Imagine being itching to have dinner with Anna Wintour. For discussion of CDFA/fashion Business-wise, that's very cool and important and one of the few things you're willing to leave the house for because you're kind of under the weather and need to rest up before a big trip. So if you go for glamour, go shiny and cute. And then when you arrive at the restaurant, is it just your boyfriend who proposes to you? What a disappointment! Kidding, kidding, Shaun White's suggestion to Nina Dobrev actually sounds very sweet.

Dobrev and White announced their engagement fashion, That's only fair since White used the magazine as an excuse to lure Dobrev out of the house. According to White, Dobrev is a planner. She's rarely surprised, but she loves being surprised, so he did everything he could to make his proposal a shock to her system. Dobrev had suspected that White would pop the question if they were at the Earthshot awards ceremony in South Africa. So he decided to actually do it a few weeks earlier in New York. Good plan, right? Incorrect! Dobrev told him that she didn't want to go out to Africa at all. So White made an offer she couldn't refuse. He had his publicist send a fake invitation to a fake CDFA.fashion Dinner with Anna Wintour. “He made the invitation look so legitimate,” Dobrev says. White hired Glamor and pretended he was from fashionand waited for her arrival at the Golden Swan.

When Dobrev got there and saw White under an arch of white roses, she “went into a state of shock,” she says. I just froze and stared at him,” she says. “She says, 'So, wait, Anna's not here?'” White says. Dobrev doesn't remember the rest of her proposal and says she kind of fainted. But she said yes, and all of the couple's friends and family came to celebrate! But not Anna Wintour. She'd better get an invitation to the wedding.
