Jenny Blake flushes with excitement as she proudly shows off her engagement ring.

Despite being together for only six months, Mark, 31, and Jenny, 34, are certain their future is together. But while their engagement is meant to be, Mark's proposal didn't go as smoothly as planned.

"I wanted to take Jenny out for a nice meal," he says. "I took her to a pub, but when we got there, the footy was on. So I took her to another place, which is usually romantic, and there was an 18th birthday on. They recognised Jenny and kept coming over to get her autograph. It wasn't exactly the best place to propose."

Undaunted and determined to pop the question, Mark packed a picnic, and at 5.30 the next morning took Jenny to a romantic spot near his farm in Narrandera, southern NSW, where the couple live together.

"The sun was just about to come up," says Jenny. "Mark spun around and asked me to be his wife. I was blown away."

It was only in January that Jenny, the first female farmer on hit show The Farmer Wants A Wife, faced the heartbreak of her failed romance with Owen. But ironically, when Jenny signed up for the show, she already knew Mark.

"We'd been friends for 10 years," she explains. "I'd always liked Mark, but he was a bit younger than me, so I never looked at him in that way."
