And yea we learned this of YouTube at home. It was meant to be a p*** take but we actually kinda killed it,” she captioned the clip.Dasha dance InstaGavrilova wore a strapless white gown, while Saville looked the part in a tuxedo.Saville is a doubles specialist, ranked 23rd in the world and Gavrilova is the world No. 418 — having slid down the rankings from a career-high of 20.She underwent surgery for a foot injury in February, which she said at the time she’d been battling for years.“I’ve had this injury since 2016 and non surgical treatments just never worked and I’ve had enough pushing,” Gavrilova said earlier this year.Speaking in 2018 about their engagement, Gavrilova revealed how Saville proposed to her.“He proposed on the beach, and he was like, ‘You would have been suss about anything else, because if I was dressed up — we never dress up — if we were dressed up, you would be waiting there in the restaurant or something’,” she said.“So it was on the beach, and it was meant to be a beach recovery. So we came from tennis. He was p***ed off with me because I was – I shouldn’t say that – but I was doing Christmas shopping for decorations, and I took forever. He already had the reservation. He was confident that I was going to say yes.“So we get to the beach and he was like, ‘I can’t find a (place to) park’. I’m like, ‘Come on. Hurry up’. But he wanted to find a parking spot near the pier and propose there. That didn’t happen. I was just like, ‘Park here, this is fine, we’ll walk’.“So we went down to the beach. And there were so many people, it was like, ‘Oh, God’. I’m taking my tights off because we’re about to get in the water. And he’s like, ‘There’s too many people’. And I’m just like, ‘What are you talking about? Let’s get it over with. I don’t want to sit in the cold water for that long’.“And then I see the box, and he’s like, ‘I’ve got a question to ask’, and then he proposed. He didn’t get down on his knee, but he asked. He was like, ‘Can I not get down on my knee?’ “I was like, fine. Sure. Because I didn’t want it to be a big thing.”
