AFL hero stuns with choice of proposal backdrop
Richmond premiership player Daniel Rioli is engaged to TikTok influencer Paris Lawrence.
The AFL player pulled out all the stops for his proposal and even hired a helicopter to get to the picturesque setting near the peak of a snowy mountain in Queenstown, New Zealand, where he popped the question.
“FOREVER,” he wrote on social media, with a picture of the moment he got down on one knee to propose, with the beautiful mountains in the background.
“I can’t wait to marry the woman of my dreams.”
His fiancée also took to social media to share the delightful news, with the caption: “My best friend and I are getting married."
“(I) instantly cried. Whenever I look at this particular pic I cry again.
“In our love bubble. God I love him.”
In one of the photos Lawrence proudly showed off her ring as the couple snuggled up to one another.
Rioli’s teammates were quick to congratulate the couple on their engagement.
"Congratulations that’s unreal ❤️," teammate Jayden Short wrote.
"Congrats guys," added Noah Cumberland.
Tayla Broad, wife of Rioli’s teammate Nathan Broad, commented: “Oh my god!!!! How gorgeous. Congrats guys ❤️ soak up all the love.”
Fans also offered their congratulations and love for the couple.
"Wow what wonderful news this is , congratulations Daniel on this milestone in your life," wrote one fan.
"Congratulations you two! So happy for you both," added another.
