A romantic at heart Sam proposed to Jodie on a piece of driftwood during a Christmas getaway to the Daintree Rainforest in December 2012.

'We sat down on his giant piece of driftwood ... he looked a bit nervous,' Jodie told Yahoo 7 last year.

'I had no idea, I think until he started talking about me being his wife one day. And I was like "are you proposing" and he was like "maybe I am" and then he pulled out the ring and it was real.'
