MARRY ME?: Waikohu team player Ethine Reeves made a vow to ask his girlfriend and mother of his son to marry him if Waikohu won the rugby final on Saturday. She said “yes”.
Waikohu and Poverty Bay star fullback Ethine Reeves was not just a winner on the pitch after his side’s 40-26 history-making Lee Bros Shield victory over YMP at the weekend.
The 25-year-old fencer at Otara Station proposed to his partner Tessa Ward after the final whistle . . . and
Tessa accepted.
“We’ve been together for a while now and I made a vow to myself that if we won, I would ask Tessa to marry me.
“Tessa didn’t know what I had planned — I had someone in the crowd hold the ring — but she wondered where the money (for the ring) went from the bank account, so it was a good thing we won.
The couple have not set a date for their wedding.
