Earlier this week, on Wednesday, October 30, Shaun White and Canadian actress Nina Dobrev, shared the exciting news of their engagement. The couple gave fans a peek into the magical proposal through photos on social media, capturing the moment at New York City’s Golden Swan restaurant.
Prior to the proposal, Dobrev, who is known widely for her role in “The Vampire Diaries,” had a styling session with celebrity stylist Kate Young, thinking it was for a photo shoot. Dressed elegantly in Chanel, she arrived at a private room in the West Village venue to find White waiting for her. Dobrev was wearing a stunning all-black ensemble, featuring a sequined mini dress with short sleeves, sheer dotted tights, and a long-tailored coat that she later removed for celebratory photos. White looked equally stylish, wearing a sleek, tailored suit fitting for the occasion.
Surrounded by a beautiful floral arch made of lilies and other delicate blooms, the setting gave a unique, romantic feel to the proposal. The engagement ring, featuring a large diamond on a gold band, added a classic yet luxurious touch to the celebration.
