Gabbie and Todd’s love story began back in 2016 when they matched on Tinder as teenagers. A few months later, they met in person at their local pub while out with mutual friends, and by mid-2017, their relationship officially began. Fast forward seven years, and their story took a beautiful turn with a surprise proposal at Tennyson Beach.
The Proposal
Todd proposed to Gabbie at Tennyson Beach on the 21st November 2024.
Tell us about the proposal:
My best friend is a photographer and gifted me a maternity photoshoot at almost 30 weeks pregnant. We met her down at Tennyson Beach at sunset for the perfect shots. Little did I know Todd had planned to take the perfect opportunity to get this special moment caught on camera. Only a few minutes into the shoot, Todd got down on one knee. I was so shocked, I took a while to answer because I had the giggles. I couldn’t believe how perfect the ring was. It’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of. I couldn’t wipe the smile off of my face for the rest of the shoot. It was such a special moment, especially having my very best friend there with us.
What are you most looking forward to about being married?:
Finally sharing a last name, spending the rest of our lives together as Mr and Mrs Stansborough.
The Ring
Gabbie's ring is our timeless and elegant solitaire design, Grace.
What is your favourite aspect of your ring?
I’ve always said I wanted a classic oval solitaire with a plain gold band when rings have come up in conversation, and over the many years we have been together, I have always sent Todd posts of the gorgeous rings Class A create and post on socials. He made my dream come true. I love how classic and timeless the ring is, I wouldn’t change anything about it. I think it makes it even more special that he had it custom made and picked the exact diamond for me. I still can’t stop staring at it. She’s beautiful.
Why did you choose Class A?:
I have followed Class A for many years on socials and have fallen in love with all of the rings Class A create. In 2022, I took my brother to Class A to purchase his fiancé’s engagement ring, and I find it special my partner also did the same.
I would just like to say a massive thank you to Class A for creating such a gorgeous ring I will never be able to stop staring at. We are both so incredibly happy.
Wishing Gabbie and Todd all the best on their next chapter!
