Speaking of Scarlett's surprise, he continued: "I remember the sunset, it was very beautiful. We went into the church and I got down on one knee. I told Scarlett: 'Don't be scared!' I asked her... But I actually had to ask twice!
"In the emotion of the moment, she forgot to say 'yes'. I had to ask her hand in marriage a second time to get the - yes!"
