Wedding bells will soon be ringing for former Bachelor SA contestant Jozaan Digue and her boyfriend, Stephan du Preez.
The blonde lawyer was one of the final two in the first South African adaptation of the reality show which saw contestants competing to win the heart of entrepreneur and model Lee Thompson.
Lee eventually chose makeup artist Gina Myers, but that relationship didn't work out.
Jozaan and Stephan, who both live in Pretoria, crossed paths long before the show.
"We met at a concert in Pretoria when we were very young," she says.
Love only began to blossom years later, after the series, but it was worth the wait. Stephan popped the question in late December, after the loved-up couple had been dating for two years and seven months.
They were on holiday overseas over the festive period.
"It was our first time together in Austria and the Czech Republic. He asked me on the Charles Bridge in Prague. It is the oldest bridge in Prague – 665 years old," Jozaan tells YOU.
She had no inkling he'd be popping the question that day and when he slipped the ring on her finger it felt like a dream come true.
"I prayed for him for so long. I can't look at my ring enough, it's absolutely perfect," she says.

Without a doubt, the highlight of their vacation was the engagement and experiencing the Austrian Alps together.
It was also the first time Jozaan experienced snow.
"It's unreal! It's the first time I've seen snow like this and been able to walk in it like that," she says.
She can't yet reveal a wedding date.
"It's still too early to say, but I'm incredibly happy!"
