  But back to the proposal.

  According to Benedict, he started planning everything before Easter last year when he asked a close friend of Bib for her opinion on which engagement ring he should buy. However, the pandemic messed up his plans.

  Still, Benedict soldiered on, and eventually proposed to Bib at The Siam hotel in Thailand last week. Judging from his Instagram posts, Benedict is believed to have flown over to Thailand in late November this year.
