The reality TV lovebirds are set to say ‘I do’ after a romantic proposal…
Blue sky, a deserted shore and a heartfelt message written in the sand: “I love you, Joey. Will you marry me?” It was an idyllic setting for a perfect proposal.
Farmer Rob Hodges — a man who knows his weather — waited almost a week to pop the question to photographer Jo Fincham, the girl he met on reality TV.
Everything had to be just so. But The Farmer Wants A Wife favourite wasn’t expecting a rogue wave, which rubbed out his first attempt at a message before Jo got to read it!
“We both love being outdoors, so I thought it was such an appropriate place to ask her to marry me; in bathers, covered in sunscreen and wearing sunglasses,” grins Rob, who made his carefully planned proposal on holiday at Little Cove, Noosa Heads, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
“I had to make sure no-one was around. I had to get the stars aligned. While she was still swimming, I wrote in the sand, got out the ring and put it on her towel. It was all ready…
“And then the water washed away my message. Thank goodness it didn’t get the ring as well,” jokes 43-year-old Rob.
