Rita revealed that she got their wedding bands custom made and engraved with something on the inside that’s special to the two of them. According to the singer, she didn’t want their rings to be anything too “flashy” but that engraved detail adds something special to them for the couple.
“We were in LA I rented out a hotel room in Palm Springs. A really nice fancy one ― filled it up with balloons and cake,” Rita explained of the proposal itself. She shared that all the special details she planned were done because she was imagining the proposal she would have wanted for herself.
On the podcast, Rita revealed that Taika had a surprising and hilarious response to her surprise when he walked in and saw it.
“I’m holding the cake, like ― holding a bloody cake ― and the balloons are all around us. He walks into the room and he’s like, ‘What the hell, is it Valentine’s Day?’ I’m like ‘Nooooo!’ So anyway, I get down on one knee…” Rita recalled and said she was worried that Taika might not have been interested in taking the next step in their relationship by getting married.
Luckily, Taika said yes and the two were married later in 2022 in a small, private ceremony surrounded by their loved ones.
