Tomasel, 37, told the Herald she was “bricking it” moments before she got down on one knee and popped the question to her long-term partner Gould last month.
“I think I said about two words on the walk up there, which is not like me,” she said of the hike to the summit of Te Pare Point, which overlooks Gould’s family bach.

“Plot twist: she said yes,” Tomasel wrote on Instagram, posting a carousel of the images from the intimate moment.
“Sophia – she’s the most loyal, ride or die person, and that’s what I’ve always searched for,” she told the Herald’s Jenni Mortimer.
The couple said their wedding would defy convention by forgoing a bridal party.
“It’s kind of modern-day, it’ll just be us up there, and we don’t want to put that stress on anyone. And let’s be real, no one wants to be a bridesmaid anymore.”
