Turns out, the special moment was many months in the making.
"For over a year I've been planning this moment and keeping the biggest secret from Jessie. It wasn't easy, but every second was worth it," Will shared.
"I searched everywhere for the right place. I know how much she loves the ocean and the mountains and there's nowhere she loves more than home," he continued.
"Every time we come to Tasmania Jessie takes me to her favourite views and just sits and admires how beautiful Tasmania is, so when I found this spot, I knew it was the one."
