part of National Marriage Week.
Paul said: "Others are welcome to come along to celebrate their marriages."
