AceShowbiz - Actors Michelle Mitchenor and Coley Speaks are set to wed.
"Seven Seconds" star Speaks recently popped the question to Mitchenor and he reveals he set up an elaborate plan and faked a fight with his now-fiancee so she would be caught off-guard by his proposal.
"The engagement was epic," he tells People magazine. "It was one of the most difficult acting roles I've tackled thus far. (The fight) was so bad I wasn't sure she'd want to see me again. But I stayed in character all the way through and it paid off beautifully."
"I had zero idea this was coming because of the fight he faked the night before," she adds.
Speaks popped the question to the "Lethal Weapon" TV actress during a private screening of her BET movie "Tales: Trap Queen".
"I cried, I laughed and kept saying, 'Shut the eff up'," she says. "(The ring) has such a unique and vintage style to it. It stands alone and represents me perfectly."
The couple is now planning to wed in October.
