Then she shared a candid photo full of glee in which she holds her hand up to the camera to show off her new bling.

She has a big smile on her face and also has her tongue out. Her husband-to-be towers over her in the background.

‘This relationship is a testimony to the blessings God brings when you fully surrender and trust in his perfect timing. I’m so grateful to get to experience this kind of love in this lifetime. Lysm,’ she gushed in the caption of that post adding a red heart and diamond ring emojis.

She shared the engagement scoop with People, telling the outlet that Kurnik scored big points for proposing at Christmas time.

‘James knows how much I love Christmas, especially all the festive lights, so he took me to the Langley Glow Light Festival,’ Morgan told the outlet.

‘We were walking around, and I honestly thought he was going to propose on Christmas morning, so it came as a complete shock when it happened.’

She continued, ‘James had just injured his foot — we weren’t sure if it was a break or a sprain at the time, but he was on crutches.

‘I asked him if he was sure he wanted to walk around on crutches, and he said, ‘For you, I’ll do it. I know how much you love this.’ It seemed a little suspicious, but I didn’t think much of it.’

Karnik also arranged for a professional photographer to follow the couple around while trying to stay undetected.

‘Then, in the middle of all the lights and people, James put down his crutches to ‘adjust his shoe,’ and that’s when I started to suspect something was up,’ the actress said.
