As he tentatively launched into his speech, opening up about how she had cha-cha-ed into his life and turned it all upside down, “All of a sudden, when I could tell how nervous he was, I got really nervous and, in my head, I’m like, ‘Oh my god! This isn’t a birthday surprise anymore. This guy is about to propose to me,'” Nikki recalled.
She knew that on paper it seemed speedy, but she’s so freaking thrilled to be cementing forever with the man she’s called “one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met,” she can’t even pretend to be bothered with what others might think: “I’m extremely, extremely happy.”
She was even happier once she got to slide that diamond back on her left hand. “Artem picked out this gorgeous diamond and it’s a very rare diamond and I really love the shape,” she explained on the Jan. 8 podcast. “But when I was looking at it, I was like, ‘I think it could be set a little different.’ And so the guy was like, ‘Wow, your girl has a really good eye. She’s actually right about the setting,’ just because I felt it wasn’t showcasing this gorgeous diamond that he picked out.”
