She wrote on Instagram "Just when i thought it was going to be another normal week. I awoke to find Trent had other ideas. Walking through an incredible Redwood forest on a chilly afternoon in Melbourne - Trent asked me to marry him and without a doubt I happily said yes!
"I couldn't be happier to spend the rest of my life with this guy."
