• Glenn Maxwell’s proposal disaster, Almost

Maxwell, on Ordineroli Speaking Podcast with Neroli Meadows, had revealed how his initial plans to propose to Raman fell through and how he finally managed to pop the question, something he said he was more nervous about than playing in a World Cup Final. Maxwell planned to propose to Raman in a park, but, “we went for a walk and everything felt so wrong,” he said. “I was so confident in my head about what I was going to do and it all went to s*** basically,” he goes on to add. “Will Pucovski drives past, honking his horn and waving and I thought, ‘Well that’s ruined Plan C’. I was rattled at that stage,” Maxwell said. Mxell then decided to take Raman to a nearby public park.

“There were still kids around and people walking their dogs and as I turned around I saw Vini start to walk the wrong direction. I feel like I pinpointed on Google Maps exactly where I wanted her to meet me, so I was a bit annoyed and then told her to come back the other way. I sort of pointed her away by saying there might be a cafe over there and she sort of turned away and I got straight down on one knee. But as I got down, she still had her phone in her hand and she must have panicked and pushed a button because she started calling me. So, my phone is vibrating in my pocket like mad. And I’m sitting there with a ring in my hand shaking anyway. And she started crying, and I was like, I’m not taking this phone call. What is going on here. So she ended up leaving a seven minute voice mail and it was the entire engagement chat. “I’ve still got that on my phone. So that’s pretty cool that we’ve still got that engagement memory.”

A look at Vini’s Instagram and it is quite clear that she is very much into travelling and that too with her beau, Glenn. The couple have travelled to Paris, London, Dublin, New Zealand and much more.

Raman also wished her fiance a happy birthday on October 14, 2020, by sharing another picture from their engagement and mentioned as a side note that she loved him more than Jimmy Neesham.
