It took only nine months for Scott Warby to decide he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Clare Spark, the girl who stole his heart on season four of The Farmer Wants A Wife.
But it took the 30-year-old sheep and crop farmer another nine months to finally get down on bended knee at his property near Mungindi in far north NSW, produce the ring and ask the beautiful 27-year-old Brisbane girl to be his wife.
“I had the ring for nine months,” Scott says. “I found it online at a Melbourne jeweller and had it sent to Brisbane, where I picked it up on the February weekend we went to see AC/DC!”
Despite Scott asking Clare’s father Doug for permission to marry his daughter – in front of her at a family dinner – six months ago, Clare insists the recent proposal took her by surprise.
"We all thought he was joking when he asked for permission!” she laughs. “I was impressed he’d say that in front of me.” “[The proposal] was very romantic. Scott wanted to go for a walk to the bridge on our property to look at how high the river was after the rain. I was immediately suspicious because he doesn’t like to walk anywhere!"
