"Weddings aren&amp;apos;t cheap!\r\nThe costs of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo&amp;apos;s upcoming nuptials must be adding up!\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I think the one thing not affected by the recession is the wedding business!!&amp;quot; Lachey wrote on Twitter Thursday. &amp;quot;Damn, this is getting expensive. Good thing she&amp;apos;s worth it.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nLachey, 37, and Minnillo, 30, got engaged in November 2010 after four years of on-off dating.\r\nThe Sing Off host told Entertainment Tonight his proposal was &amp;quot;a carefully calculated plan&amp;quot; and his &amp;quot;best romantic effort.&amp;quot; Before presenting Minnillo with a $125,000 Asscher cut diamond ring, Lachey got down on both knees in what he jokingly referred to as the &amp;quot;full begging position.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBut don&amp;apos;t expect to see the lovebirds racing to the altar. &amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re enjoying being engaged,&amp;quot; Minnillo told Us Weekly. &amp;quot;Everyone rushes to the next step, and I like this step.&amp;quot;\r\nLachey was famously married to Jessica Simpson, 30, from 2002 to 2006. Simpson is now engaged to former NFL star Eric Johnson."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
