I said, 'I want to spend my life with you,' and he was like, 'What is the question?' 'Would you marry me?' That's it… It was very beautiful. And then, like, 30 minutes after, I said, 'Wait, did you say yes?' Yes, he said yes." Ricky told People about the upcoming wedding. "This [wedding] is going to be Middle Eastern and Latin crazy all at once," he said. "It's going to be one loud wedding!"
