"Karina Smirnoff is set to waltz her way down the aisle!\r\nThe Dancing With the Stars pro, 32, is engaged to her baseball player boyfriend Brad Penny, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.\r\nSmirnoff (in a custom-made Marc Bouwer dress) debuted her engagement ring from Penny Saturday at the fifth anniversary party for TAO in Las Vegas. Since Penny couldn&amp;apos;t be at the event, he sent another surprise: An EVERLon Diamond Knot necklace Smirnoff discovered after opening a TAO fortune cookie.\r\n\r\nThe dancer -- who most recently competed on DWTS with Mike &amp;quot;The Situation&amp;quot; Sorrentino -- says Penny asked for her hand in marriage in October after she and Sorrentino performed the foxtrot.\r\n&amp;quot;I was in the middle of the show and had no clue what was cooking behind my back,&amp;quot; Smirnoff tells Us, adding that the proposal happened at what she thought was a business meeting. &amp;quot;The dinner meeting was set up at a restaurant in Malibu. When [my manager and I] got there, it was completely empty. She excused herself to take a call and while I was sitting there alone, Brad came in.\r\n&amp;quot;I had crazy hair and black lipstick on and was just concerned about looking like the Bride of Frankenstein,&amp;quot; she continues. &amp;quot;Even after Brad got down to one knee and opened the box with the ring, it still didn&amp;apos;t register.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe bride-to-be -- who took her romance with Penny public shortly after splitting from DWTS&amp;apos; Maksim Chmerkovskiy in 2009 -- says she&amp;apos;s certain her man is The One.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m the happiest I&amp;apos;ve ever been and Brad is the sole reason for that,&amp;quot; Smirnoff tells Us."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
