WWE.com has gotten the scoop on Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan‘s engagement, straight from the bride-to-be herself. In an interview with the website, she reveals how the proposal surprised her and that the Total Divas cameras were present for the moment.
In addition, Brie’s sister Nikki and fellow new bride Natalya have given their two cents on the engagement.
Though she knew it was coming, Brie says the proposal caught her off guard, telling WWE.com, “I was definitely ready for it, but I was definitely shocked when Daniel proposed to me. I felt like I knew it was coming sooner than later, but I wasn’t expecting it, on this beautiful hike in Big Sur. It was so amazing.”
According to Brie, even the Superstars were giddy about the news. She revealed, “Not only were the Divas so excited and wanted to see my engagement ring, it was crazy to see how many Superstars came up to me and gave me such a huge hug. All the Superstars wanted to hear the details. It was really cute to see the guys like that.”
Brie isn’t ready to share her full guest list yet, though, saying, “Oh, Randy Orton for sure will not be invited. And, you know, some of those Total Divas. I don’t know if I’m going to have the whole cast. If Eva Marie is behaving herself, she can come, but I don’t know.”
Brie’s sister Nikki is thrilled to add Daniel to her family, sharing:
“I’m really, really happy and excited for my sister, and nothing makes me happier than being her maid of honor. I just love Daniel, [even though] he and I couldn’t be more opposite. I’m really excited because he’s very honest with me, so I know I can always go up to Daniel and get honest advice even if it kills me. So I’m very excited to have him as my brother-in-law.”
Fellow Total Divas star Natalya offered Brie some advice:
“Just take it one day at a time, because with WWE, everything is big, so it’s going be a big deal. She’s going to have people wanting to give her suggestions and offering advice. So she just needs to take it all in, but mainly stay true to herself and Bryan, and what’s important to them.”
Brie revealed that the moment was, of course, captured by the Total Divas cameras, saying, “The one thing I want to say is that this is such a special moment in my life, and the fact that ‘Total Divas’ was filming, I’m so excited to let the WWE Universe see what I went through, and could experience a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life.”
