The star couple excitedly reveal their engagement and future wedding plans.
Test cricketer Michael Clarke and his model love Lara Bingle have revealed that they are engaged following a romantic proposal in New York’s Central Park over Easter.
A spokesman for the star sportsman says Michael chose to pop the question at the end of a freezing Good Friday, but his offer of a stunning $100,000 pear-shaped, five-carat diamond ring took care of any chill, and the gorgeous Sydney girl replied with a resounding yes.
Lara’s mum Sharon said the family was thrilled at the “absolutely wonderful” news.
“We’re all very happy about it — Michael is a lovely and romantic man,” she told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph. “I’m dying to see Lara and congratulate both of them. We’re very proud.”
The two celebrated privately in New York, before contacting home with their joyous news.
“Lara and Michael have rung in to family and friends over the Easter weekend extending the great news,” the couple’s manager Chris White told The Sydney Morning Herald.
The Bingle and Clarke families will gather to give their blessings to the happy pair at a celebration party on April 4 in Sydney. Michael had little doubt Lara would knock him back — having already invited some 300 guests to the cocktail party at Luna Park before the pair jets off for their brief North American holiday, describing it as a surprise for Lara and her family.
