Edna's whirlwind engagement 'OUR WEDDING'S GOING TO BE WILD!'

The terraces and turrets of luxe Auckland wedding venue Lone Pine Estate form the perfect backdrop for a fairytale romance. Celebrity Treasure Island star Edna Swart, in a gorgeous Grecian gown, glows in the arms of her partner Reid Stephen, giggling as the two pose effortlessly together for our Woman's Day photoshoot.

And there's a special reason for this cute couple's love buzz after only 10 months together, they're engaged!

The pair met in early 2021 when 32-year-old Edna answered a TradeMe ad to rent the downstairs apartment of 27-year-old Reid's North Shore home. He eventually became her landlord and, late last year, the live-in lovebirds revealed to us that they were both certain they'd found "the one".

Yet somehow the proposal still caught Edna by surprise!

“I had absolutely no freaking clue," laughs the CEO of skincare company Ed&I. “We'd been planning to visit The Landing winery in Russell for quite some time, and we'd had to cancel and rebook three times, so Reid knew I'd have absolutely no idea something was up going there they were plans we'd had forever.

“It'd been sunny all week and then that day, it just started pissing down with rain. I was so down! I really wanted to wear this dress I'd bought especially, but I had to wear these mum jeans and a boob tube instead. It's one of the boggiest wineries in the country - I didn't want to wear jeans!"

Laughing, Edna continues, “That morning, I would never have thought that something was going on in Reid's head. He was so calm and chill, trying to cheer me up. Finally, after a full winery tour and lots of wine tasting, followed by lunch, I was getting a bit tiddly and we were having a great time!
