On Thursday the couple had announced they got engaged on March 27 in Paris. Avril told PEOPLE exclusively, “It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for. We were in Paris on a boat on the Seine River. We had a violin player, champagne and roses. It felt like time stood still, and it was just the two of us in the moment”. The ring Mod Sun proposed with was a custom-designed heart-shaped ring set in a royal setting with little hearts from XIV Karats from Beverly Hills. She also explains, “It has the words ‘Hi Icon’ engraved in it, which were the first words he ever said to me. And it has Mod+Avril on the inside ” and “He knew from the very beginning I wanted a heart-shaped diamond because, on the day we met, we had matching heart-shaped paved rings on. We’ve worn them every day since, so it’s only fitting to have a heart-shaped engagement ring. I love it so much”. She says the engagement was a total surprise but had known that he was the one. They had a strong connection during the first week they had been writing and working together in the studio.
