Essa, on the other hand, expressed how surprised she was when Sam popped the question.

She wrote on Instagram, "Kung kelan naka pambahay lang...

"I ugly-cried the whole time. Have to say I did not expect this proposal at all--I kinda wish I did para mas prepared ako, but it makes for a great story anyway!

"It was always gonna be an 'of course,' my love... Thank you for this wonderful-amazing experience. I am truly the luckiest girl! I love you in all ways, always [heart emojis.]"
