Wedding bells are ringing for Gemma Collins and Rami Hawash who got engaged last month in a lavish proposal in the Maldives.The TOWIE favourite, 43, was left stunned when a relaxed dinner on the beach turned out to be a romantic proposal, with her beau Rami asking her to marry her with a "huge sparkler". "I thought we were just going on holiday for my birthday," Gemma exclusively told OK!. "I can’t believe I didn’t know anything was going on.
I’m usually on the ball but I had no idea." Gemma and Rami first got together 14 years ago but they are finally ready to tie the knot after Rami surprised the reality TV star with "hundreds of roses" and light up letters reading 'Will You Marry Me?'.
In the lead up to the big moment, Rami organised thousands of roses - Gemma's favourite flower - to be flown in from the capital city, Malé in order for it to be perfect for his soon-to-be fiancée. "There was a lot involved in the lead up to the engagement and it was a lot of pressure," Rami laughed when we caught up with the pair for an engagement photoshoot. "We were on an island with no car, so the staff at our hotel helped pull it off. "I did my best to keep everything quiet.
Even before dinner, I was acting like nothing was going on so Gemma wouldn’t suspect anything," he continued. Gemma, as Rami had hoped, was none the wiser as she headed down for a romantic dinner on the beach. "That day we were chilling by the pool and it was so warm I just let my hair dry naturally for dinner and didn’t put on any make-up.
