The proposal happened three months ago, but the actress took her time before making her engagement public,
"It has been 3 months and I know some of you are wondering why it took so long to announce it - to be honest, I have been itching to post it ever since it has happened! (I was told to wait. ????)"
She also explained why she accepted Rick's proposal.
"I suppose the time is right. This guy @centurion_rick wanted to make sure I wasn’t gonna go anywhere and with that he locked it down with a proposal ???? I absolutely said Y E S! C’mon why wouldn’t I want to spend the rest of my life with this guy? He’s already more than what I ask for ???? yes, I know some of you will say “but you’re too young!” “you haven’t graduated college yet!” (don’t get me started on when our grandparents were getting married and pregnant at a young age but no one said anything about that)."
She also assured her fans that the wedding will not happen any time soon.
"This is not going to happen right away haven’t you guys heard of a long engagement? Yeah that’s what we are doing and we are damn sure about it; we both made this mature decision. Clichè to say it but once you know you just know - We both want to spend the rest of our lives together but we both have to finish what we are doing now (graduate college for me and he has to finish his army contract.) This is a step I am taking with him - this is the beginning of forever. I couldn’t be any less than absolutely happy ???? I loved calling him my boyfriend but I love to call him my fiancè even more ????"
At the end of her post, Toni asked for prayers and the support of her fans.
"P.S. before any of you start to put your two cents into this just remember it is MY LIFE and NOT YOURS (I am sorry to say that very frankly but some of you just don’t have filters and don’t know boundaries might as well be very straightforward with saying that) and with that I hope you guys will just be very happy for us, support us and pray that we stay together forever!!! ??"
