Love was in the air when the evening performance of Catwalk Arts in Warkworth drew to a close on August 27. Sheral Anand, 24, from South Auckland, was on the catwalk modelling her own creation, Shernique, when her boyfriend Divesh Goundar, 25, of Pokeno, jumped on stage, went down on one knee and proposed in front of everyone.
Unbeknown to Sheral, Divesh had earlier secured the permission of the organisers, Lesley Ingham and Shona Pickup, who helped make it happen.
“My only fear was that she might say ‘no’,” Ingham said. But luckily for Divesh, the answer was a resounding “yes” and the couple are planning two weddings in a year’s time – one in New Zealand to honour Sheral’s Christian faith and a second big Indian wedding in Fiji to honour Divesh’s Hindu faith.
