While you might have wanted to forget Valentines Day 2019 before it even started (ugh, another stuffed teddy bear, really?!), the date will always be a memorable one for singer Katy Perry , 34.
After dating on and off for three years, her boyfriend Orlando Bloom, 42, popped the question on February 14 while on a date in Los Angeles. The two posted identical celebratory selfies-featuring Katy's flower-shaped ruby engagement ring and dozens of heart-shaped balloons-to Instagram the following day. Katys caption read, "full bloom," while Orlandos simply said, "Lifetimes." Yep, adorable.

A little more than a week later, on February 25, Katy revealed all the juicy details of the proposal on Jimmy Kimmel Live-and tbh, it sounds straight out of The Bachelor.
"It was very sweet," she said. "...We went to dinner, and I thought we were going to go see some art after dinner, but we pulled up to a helicopter." (Casual.)
But things werent exactly smoothflying for Orlando. The actor hit a bit of turbulence during his proposal.
"The funny part is we had champagne in the helicopter, and the [ring] box was in his pocket, and he had written down everything he wanted to say on a note," Katy explained. "So Im reading [the note], but Im hearing the champagne is broken, and the bottles everywhere hes pulling out this box thats too big for his coat pocket, rips his coat pocket, and his elbow goes into the champagne." That's when, Katy said, she knew what was up, but she pretended not to notice and just kept reading Orlando's note.
Eventually, he managed to pop the question, and of course, Katy said yes. Then, the helicopter landed on a roof where Katys friends and family were waiting for the happy couple.
Though Katy has yet to reveal any details on a wedding date (so keep your calendars clear, folks), she did recall the story of how the two met at a Golden Globes party in 2016, when Orlando swiped an In-N-Out burger from her table.
"He took it and I was like, 'Wait! Who-oh, youre so hot. Fine, take it.' ..And then, you know, cut to," she said, pointing to her ring finger.
While Katy and Orlando still have a whole wedding to plan, sources tell People that family is already on the couples mind. (Orlando has an 8-year-old son, Flynn, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.)
Did you know Katy Perry "gave up on love" before meeting Orlando? Here's what happened:
"Katy is slowing down her career this year," the source told People. "[They] want to get married and start a family sooner rather than later."
Heres to a little Perry-Bloom running around very soon!
