‘Young and the Restless (Y&R)’ spoilers find that Courtney Hope is spilling the beans about how she became “officially” engaged to beau of five years Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos, General Hospital).
Courtney explained how Chad first purposely threw Courtney off by speaking of several planned dinners, which turned out to be perfect decoys. It meant that, while Courtney had a feeling that something big might be happening in the not too distant future, she had zero expectations when they set off on their private, Valentine’s Day picnic lunch.
‘Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra) Dishes All the Details About Her “Official” Engagement.
On an isolated stretch of California beach, Chad asked Courtney to turn her back so he could set things up. But this is where Chad’s acting skills both came into play, but also may have let him down.
As he ‘struggled’ with setting things up to throw her off, Courtney wondered just how much he could have packed in the small bag he had brought, but then “I started to kind of piece things together,” Courtney confessed, “then I just kind of started smiling because I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I hope!’”
Courtney described how Chad was on bended knee when she turned back around. The actress welled up with emotion. “And then he said, ‘Will you officially marry me?’”
Both Courtney and Chad laughed about Chad’s choice of words later.
“I don’t know why I said that. Will you officially marry me?” Chad lamented. But Courtney found it cute and quirky. She replied with “Um, hell yeah!”
Duell was so excited about his now fiancé’s response he nearly forgot to put a ring on it. However, after a little prompting, Chad slipped the untraditional sapphire engagement ring onto Courtney’s finger.
Courtney gushed how she’s already used to having the rock on her ring finger “I love it!”
After the daytime picnic turned out to be “the big moment” Courtney had to ask Chad about all those decoy dinner plans. “I was like, ‘Are we still going to those dinners?’” she laughed. “And he’s like, ‘Um, not all of them!’”
While they may not have made it to all the restaurants, I’m sure the couple had plenty of champagne to celebrate their engagement.
Congratulations again, you two!
