Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are finally engaged, however, their actual wedding day might still be a while away due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In a recent interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Stefani opened up about planning the special day, revealing that she'd rather wait until it was safe for all of her loved ones to attend.
"I would say I just want my parents there at this point," Stefani explained. "Like, my parents wouldn’t come to Thanksgiving because they were so scared, so really would rather it not be a COVID situation."
"I would rather not have the masks and that kind of thing," she added. "And even when you cut it down to just family, it’s still too many people for COVID so we’re sort of like, just going to see what happens in the next few months."
Stefani continued on to discuss her feelings about the engagement and her relationship with Shelton.
"It's so funny to even say 'engaged,'" she said. "It feels so weird. People have been saying it for so long, like five years, 'Are you getting married? Are you engaged?' And now we actually are, and it feels like I'm in a cartoon or something."
The couple announced their engagement on Tuesday, October 27, sharing an adorable engagement photo to Instagram. "Yes please," Stefani simply captioned her post, while Shelton wrote, "Hey @gwenstefani thanks for saving my 2020 and the rest of my life. I love you. I heard a YES!"
Before proposing, Shelton made sure to ask Stefani's three sons, Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 6, for their permission.
"Blake told her boys that he wanted to propose and asked their permission," a source close to Stefani previously told People. "Her family very much approves of him. He's an amazing partner and a great extra dad to the boys. Gwen is ecstatic. The proposal was a surprise."
In addition to Stefani's three sons, Shelton also made sure to talk with other family members before popping the big question. A source told US Weekly that Shelton also asked Stefani's dad, Dennis Stefani, for his blessing before he popped the big question.
"Blake had the ring custom-designed, and asked permission from her dad before asking Gwen," the source revealed. "It meant so much to Gwen that Blake was so traditional about it."
