This past week has been one of the most unforgettable of my life. 

Between all the planning, preparation and trying to keep everything a secret so Emma wouldn’t suspect a thing, I somehow managed to pull off the biggest surprise of all proposing to her. 

On top of that, bringing together both our families and my closest friends for an incredible surprise party was something I’ll never forget. 

I’ve been completely overwhelmed with love and excitement, especially yesterday and I honestly can’t thank everyone enough for the effort, support and pure love that’s gone into making this all happen. 

She had no idea every detail landed perfectly and now I’m just so excited for everything that’s ahead of us.

So for those wondering “how the hell did she not know I was about to propose with a photographer there?”

Let me walk you through it…

Honestly I’m even surprising myself with how high my stress tolerance is. Between masterminds, secret proposals, family parties, work and months of planning I basically lived a double life.

Step 1: Operation father in law

Before anything else I had to get her dad over to Dubai. I took him to @banya_forrest (because where else do you ask for a man’s daughter’s hand than in a sauna wearing dressing gowns a gnome hat sweating it out between beers and ice baths?) Not your typical setting but it worked.

Step 2: Mission Impossible (The Ring)

Back and forth to the jeweller to get it custom made. Measuring her ring size without her realising was a task in itself…felt like MI5. Once it was ready I hid it in the boot of my car under the rear wheel lining for weeks because I knew she’d never go near it.

Step 3: Planting the seed

Last year she said she never got the perfect birthday photo so I used that. @alessiosoricaro (who’s always filming with me anyway) came to Europe for “work.” I told her he was helping get that dream birthday shot. She bought it. Hook line sinker.

Step 4: Mastermind mayhem

Before any of that could unfold I ran my @apexagency___ mastermind with 12 entrepreneurs in Marbella. Trying to host lead and coach while secretly planning a proposal? Chaos.

Step 5: The proposal

We were staying at Villa Padierna. She had no clue. I’d bought her the perfect dress months earlier to match the setting. I’d already visited the hotel and planned every detail with Alessio, the route, the spot, the camera angle. 

Then finally the moment came. I dropped to one knee and as you can probably tell from the video I was shaking like a shitting dog. But it was perfect. We followed it with a private dinner overlooking the golf course.

Step 6: The grand finale

A week later I secretly flew in my entire family and most of hers for a surprise engagement party at Nikki Beach with our closest friends. She genuinely had no idea.

Not sure how I did it but it was surreal…never again!! 😂
