Christina Aguilera's fiancé Matt Rutler spent over a year preparing his heart-warming proposal.
According to new reports, the film producer put a lot of thought into the design of the elaborate ring and had it ready for months but was waiting for the right time to propose.
Matt, who has been with Christina for three years, popped the question while the lovebirds were spending a romantic Valentine's weekend in Hawaii.

"He has been planning this for a while. "He took two of Christina's favourite rings to design something that incorporated [both designs] into one, similar to both their lives coming together as one."
The different stones on the intricate ring represent different aspects of Matt and Christina's relationship. "Every single placement of each stone has a reason and meaning," the insider added. "The actual band weaves and intertwines [the] diamonds. Every connecting criss-cross symbolises how their paths crossed. "The rock also features nine special multi-colour gemstones underneath the band that aren't visible when the ring is worn. "They all symbolize something meaningful to the couple. Christina is very spiritual and having the stones touch her actual skin will emit positive energies surrounding her at all times. They represent things like love, protection and healing."
