Siva already had her three-carat diamond solitaire ring for months and didn’t know when to pop the question. However, he was quite the sneaky boyfriend when he found out that Nareesha was planning a surprise birthday party for him where her family would be present — and decided to propose then!

“It was like a military operation to plan the proposal. I couldn’t even tell the other boys in the band in case they blew the surprise. I said to her I wanted a present I would always remember this year by… for you to be my wife,” he told Hello!. “I love her, I love every bit of her.”

Nareesha said no at first because she was so overwhelmed, but thankfully changed her mind!

“I don’t like surprises and he really surprised me, but I was so happy. I can’t wait to start planning the wedding. I’m still in shock,” she said.

The blushing bride-to-be tweeted:

Even though Siva didn’t tell his bandmates Max George, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Ariana Grande‘s boyfriend, Nathan Sykes, that he was going to propose, there’s no hard feelings!

Tom tweeted:

Aww, how sweet! Like Tom, we’re thrilled for the adorable couple. Are YOU, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!
