Courteney Cox Shares Engagement Details

Courteney Cox has opened up about her engagement to Snow Patrol's guitarist Jonny McDaid.

The couple announced their engagement in June, but have remained quiet on the details ever since.

Now, speaking on US chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actress revealed that the proposal took place at the home of her good friend Jennifer Aniston. She added that her fiancé also asked for permission from a certain someone before he proposed, namely Cox's 10-year-old daughter Coco.

Commenting on her engagement, she said: "Johnny first asked Coco. He said, 'I'd like to marry your mom', and gave her a little diamond ring. She said, 'Great, I'm going to camp tomorrow. Let's do it right now.'

"So, they decided they wanted to do it that night because we were leaving for Turks and Caicos and she was going to camp. We went to Jen's house for dinner because it was Coco's birthday and she was god mom.

"They made a plan to count down from three and when they got to one, he was gonna get down on his knee and say, 'Will you marry me?' and she was gonna say, 'Will you marry him?' They planned it out. They found the perfect tree that had three branches that led to one trunk. It was just beautiful."

However, the 50-year-old added that her daughter nearly let the secret out, because she was impatient.

She explained: "So we went to Jen's house and no one knew this was going to happen because it was just a dinner for, essentially, me and Coco.

"Coco got a little bored, as she does, and right after we were at the bar having a drink, she said, 'Three!' Johnny's like, 'No, not now!' So she's like, 'All right'.

"So, then we go to dinner and there's a salad course or whatever and she's like, 'Oh, my God!' and hits the salad glass, 'Three!' She kept jumping the gun.

"Finally she waited until after dinner. She was literally about to fall asleep."

Cox, 50, and McDaid, 37, first met in 2013 having been introduced by their mutual friend Ed Sheeran.
