Katie Couric & John Molner

Katie Couric and her beau John Molner got engaged over labor day weekend in a sweet and very simple way — at sunset on the beach in East Hampton, N.Y. Apparently it was quite a surprise to Couric, but she still happily said yes when he pulled out the huge cusion-cut diamond ring on a simple band. The couple has been dating for nearly two years, and Molner has gotten to know Couric’s two daughters. The engagement was “a great culmination to one of the best periods of my life.”

While news just leaked to the public, apparently this stunning pair have been engaged since last month. The couple is remaining mum on how Dauriac proposed and have been shying away from the limelight, but it is nearly impossible not to notice the beautiful vintage Art Deco engagement ring perched on Johansson’s left hand. Hopefully we will get to hear some romantic details of their special moment soon!

Zayn Malik & Perrie Edwards

One Direction member Zayn Malik took a traditional route when asking for Edwards’ hand in marriage, asking both her and his parents for their blessings before popping the question. The young couple, both 20, have done nothing but gush about their joy and love for one another since becoming engaged. While there were some speculations about their relationship due to the fact the Edwards is hardly to be seen in One Direction’s new movie This Is Us, she wasn’t shy about sporting her engagement ring at the premier.
