In what could possibly be the best-kept-secret ever on The Block, it turns out Shannon has been secretly engaged this whole time.
Chatting to Woman’s Day, the 35-year-old surfer from Tasmania revealed he is set to wed his long-time sweetheart, Lisa, in the new year after he surprised her with a truly unforgettable proposal the night before he moved into the Glasshouse.
The handsome painter pulled out all the stops for the life changing event. And with some help from friends, it went off without a hitch.

Until now, the happy couple who have known each other for years but have only been dating for a year-and-a-half, have kept their exciting news under wraps.
“I got the news I was going to The Block and I thought, ‘I need to snag this woman before I go off for four months’,” Shannon said.
“I took her out for dinner at a really nice restaurant and had already booked a hotel room where I’d set up a gypsy tea party in the room,” he says proudly.
“I built a little teepee, I got a stylist in, flowers, heaps of candles, fairy lights, music and 20 different rugs and carpets scattered everywhere.”
When the lovebirds finished dinner, they went for a walk along the beach before going back to a hotel where the big surprise awaited.
“So we walked to the hotel… and when she walked upstairs to the room and saw the ring, she cried for 20 minutes,” Shannon said.
“I didn’t really know what to do. I said, ‘Are they happy tears or sad tears?’ And she said, ‘They’re happy tears!’”
Shannon says what he loves most about his wife-to-be is her “ability to capture life,” and her “bum.”
“She’s got the hottest bum I’ve ever seen in my life,” he smiled.
