The Engagement

But I was like, “Okay maybe it’s coming, maybe not, we’ll wait and see.” But by God did the boy do good!”
“He brought me to see Andrea Bocelli, who I love, and he got down on one knee in the middle of the concert after one of our favourite songs! It was just incredible.”
“We went for dinner that night, the whole shebang. But I do all these things with Simon so I didn’t expect anything to happen. But he would have been a fool to miss the opportunity – we were in Berlin at my favourite singer! I was delighted!”
