Nina Dobrev has revealed one unexpected aspect of her engagement to Shaun White that keeps catching her off guard.
“The constant question of ‘When’s the wedding?’” Dobrev shares with PEOPLE.
It’s been roughly five months since the 36-year-old *Vampire Diaries* star and the 38-year-old former pro snowboarder and skateboarder announced their engagement in late October, yet their loved ones are already eager for the wedding date.

Dobrev highlights that White’s mother has been among their most enthusiastic cheerleaders. “Literally right after we told Shaun’s mom, her very first question was, ‘So, when’s the wedding?’” says Dobrev, who spoke to PEOPLE while promoting her collaboration with SC Johnson for the Join Zuzu campaign, raising awareness about plastic waste and the value of recycling.
“We were like, ‘It just happened—we haven’t even thought about it yet!’” she laughs.
The romantic proposal took place in New York City last fall, when White popped the question with a stunning 5-carat diamond ring beneath an arch of white roses at the Golden Swan restaurant.

Recalling the moment to *Vogue*, the *Originals* actress said, “I was completely stunned. I just stood there, frozen, looking at him.”
A month later, a source close to the couple told PEOPLE that White had been dropping hints about the proposal to his inner circle for months. “Their friends saw it coming and are over the moon for them,” the insider shared. “Post-proposal, they were calling and texting everyone, saying, ‘Life doesn’t get better than this,’ practically beaming with joy.”

The source predicts a grand celebration, noting that their wedding will likely be “an all-out bash.” “They’re a perfect match—adventurous and lively, yet they keep each other steady,” the insider added in November.

The couple’s romance began in 2019, and they took a big step by moving in together early in the COVID-19 pandemic. They went Instagram official in May 2020, with Dobrev posting playful photos of herself giving White a quarantine haircut.

“We’re just savoring our time together right now, no rush,” White told PEOPLE in April 2023 while at the Oasis Celsius Vibe House. “I said to her, ‘After the Olympics, I finally got the freedom to do what I want. Let’s just enjoy each other, have fun, and be there to lift each other up.’”
