“I had my birthday party,” she recalled. “And I walked in and my son was sitting right by this fireplace, and Blake basically was getting down on his knees to do a fire and he goes, ‘Hey, can you look in that cabinet over there and get me a fire starter?’ So I opened the cabinet and there was a ring in a box and I was like, ‘Ahhh! What?! Are you serious?!’”
Stefani and Shelton are in the process of planning their wedding. They have not revealed a lot of information, including the wedding date. However, Stefani has said the affair will be a “simple” one.
