Justin Guarini tells how he propsed to Reina Capodici

‘I Got the Ring in Afghanistan’

NEW YORK, February 15, 2009 – While the rest of the entertainment world may be abuzz with news that Justin Guarini is getting hitched, we aren’t exactly falling out of our seats. Why not? Because we already fell out of seats four months ago – when the pop star broke the news of his engagement to longtime gal pal Reina Capodici on his BlogTalkRadio show.

At the time, Justin recounted how he got down on one knee and asked Reina to be his wife: “I’d actually gotten the ring when I was in Afghanistan…I had to keep it hidden for quite some time, because I knew I was going to propose to her sometime soon. And then I got this gig at Disney. So, I’m like, Dinsey’s the place where dreams come true. So why not – it’s my dream and hers.

(Fast forward to Justin and Reina at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida, where he was working on The American Idol Experience.)

“There was this beautiful fireworks display…And about halfway through, I’m getting a little nervous…So I turn to Raina and I say, ‘I love you. I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else.’ So she’s like, ‘That’s really sweet, honey’…So then we start kissing…And then I break out the box and I get one knee and I say, ‘Will you marry me?’”

And how did Reina react? You’ll have to download the show to find out!
