Last week, Caps forward Brooks Laich and entertainment superstar Julianne Hough announced they were engaged, which became headline news everywhere. Today, Julianne (finally!) showed us the ring in a post on her personal blog.
And, wow. That thing is GIGANTIC.
Brooks, who has made nearly $30 million over his 11-year NHL career, apparently spared no expense. Though Julianne’s post didn’t provide any details on the ring’s four C’s (color, cut, clarity and carat), suffice to say it’s freakin’ enormous. Like look at that thing.
The diamond is as big as her finger tips.
It’s literally as big as her eyeballs.
Jules also scooped on the engagement story:
Although I knew Brooks was the one the day I met him, I had no idea what to expect as far as when and how he’d pop the question. Well… let me tell you guys, it was magical and sweet. We were at home, romantic and relaxed, which is perfectly very “us.” We stood on the deck, watching the sun set over the lake and listening to our favorite songs. Not even for a second did I expect that beautiful, serene scene was about to become one of the most meaningful moments of our lives. In fact, I was so taken aback when Brooks got down on one knee I completely blacked out! It was like a rush of heat and a wave of uncontrollable emotion swept right through my body. I didn’t have any words at first (me! no words!). All I could do was explode into his arms and experience pure joy from head to toe.
