"People say 'I don't know what I did to deserve you' but I've told you before, I think everything I've ever done has lead me to you. You were the prize. All the hard work and all the survival got us both to where we were supposed to be: thriving beside each other. "You are without doubt the hottest, most cool, talented, hardworking, kind and spiritual soul I've ever come across and it is the world's greatest privilege to be with you." She finished her post by writing: "I can't wait to start life as a team. I can't think of a better way to start a marriage than 10 years of friendship first." When speaking to Fabulous Magazine about their engagement, Spraggan explained: "Emilia and I were those
Friends who said: 'If we're not married by the time we're 40, we'll get married to each other,' and somehow, this deep friendship opened up into attraction." Speaking about asking Simon Cowell to give her away, she said: "We'd been staying at Simon and Lauren's house for a few days. One morning, Simon was about to get in the sea and I asked him: 'Will you give me away? ' and he replied: 'Yeah! '. He then went off for a swim and when he returned, he told me: 'I'd absolutely love to. It would be an honour'."
