Solenn recounts engagement night: 'Hindi ko alam kung nag-yes ako'

First she was surprised and then she cried when her boyfriend of three years Nico Bolzico proposed to her last December 11.

 

Solenn Heussaff  was glowing when she showed off her engagement ring for the first time to GMA-7 and PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during the VIP screening of Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2.

 

The GMA-7 actress exclaimed during the interview, "Akala ko next year or two years pa."

 

She narrated that the "very casual" proposal on December 11 took place at the house of her parents.

 

"We're very simple. Hindi ako ma-flash mob...

 

"Naka jeans lang ako na pambahay. Galing ako ng 15-hour flight…

 

She then related how Nico turned what would have been another routine day in their lives into something special.

 

"Pag wala si Nico, usually nasa bahay ako ng parents ko. Akala ko nasa Bacolod siya.

 

"From the airport, straight ako sa bahay ng parents ko. Then biglaan..."

 

She said with a smile: "Hindi ko alam kung nag 'yes' ako.

 

"I just said, 'Holy sh__t!' I don't think I said yes."

 

Did she cry during the proposal? She did, "Parang namatay na ang singlehood ko."

 

Solenn intoned how amazed she was that her Argentinian boyfriend was able to keep his plan a secret from her for so long. 

 

"Hindi ko siya nahuli, usually kasi bad siya na mag-keep ng secret."

 

She described her boyfriend Nico as "super traditional" that he first asked the permission of her parents to marry their daughter before proposing to her. — PEP
