“Thanks to all who shared, liked and enjoyed our moment. My new followers are welcome here, too.

Jack proposed to Sonny at Marion Bay Beach. We drove there on weekends so that Sonny could run free and play in the surf, chase sticks, and do other things.

Jack and I often enjoy listening to the best music while driving there and talking about the beauty of Hobart/Nipaluna, how blessed we are to live here.

“We selected the song to which I would walk down the aisle on the exact same drive, and it was a song that brought us together in gratitude for our lives with Sonny.

“The best thing about Jack’s proposal is that it was simple yet meaningful. And of course, he knew I would appreciate having a video of it to look back on, we didn’t realise so many others would also experience feelings of joy and love watching it too. But we’re glad.’

Viewers then took to social media and shared their reactions to the heartwarming scenes.
