Lauren Scruggs is officially engaged to Jason Kennedy. Just eight months after the E! News host admitted he was falling fast for the blogger and author of Still Lolo, he popped the question and she said yes.

“She’s amazing,” Kennedy said in an interview with PEOPLE magazine.

“It’s a blur but I can’t stop smiling,” Kennedy told E! “She told me I couldn’t surprise her, but I got her good. This is the best night of my life.”

Lauren Scruggs clearly expected Jason Kennedy to be elsewhere on Friday evening. According to Kennedy’s tweet, he definitely pulled off the ultimate surprise.

The proposal took place in Scruggs’s Texas hometown, in front of a small group of close friends and relatives. Walking out on a balcony, Scruggs saw a field where Kennedy had arranged candles that spelled out the message, “Will you marry me?”

Truth is I never flew to New York, I flew to Dallas and asked her if she would spend the rest of her… http://t.co/5blw2UBEeo

Lauren Scruggs quickly met him downstairs and that’s when he presented her with a Jennifer Meyer diamond ring.

Both Scruggs and Kennedy are deeply religious people. She is the model who inadvertently walked in front of an airplane propellor back in 2011 and sustained life threatening injuries as a result of the accident. Many have described their romance as being a gift from God.

“I’ll admit it, being a so-called good boy has paid off for me. I’ve got my dream job. And I’ve found my dream girl,” Jason Kennedy recently told Glamour magazine of his relationship with Scruggs.

It is uncertain when or where Lauren Scruggs and Jason Kennedy will get married but there will no doubt be lots of happy friends and family members celebrating with them. Both families must be thrilled about the daughter or son-in-law they are about to get via marriage.
