Nina Dobrev and Shaun White have joyfully announced their engagement, which White orchestrated with a clever ruse involving a fictitious dinner invitation to discuss CDFA/Vogue business. Dobrev, who thrives on planning and rarely experiences genuine surprises, was led to believe she was attending an important event hosted by Anna Wintour. In reality, White had meticulously arranged a proposal to take place at The Golden Swan in New York City.
White’s strategy was rooted in Dobrev’s desire to be surprised, and he decided to propose a few weeks earlier than she anticipated, as she thought he might pop the question during a trip to South Africa for The Earthshot Prize Ceremony. To pull off the grand reveal, White enlisted his publicist to create a convincing fake invitation that included glam services and an air of authenticity. Dobrev arrived unaware, only to find White waiting for her beneath an arch of white roses. Overcome with emotion, she described the moment as shocking, admitting that she somewhat blacked out after realizing what was happening. However, she did say yes, and their friends and family joined them to celebrate this special occasion.
This enchanting engagement serves as a lovely reminder of the lengths people will go to for love and romance, showcasing a creative twist on tradition and how special moments can come when least expected. One can only hope for a splendid wedding with all their friends, including possibly a surprise appearance from Anna Wintour herself!
