Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and Red Bull Formula 1 racing team boss Christian Horner announced their plans to marry with an announcement in The Times.
(Benedict Cumberbatch is totally responsible for making this tradition trendy again, BTW).
The post reads simply: Mr C.E.J. Horner OBE and Geri Halliwell. The engagement is announced between Christian, son of Mr and Mrs G.M. Horner and Geraldine, daughter of the late Mr L.F. Halliwell and Mrs A. Parkinson."

Unlike Mr. Cumberbatch, Halliwell took to Twitter to comment further about good news.

Halliwell, 42, and Horner, 40, went public with their relationship in March 2014. This will be the first marriage for the former Spice Girl, who has an 8-year-old daughter, Bluebell, from a previous relationship. Horner has a 1-year-old daughter, Olivia, from his previous relationship.
In a 2012 interview with Hello, Halliwell described herself as getting "a late star on the romantic front," saying, "I didn't start dating until I was in my 30s."
"I quite like having somebody to cuddle," she said. "I like that intimacy, it would be wonderful."
