A love-struck former rugby star and his model bride-to-be have become a YouTube hit.
With a video he created of his surprise proposal on an Italian island, Garth Chamberlain, originally from Zimbabwe but now living in London, spent weeks secretly planning how he would pop the question to his girlfriend of three years, Swedish-born Tess Montgomery. With the help of Tess’ modelling agency, MOT Models, he faked a booking for her to do a modelling job at a luxury hotel on the island of Favigana near Sicily. He had secretly flown the 1,000 miles to the same location to surprise her and set up secret cameras to film the whole thing.
Garth had arranged for Tess to visit the Cas’almare Hotel in Favigana on what she thought was a modelling job. She’s seen here arriving for the ‘shoot’
The footage included shots of where they first met in Wandsworth, London, and dozens of romantic photos of the couple together on their adventures around the world.
The video also revealed how Garth had travelled all the way to Sweden (without Tess knowing) to ask her father’s permission for her hand in marriage.
She said yes! The couple then celebrate as the sun sets.
