GEOFFREY Edelsten has proposed to Gabi Grecko outside the Emirates Marquee at Flemington today during the Melbourne Cup.
Choosing the less than private location right in front of photographers and television cameras, the 71-year-old got down on one knee and asked the 25-year-old to marry him.

While the pair have discussed their marriage plans for months, today Grecko received a stunning pear-shaped diamond which she showed off above her red leather gloves.
Dressed in what some have described as an outfit that resembled a Game of Thrones character, Edelsten was equally as audacious in a canary yellow suit and matching yellow shirt and tie.

It was almost as if Grecko had forgottent to take her Halloween costume off.
Witnesses say Gabi accepted his proposal by sticking her thumb up in the air.
More to come.
