Jessica Simpson Recalls Eric Johnson Proposal
Tears of joy. They flowed from the face of Jessica Simpson after Eric Johnson, her boyfriend of less than six months, proposed to her November 11.
Opening up about her recent engagement during a Monday appearance on The Early Show, Simpson called Johnson's proposal "a total surprise."
"I had to sit on his knee; I was too shocked to really get what was happening."
Eric Johnson will soon become Mr. Jessica Simpson.
What was her reaction when Johnson, a Yale graduate and former NFL tight end, presented her with a ruby, diamond and gold Neil Lane sparkler?
"I first said 'Yes!'" Simpson told Harry Smith, giggling. "I didn't even try the ring on for 5 minutes," she adds. "I just sat there and cried with him."
Guess she didn't pay for it herself then.
She says she loves that Johnson went the unconventional route with her new sparkler, choosing the ruby, her birthstone, to make it stand out.
"I've already done the traditional thing," she sniffed of her ring from first husband Nick Lachey, who's also newly engaged to Vanessa Minnillo.
"I wanted to do something that was different."
She says Eric "had a plan a long time ago" to propose. "He had a [sit-down] with my mom and dad about it... He was a gentleman about it."
Eric is "the best man in my life... He is really thoughtful. Keeps me very centered. [He always] makes me feel like my feet are on the ground.'"
"He's the most special part of my life and my day."
All together now ... AWWW!

Simply nauseating! Just by the statement Eric "had a plan a long time ago" to propose" WTF does that mean? He knew after date one he was going for the dough? Hell, they have only been seeing each other for less than 6 months - How long do ya need? I don't care if that is her birthstone - BARF! "She says she loves that Johnson went the unconventional route with her new sparkler, choosing the ruby, her birthstone, to make it stand out. "I've already done the traditional thing - Y E A H and it was a stunner! Wonder what she did with that wedding set? Hell if I had to wear what she got I'd recycle the old one which I bet is worth alot more a certainly more beautiful and re-set the stone~LMAO
I just hope she has the sense to say PRE-NUP since this has been such a "whirlwind" courtship. I can just see the weddings now hers and Nicks. Who's will out-do the other? Bet she does the white dress thing again, church and all too like the marriage to Lachey never happened. DUH? Hollyw
