Actress and star of the cult TV series The Vampire Diaries Nina Dobrev has announced her engagement. She was proposed to by snowboarder and Olympic champion Shaun White in a New York restaurant. According to her husband, it's hard to surprise the actress, but he managed to do it.

"Goodbye 'boyfriend', hello 'fiancé'," 35-year-old Nina Dobrev signed a selection of engagement photos. The couple stands under an arch of white roses, lilies, and hydrangeas, and in the light of candles placed around them. The entire floor under the bride and groom was covered with snow-white flower petals.

In their black outfits, they contrasted with the chosen style of the set. Nina Dobrev chose a shiny button-down dress, while Sean White wore a black suit.

"No," was the word her boyfriend initially heard from the actress. However, as Dobrev told Vogue, it was "the denial of happy disbelief."

Shaun White admitted to the glossy that his proposal was thwarted several times. At first, he wanted to propose during a summer vacation together, but due to a minor injury to his beloved, Day X had to be postponed. The date was the beginning of November, when they were supposed to go to Africa, but Dobrev guessed that this was where the proposal could take place, "because all her friends kept asking if it would happen."

That's why Sean White decided to propose before the couple flew to another continent, and to lure his chosen one to a restaurant by deception, because a few days before the X moment, the actress told him that she didn't plan to leave the house and wanted to rest before going to Africa.

"This time he refused to reschedule the meeting. Instead, he decided to do something radical. He asked his PR person to send Nina a fake invitation to a CFDA/Vogue dinner with Anna Wintour at the Golden Swan (the name of the restaurant – Ed.) in New York. Nina accepted," the magazine recounted the events.

After she opened the door to the restaurant, she was surprised to find that instead of Anna Wintour, only Shaun White and a photographer were in the room. "I was shocked. I just froze and stared at him," said Nina Dobrev.

She was proposed to a week ago, on Friday, October 25, in the evening. But the celebrity only announced her new status last night. So for almost the entire week, she kept the news secret from the public and took off her ring every time she went out.
