Olympian Shaun White pulls off surprise proposal to actress Nina Dobrev in New York City

According to Vogue, the three-time Olympic gold medalist, 36, surprised The Vampire Diaries star, 34, with a 5-carat diamond ring during an intimate setup at Manhattan’s Golden Swan restaurant.

White orchestrated the moment with meticulous detail, decorating the scene with an archway of white roses and going to great lengths to keep the proposal a complete surprise.

To catch Dobrev off guard, White devised a clever ruse involving an invitation.

His publicist sent Dobrev a faux invite to an exclusive CFDA/Vogue dinner hosted by Anna Wintour.

“He made the invite look so legitimate,”Dobrev told Vogue, admitting she didn’t suspect a thing.

When she arrived, however, she was met with White and a photographer instead of a room full of fashion insiders.

“He said all the right things,” she recalled of the unforgettable moment.

But Dobrev’s initial response was a bit unexpected.

“No,” she replied-followed by several more emphatic “no’s.”

It wasn’t rejection, though, but rather shock.

“I went into shock,”Dobrev explained, describing how she simply froze and stared at White, overcome with disbelief.
