Twilight star Ashley Greene has an extra reason to celebrate this holiday season. She got engaged. Her longtime boyfriend, Paul Khoury, proposed to her while the couple was on a holiday vacation in New Zealand.
Greene posted video to her Instagram account on Thursday that showed clips of the couple at Bridal Veil Falls, where Khoury got down on one knee and proposed on an observation deck overlooking the scenic waterfalls.

In the moments before the proposal, Greene gazes out over the water and says “It’s pretty magical, babe,” to which Khoury replies, “It is pretty magical, baby.”
When Khoury asks if she will marry him, Greene says yes and takes his face in her hands. The newly engaged Khoury then jumps up and down in excitement and does a little dance as the words “She said yes!” splash across the scene. Greene jumps up on Khoury, wrapping her legs around him and the two embrace. The words “…Our journey begins” appear in the bottom of the screen as the video ends.
John Legend’s “You & I (Nobody in the World)” is playing in the background throughout the video.
“This is the most beautiful moment I could have ever hoped for. You’ve successfully made me the happiest, luckiest woman alive,” Greene wrote in an Instagram post . “I can’t wait to show you my unfaltering immeasurable love for the rest of our lives. #engaged #loveofmylife #futurehusband.”

She didn’t have too much to tell though. As the Inquisitr reported at the time, Greene said that despite the couple’s high-profile romance, Stewart and Pattinson always kept things strictly professional while working.
The newly-engaged actress won’t be letting wedding planning slow down her career. Ashley Greene is currently slated to appear in three films in 2017.
