Revealing the news on Monday’s “The Talk," Gilbert, 38, described Perry’s romantic proposal during a picnic in the park.
“We go to a park, we have food and we’re eating it, it’s really sweet and there’s this guy sitting playing guitar, like a street musician,” she said. “He starts playing this song that we love … I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s so weird, this is so magical and amazing.’”
Little did Gilbert know that the romance was just beginning.
“So that ends, and she’s like, ‘Oh I’m gonna ask him to play this other song,’ but this other song is really obscure and this guy wouldn’t know it, but magically he knows it,” she continued. “And suddenly the people picnicking next to us pull out string instruments from under the blanket and walk over and they start playing ‘Love Song’ (by the Cure).”
Gilbert was shocked by what was happening with Perry, her girlfriend since last fall.
Perry then displayed four t-shirts with one word each, “Will. You. Marry. Me.” The fifth shirt she presented had a question mark and then she pulled out the ring.
To further add to the romantic gesture Perry told Gilbert to “turn around” and there stood their mothers and a couple of friends.
“So I think that’s it and it’s the most amazing proposal ever and then … this guy walks up and she’s like. ‘This is John Waite.’ And he starts playing ‘Missing You.’”
Who wouldn’t say yes to that?
