This Real Engagement will give you a serious case of wanderlust! For her 30th birthday, partner Mark spirited Reema away to the cradle of South Africa to experience the best that the country had to offer... Heartland adventures were carefully mapped out by Mark, from glasses shared in the nation's lush winelands to putting their camera through its paces on a master class and climbing rock faces for the most panoramic views possible! These wildly wonderful activities put Reema all in a spin and she couldn't help but feel that a proposal was on the way, in fact, everyone around them had been convinced from the moment they took to the sky.\nAs their holiday came to a close, Reema felt the slight creep of disappointment - it seemed that, as the sun set, it wasn't going to happen. All of this, because Mark had something far more meaningful in mind! Coming back down to earth, the couple had settled back into their life at home in Kew Gardens and it was just any other Tuesday night. Swapping the safari for the London commute, Reema hadn't expected anything special. Her clever, clever fiancé though had been doing some calculations. He'd worked out the very night it had been 1111 days exactly since they'd started their life together and, it was on this night, that he chose to propose.\nThis had so much significance for Reema and for them both as a couple: The moment turned out to be a celebration of the two together, reflecting Reema's very own lucky number, 1111 and, she hadn't seen it coming! From South Africa to London, Mark and Reema have planned to hold their wedding day in Kew Gardens and, the ring itself is beautifully engraved with 1111 days. As far as memories go, theirs are sure to be truly lasting.
