Daniel Jones To Marry

Not really Darren Related but something for all you Savage Garden Fans out there :)
Taken From: news.com.au
IT was Kathleen de Leon who got the biggest surprise at the '70s themed birthday party she organised for her boyfriend and former Savage Garden member Daniel Jones on Saturday night.
A teary-eyed Jones professed his love and proposed in front of more than 100 people – including his shocked parents – at Brisbane's GPO, and presented Ms de Leon with a plastic flashing ring.
Of course, she said yes.
Ms de Leon, a member of popular children's group Hi5, and Mr Jones met at the Logies "three years and two weeks" ago and have been inseparable ever since.
The couple plan to base themselves in Brisbane and are building a seaside house at Raby Bay, where Jones can also moor his large boat.
Originally from Logan, south of Brisbane, Jones and singer Darren Hayes hit the world stage with their hugely successful group Savage Garden, selling 20 million albums before the partnership broke up in October 2001.
Ms de Leon spends weekdays in Sydney, where she films the hugely successful children's show Hi5, and flies back to Brisbane for weekends.
On Saturday night, family and friends, including a large contingent from the rock 'n' roll industry, Tyrone Noonan from Brisbane band George and Aneiki, turned out in fancy dress to celebrate Mr Jones' 30th birthday.
Having cut his guitar-shaped cake and thanked his guests, Mr Jones took off his '70s wig and said: "I need to be serious now . . . I want to ask Kathleen a question."
While Ms de Leon proudly wore the plastic flashing ring on Saturday night, it is understood the couple will be starting their search for a more permanent symbol soon.
