Daniels announced their engagement in November with an Instagram post that is now proudly pinned to the top of her profile. In the first photo of the carousel, the couple is photographed in the picturesque Scottish Highlands, and Williams is shown on one knee as Daniels covers her mouth in shock. 

She began her caption with a few lines from the poem “My Heart's In The Highlands” by Robert Burns, before adding, “10.10.25 Glas Tol Mor 🐘🦌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏔️ in his words; ‘a suitably romantic bit of bog, high up on the hill next to a steaming gralloch’ not EVERY girl’s dream location, but that’s the beauty of it.”

Daniels continued to describe the proposal, writing, “I. cried. my. eyes. out. I still do thinking about it. I had no idea…We walked off the hill hearts full, following the glas tol burn (also known as Englishman’s burn) down to loch vaich through the ancient Caledonian pine forest in the sunshine."

"Oh, & then Adair caught a rather large pike, the hallowed Thurso wave & the Aurora danced to say goodbye as we headed south to continue the house move @herringstonhouse I know perfection doesn’t exist but…. #iloveyou,” she concluded.
