“I don’t identify with labels, I’m just in love with my person and it feels really beautiful that we’re getting married and can have this future together,” she said.
‘It’s definitely different, a few years ago I never thought I’d ask a girl to marry me, I thought my future lay with men, but I’ve never been so happy in my life and I’ve never been so into love in my life – this is my love.’
Katie said she made the very elaborate surprise proposal by telling make-up artist Georgia that she had booked a Valentine’s Day themed job for them.
Katie said she secretly set up the setting, complete with candles and flowers, at Tamarama Beach, where they went for most of their first dates during the Covid pandemic.
“The only way to fool her because she is so busy all the time and works seven days a week so the only time to catch her off guard and go away for two days was to pretend it was work was,” Katie said.
‘It worked really well and we ended up booking this beautiful accommodation, it was absolutely perfect. She had no idea.”

About her elaborate lie, Katie continued, “I acted to Georgia like we were doing a Valentine’s Day job. I pretended it was a Valentine’s Day job at AirBnB and she didn’t know I had the AirBnB set up with candles, flowers, her favorite champagne, champagne glasses that said “Georgia Williams” because she’s going to take our last name, and the date we met met.
‘I bought 100 candles and her favorite flowers. Because I pretended it was a job, she came to Tamarama Beach at sunset, which is a special place for us because we met in lockdown and most of our dates – the first six months of our dates – were the Bondi to Bronte did .
‘I wanted to do a sunset proposal on the beach, in the east, somewhere around Bondi. She thought it was a job and I had cameras and a videographer, and she got the fright of her life because she thought it was a Valentine’s Day job.”
Georgia admitted she was completely stunned by the proposal because although they had discussed engagement rings, she didn’t expect Katie to get down on one knee that day.
‘She really helped me so much. I didn’t think this would last another six months. We talked about rings and she said she couldn’t find anything I liked,” Georgia said.
Looking back on the proposal, Katie revealed she set up a beautiful beachside proposal, complete with flowers and candles (pictured), keeping it all a Georgia surprise.
Georgia admitted she was completely surprised by the proposal because even though they had discussed engagement rings, she didn’t expect Katie to get down on one knee that day.
‘And I was like, “Me too, I can’t even find anything” and I was trying to find inspiration pictures and I was like, “Honey, it’s really hard!” and she said, “I know.” She got me right! She even got her manager to write a fake job email!’
Katie cheekily said she had pretended their accommodation had been canceled at the last minute to delay Georgia and ensure she arrived right at sunset for the romantic proposal.
Katie and Georgia’s parents were both in on the epic surprise, with Georgia joking that she didn’t understand why her dad rushed to get her to the beach on time when he dropped her off.
Their gorgeous proposal was captured on camera, as the happy couple looked overjoyed in the special moment when Katie got down on one knee and popped the all-important question with a stunning diamond ring in hand.
Of her engagement ring, Georgia said: ‘I’m over the moon with the ring. It is so beautiful! It’s very big, I’ve never worn something so precious in my entire life! I’m a little scared to wear it.’

“It’s everything I could have wanted – I didn’t even know what I wanted – but she made it happen and designed it and was part of it. It’s so beautiful, but it’s definitely eye-catching,” she added.
Katie said the sun shone for her proposal after a week of rain and her healer messaged her just one day before telling her it was time to take it a step further, despite her having no knowledge of her plans.
The couple also looked ahead to their wedding, telling Ny Breaking Australia they just wanted to spend the special day with their family and might have a three-day wedding festival.
“We don’t know what we want to do for a wedding, but we’re going to start planning one soon because we want to have babies within the next two years,” Katie said.
While Georgia added: ‘My ideal – and I think it would be Katie’s too – would be to have a three-day festival with the whole family somewhere on a big site, just have quality time and rejoice.
‘That’s the most important thing for me, it’s the little moments leading up to the big day, it’s not just the eight hours on the day of the ceremony, it’s everything around it.

‘I really want to make the most of that, and also of the time with our families.’
Looking toward their future together, the couple said they hope to get married next year and start making plans to start a family together the following year.
‘We talk about it all the time, I think we’ll do a wedding next year and babies the year after that. We definitely want babies, wedding planning and then babies,” Katie said.
“As soon as we have a backyard and I can grow some vegetables, the babies will come,” Georgia added.
Things haven’t always been smooth sailing for the couple. Katie also shared how Georgia helped her get out into the public eye and deal with cruel trolling.

“For me, coming out was quite a challenge in front of the public, it was made a lot easier with Georgia. Georgia has dated boys and girls since she was 16 and has never felt the need to identify with any label,” Katie said.
‘She just was herself and fell in love with the person. Meeting Georgia changed my life forever, she made the process of coming out a lot easier. Coming out in the media comes with a lot of responsibility, there’s a lot of pressure, you want to make sure you’re saying the right things and that you’re representing the community in a great way.”
“The trolling has been really big, I’ve had some really serious trolling,” she added.
Katie and Georgia first confirmed their romance in August 2021 and things have been going strong ever since, and they are now looking forward to their special wedding day.
