The pair were students at Nottingham Trent University in 2006 and now live in Greenwich, London.
But Nick spent ten months creating a video, with cameos from the couple's friends, old clips of them and references to their time at the university.
He persuaded her to come back to Nottingham for a birthday party, then played the 11-minute video at the student's union bar, in Shakespeare Street, where they first met.
He then asked her to marry him and the party turned into a surprise engagement party.
"It was the perfect proposal," said Cherie. "I love surprising people but to have it done to me was amazing.
"The level of detail was incredible. We have an in-joke about a broken suitcase wheel and there was one in there."
"She was completely blown away," said Nick, 29, who studied furniture and product design. "It's about the only time in her life she's been speechless."
Nick said he needed to out-do Cherie's birthday surprise when she secretly got him ten days off work and took him to Vietnam. Friend Matt Wallace, owner of Janno Productions, which helped make the video, agreed to host his 'birthday party' while Nick told Cherie he was in Glasgow for work. "She didn't think it was that strange that a video came on at Matt's birthday," said Nick. "Then her friends started appearing. There are so many little references, she can watch it again and again and always find something new."
As Cherie watched, family and friends appeared from behind a fire door.
"When I was watching the video I refused to let myself believe it was a proposal," Cherie said. "It was only when my family and friends from home appeared that I believed it."
The video includes a dance by Cherie's cheerleading friends from her time as vice-chairman of the Trent Tigers squad.
Even the timing of the video was triggered by one of her favourite three songs - Dakota by the Stereophonics.
"It's that extra layer of detail that made it extra special," said Nick.
"I don't know what she's going to do next to better it."Read more here:evening dresses uk
