Everything changed after one trip
Couples who travel together stay together, and this power couple in the making celebrated Christmas together in Mexico before jetting out to Africa seven months later in a vacation that would change everything. George and Amal went on safari in Kenya in February 2014. Amal’s favorite animal was giraffes, therefore this was a dream come true. George, unknowing to her, had other plans for her—marriage. He later discovered that it was looking through images from the trip that confirmed him that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Amal.

Planning the Proposal
Amal had captured George’s heart. When he got to Los Angeles, he showed a buddy a snapshot of Amal from their vacation and felt he had to propose. “I had a picture of her looking back, smiling at these giraffes, and I said, ‘I think I’m going to ask her to marry me,” he told The Hollywood Reporter later. Naturally, the star acted quickly to put his plan into effect. Celebrity proposals are frequently grandiose affairs, but that’s not how the Clooneys do things. Instead, George kept things private between the two of them and gambled on a romantic meal at home.
