"When you think you're just going away for a night for your 5 year anniversary then find out your boyfriend made sure you have off from work but tells your friends at work to make it look like you're still on the schedule then he surprises you with a weekend getaway! Whatttt.. I can't believe he pulled this off," Cortese captioned a pic holding up her travel plans on Thursday.

But clearly the trip wasn't the only surprise that Buckner was able to pull off.

The former reality star took to Instagram on Saturday to share a photo of her new engagement ring while kissing her man and toasting with some champagne.

"I always knew I would spend the rest of my life with Christopher.. But last night while we were walking on the Beach in Mexico he made it official!! We're engaged!!!!!" Cortese wrote.

She also shared a collage of pics of her giant new rock, writing, "I felt like the other pictures didn't show how beautiful the ring was..

This still all doesn't feel real!!! I love you @cbuckner_ this weekend has been amazing so far."
