An engagement ring smuggled in a camera bag ensured Carla Baltasar had no idea partner Anthony Gelati was going to propose.<\/p>\n

Anthony, 29, popped the question to Carla, 24, while on a romantic trip to Singapore,\u00a0with a little help from a chocolate dessert.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the dessert came out the waiter placed the plate in front of me and removed the cloche. And to my surprise there was a cake and written on the plate in chocolate sauce said \u2018Carla, will you marry me?\u2019,\u201d remembers the bride.<\/p>\n

After a two year and one month engagement, the Perth couple had a romantic vintage wedding on October 11, 2014 at Christ the King Church in Beaconsfield.<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s 155 guests then headed to Perth\u2019s Pan Pacific Hotel\u2019s<\/a> Golden Ballroom for a three-course meal and a night of celebration.<\/p>\n

Carla\u2019s advice for future brides?<\/p>\n

\u201cEmbrace as much as you can of the day as it will go so fast and don\u2019t stress over anything on the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

A shared sense of humour is something Carla and Anthony love about each other. “We are both the biggest kids and always are laughing and making jokes. We love to make each other happy,” Carla says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
