In a follow-up message posted to her Stories, Schoenmaker added: “Thank you for all your gorgeous messages, our hearts are completely overflowing and we feel so lucky to have such amazing people in our lives.”

“Went to Africa with my girl. I’ll be heading home with a Fiancée. Couldn’t be happier,” he wrote under an image of their silhouettes against the sunset.

Schoenmaker also wrote a post, sharing: “WOW! Thank you for all your wonderful messages! Really feeling all the love, we’re having the time of our lives. Big love to you all from me and my FIANCÉ! Wooohoow!!!”
