Alleged details of how Russell Brand proposed to Katy Perry have emerged.  It is being reported the two got engaged New Years Eve in India during a commitment ceremony at the Taj Rambagh Palace hotel.

Russell Brand chose the dress she wore (a £600 traditional Indian dress) to the ceremony where (according to a source telling Britain’s The Sun newspaper):

“He had organised a special dining experience. We set a table in a garden with candles everywhere, They arrived in a horse and carriage with a glass of champagne and we served them dinner”

“At midnight they enjoyed fireworks while sitting on an elephant, which Mr Brand specially requested. Then they were taken to the Mughal Garden – which was decorated by flowers and candlelight.

“Mr Brand had given his butler the diamond ring to hide among the flowers. Miss Perry found it, he proposed, and she immediately said ‘Yes’. After that they requested 45 minutes’ privacy. They looked like they were beautifully in love.”

There are rumours that they plan to marry quickly, but there are also rumours they are coming back already married, so who knows if any of this is real.  Russell has allegedly asked his manager, Nik Linnen to be best man:

“Russell caught everyone off-guard with the engagement,” a source said. “They’ve decided they won’t be messing about and have already made a start on the plans for the big day.”

Assuming these details are accurate, are you surprised by how romantic Russell Brand is?
