Love Stories ❤️ Brooke & Nathan - The Proposal
So, in September 2023, Nathan decided it was time.
A mystery picnic was something Brooke had always wanted to do, so Nathan organised a Yarra Valley Mystery Picnic. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans. It was cold, wet and windy all day, but that wasn’t going to stop them. They spent the day following clues sent via text, with each answer leading them to their next destination. Along the way, they visited bakeries, cheese shops, chocolate stores, wineries, delis and fruit farms, collecting treats for their picnic.
Their final clue led them to De Bortoli Winery, where Nathan had organised one last surprise. Waiting for them was a picnic blanket amongst rugs and cushions, surrounded by flowers and softly glowing candles. Despite the cold and rain, Brooke was completely smitten by it all. And then she saw the sign…“Will you marry me?”
Before either of them could get the words out, they looked at each other and the tears started. The nerves, the love and all the years they had shared suddenly came pouring out. Nathan was so overwhelmed with emotion that he forgot one fairly important part of a proposal… getting down on one knee. 😂 Through her happy tears, Brooke looked at him and said, “Aren’t you going to get down on one knee?” Eventually, he did. And even more importantly… she said YES!
