“Oh my God,” she said as Quentin was down on one knee.
“What are you doing,” Ashley reiterates.
“I want to thank you for being so patient with me [sic]. I am extremely proud of you, and I mean every day, you blow my mind. There’s absolutely nothing that you cannot do. And I know that you’re going to be an amazing mother to our kids one day...I love you,” Quentin said as Ashley questioned if the moment was “real.”
“This is real; this is real,” he chuckled.
As the proposal was accepted and the crowd erupted with joy, Adele came out to say hello to the couple and got them to sit in front row seats.
