We can’t stop going ‘aawww‘! A couple of days ago, our favourite model couple, Acquin Pais and Mariia Cherniakovych left for a trip to Paris, Barcelona and Lisbon – amazing right? What we didn’t know was that he was planning to propose to her while they were away. I’m guessing Mariia didn’t have a clue either, here’s what Acquin told us…

Well I had the ring wrapped inside a coral rock, the plan was to take her to the beach in Portugal and then just throw it on the beach and say ‘Look, wow that’s a nice stone right?‘ and and she would take it open it and find the ring. But since someone told me about this small town called Sintra – it looks like it’s come straight out of Game of Thrones. That small town has 5 huge castles around it and it’s absolutely stunning.

And then…

So what I did is take that coral rock which had the ring in it and head to Sintra. What I didn’t know was when and which castle. So we went to one and it was a bit too colourful and too bright, not our type. Then another which was ok-like, and then we came across moorish castle and this was just us – raw, rugged and all kinds of grey. So Mariia obviously has no clue and we walk inside until we come across this beautiful view of the valley, and while she is looking the other way I take the coral and stick it as one of the rocks on the castle wall and say, “Hey look that’s an odd looking stone“, and she was all “No don’t touch it, someone must have placed it there“, until I said “Just get it, it looks interesting!” She did, and voilà it was nicely wrapped inside.
