Lauren Conrad dishes on engagement to William Tell, says she didn't see it coming

Lauren Conrad is opening up about her engagement to William Tell, dishing that she was surprised by the proposal and didn’t see it coming.

The former Hills star turned author and designer, 27, said he even picked out the ring himself and didn’t ask for input from anyone.

"I had no idea it was coming," she told Cosmopolitan’s January 2014 issue. "I thought he would wait until he finished law school. He didn’t even ask my friends [about the ring], which was a bold move. He said, 'I know you, and I know what you like.’ And I love it. It’s perfect."

Conrad said even though her fiancé “hates it” when she calls him a nice guy, she insists he is. “When you meet a nice guy who also manages to keep your interest, that is the dream," she said.

She’s dated Stephen Colleti and Brody Jenner on-camera, but she gave some advice to those rushing to the altar too quickly, Us Weekly reports.

"Enjoy falling in love. When girls get caught up in the timeline, it becomes more about the wedding than the marriage. You should be with someone with whom you could elope this weekend and be happy,” she said.
