Ginine captioned the post: "07/08/2021 'Do you want to see each other again?' 07/08/2025 'Will you marry me?'
"2 of the easiest yeses I’ve ever said.
"Thank you so much to @media_lrp for capturing the moment so perfectly for us."
She added: "Also huge thanks to our first dates producer @lauragreenetv_comedy. As Andrew said on the date 'whoever put us together knew what she was doing.'"
The comments were flooded with loving messages, one of them from comedian Laura Greene.
She wrote: "You’re both such dreamy people so thrilled I could put you together xx huge congrats."
Ginine and Andrew got on like a house on fire on their episode of First Dates Ireland.
