MET Gala 2022: Couple Engage in Symbolic Steps in the Museum

The 2022 Met Gala will be an eternally important day for a couple. When A-listers arrived at the annual event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on Monday, Bobby Digi Olisa knelt down the iconic staircase and asked Laurie Cumbo, New York City Cultural Commission Commissioner.

After the bride accepted the proposal, the happy couple told ET Rachel Smith about an already unforgettable night.

“We talked about it and we talked about it,” Orisa said about her engagement. “She didn’t know [about my plan].. Today I was just like,’All the preparations to get here, why? When if you don’t know? “

Still, Orisa was “very nervous” to ask the question. Kumbo at night was a “blessing” as she lamented that her make-up was ruined when it came to his fiance.

“I didn’t know it would happen tonight,” she said. “We’ve talked about it. We’ve experienced a lot, and it’s a great honor and a great blessing.”

This place has a special meaning for the bride who explained, “I came to Met Gala as an intern here when I was 15 years old.”Now i’m back with my husband now [to-be] As Director of Culture. [It’s a] The moment of the whole circumference. “
