She said yes.
Continuing their tradition of simple questions, Adriano planned one of his most important questions thus far.
For Adriano’s birthday, Ameliah had organised an entire day of surprises – which had included a planned photoshoot to celebrate the start of the day.
Unfortunately, it had to be rescheduled. Since the photographer she hired was one of her best friends, Marie, it was absolutely an incredible opportunity for Adriano to surprise Ameliah instead…

The Planning
Collude with Marie to convince Ameliah in moving up the rescheduled photoshoot to November 11.
Note to Marie: Ensure Ameliah is unaware of the real reason for rescheduling.
STEP 1
STEP 2
November 10: Adriano to pick up the ring.
STEP 3
Brainstorm a code phrase with Marie.
“I’m getting sweaty!”
The Proposal
November 11, 2023
On the day, Adriano was extremely nervous. He was making sure he didn’t lose the ring so he had his hand in his pocket the entire time… and Ameliah almost caught on.
The photoshoot went on without a hitch, taking adorable photos in the woods of Wattle Park
These shots captured their quirkiness, playfulness and showcased their genuine connection while being silly.
Although Ameliah was suspicious, she had no clue that in less than 2 hours, she would have the key to Adriano’s heart on her finger.
The hour ticked by and Adriano searched for the perfect spot and the perfect time to ask one of his most important question yet.
As Marie began setting up some final shots for the day, she directed Ameliah’s final pose to prep the big moment. Meanwhile, Adriano was setting himself up to pose the question.
As Ameliah tossed her hair from side to side as directed, Adriano got down on one knee with teary eyes and waited for the moment of realisation.
When she did finally realised he wasn’t standing anymore, and had a ring box open waiting for her, Adriano asked Ameliah to marry him (in Malay!)
“Adakah awak akan berkahwin dengan saya?”
~ Adriano
(Adriano’s Translation)
English: Will you marry me?
(Direct Translation)
English: You WILL marry me.
