HOW THEY MET: Gail and Derek met when she hired him as her gardener. Sparks began to fly right away between the two.

THE PROPOSAL: Derek surprised Gail with her favourite chocolate, Lindt, and insisted she opened the box right away. She then spied there was a velvet love-heart amongst the selection. When Gail opened up the heart, an engagement ring was inside. Derek then got down on one knee and proposed.

celebrations there. It was also Derek’s 50th birthday while they were abroad so they marked this occasion too.
