2 Chainz proposed to his girlfriend Natasha Ward on the Met Gala red carpet

2 Chainz proposed to longtime girlfriend, Natasha Ward, half way up the Met Gala’s red carpet last night. Appropriately, Ward was wearing white.

Ward could not contain her emotions, understandably, and teared up as soon as 2 Chainz got down on one knee. While the night is typically about the fashion, the hosts, the exhibition and fundraising for the museum, we understand the sentiment behind proposing on the Met Gala carpet.

The most popular time of the year to get engaged is between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, but presenting a ring on the first Monday of May fits the bill for a myriad of reasons. Most pop the question while they are spending time with their families and feeling the holiday spirit, but proposing when you’re both dressed to perfection, surrounded by cameras ready to capture the moment and standing right next to Frances McDormand, clad to perfection in Valentino Haute Couture, certainly tops most engagement scenarios.
