Haley: ‘I turned round and Nathan was down on one knee…’

You know me, I’m a sucker for films that end with a wedding. And come on, how better to start the event than to ask Haley Mendez how she was proposed by Nathan Lake….

“So I was not happy, I was pretty grumpy, but Nathan was like “come on, let’s go for a walk, let’s get some fresh air”.

“When we got to the top of the hill, he was left a bit behind, I was walking in front of him, I turned back to see where he was, and he was on one knee…

Who knew he had that much romanticism in him…”
