Alexa Ray described her reaction to the proposal as being “completely taken off-guard, dumbstruck, and shell-shocked.” In her own words, she said, “For once in my life, I had absolutely no words, and I couldn’t speak. I just kept staring at this ridiculously exquisite ring — and he was just hysterically laughing at me!”
