Randy Fenoli's partner said 'yes!' - although not to a dress, like Fenoli is used to.
Instead, Mete Kobal said 'yes' to Fenoli's proposal, meaning the Say Yes To The Dress star is officially engaged!
The presenter shared the exciting news in a post on Instagram on Sunday (11 December), when he shared pictures of himself and Kobal showing off their rings after nearly a year of dating.
The pair met in January 2022 at the Marmara Park Avenue hotel in New York City, where Kobal was working as the restaurant and bar manager at the time. They began dating, and a few months ago Fenoli decided he wanted to pop the question.

Rather than simply getting down on one knee, Fenoli planned an elaborate surprise with the help of planner Marcy Blum.
Speaking to People about the job, Blum said: "Randy's vision was over-the-top, lush décor, a big wow moment and all his family and friends in one room to celebrate his proposal to Mete.
"He really wanted to surprise Mete with a beautiful moment for him to remember always. Randy and I have been friends forever and I'm so delighted to be creating his perfect proposal for him. As anyone who knows Randy either personally or from television knows, 'understated' is not in his vocabulary.

"With the help of our friends at Mixed Greens Event Design, we crafted an over the top, yet exquisitely romantic setting for him to propose."
Fenoli proposed where he and Kobal met, at the Marmara, on Saturday after telling him they were going to have dinner at the Museum of Modern Art.
What Kobal didn't know was that he was actually heading to the hotel, where 50 of their friends and family were waiting in the lobby.

Fenoli explained: "I just wanted to make it really special for him and make a memory that we would have the rest of our lives."
After Kobal said yes, Fenoli wrote on Instagram: "YES! It’s Official! We’re Engaged!! @metekobal We’re so in love!"
The presenter gushed more over his husband-to-be in an interview with People, saying: "I'm so in love. Every day I'm giddy. And every day just gets more amazing. It really does. It's easy. It's nothing what I thought a relationship was and nothing like I've ever had in the past. It's unbelievable."
Fenoli admitted to having 'never thought [marriage] was going to happen' for him, but now he and Kobal are well on their way with wedding conversations, with the presenter revealing: "We picked out our outfits, of course."
