Anna Geary has opened up about her engagement and wedding plans.
The camogie player and Dancing with the Stars finalist explained that she was genuinely ‘blindsided’ by the proposal.
The star previously explained that she didn’t realise her boyfriend was proposing because he has a bad knee anyway.
“He killed me for saying that. He was saying, ‘the lads on the opposition are going to know now that I’ve a dodgy knee now’, but I didn’t say if it was left or right!” she joked.
Anna and Kevin Sexton got engaged at the beautiful Castlematyr Resort in Cork but the Ireland’s Fittest Family star admitted it took some time before it really hit her.
“In typical Irish fashion, I was completely blindsided and totally shocked. He was down on one knee because he’d be very traditional like that, he makes out that he’s not but he’d be very romantic behind it all.
“My first instinct was ‘what’s happened, what are you doing?’ I really didn’t realise I was being proposed to I thought something was after going in the knee and he’d have to get the cartilage done again!
“I was very calm at the time, and about two hours later when it eventually hit me I started crying. It was lovely, it was really personal and intimate and we didn’t tell anyone for a few weeks so it was our little secret,” she said.
Anna showed off her stunning sparkler of a ring on the Six O’Clock show this week and explained that the couple picked the ring after the proposal and it didn’t take her long to find the dream ring.
“The very first ring I tried on in the very first shop I was just drawn to it and I don’t wear a lot of rings obviously playing camogie,” she explained.
“I was just drawn to it and it made Kev’s job very easy, my mam was saying ‘any chance the same thing will happen with the wedding dress, first dress first shop but not a chance. I enjoy shopping too much, we’ll make a bit of a day out of it.”
The star also opened up about the type of wedding they plan on having, the 30-year-old admitted it can be a bit overwhelming but she’s looking forward to planning it all.
“People in Ireland love a good wedding and they are so curious and I’m starting to panic about how much I have to do,” she told the Six O’Clock show.
“We’re turning our eyes now to planning it which is fun, I love planning. We’re going to get married in a church the ceremony for me is the most important part and then it’s a party and you shouldn’t get too stressed about it, everything will fall into place once you have the people around you that you want there.”
