John Cena and Nikki Bella Wedding Date: Pair to Wed Soon After Surprise Wrestlemania Proposal
Newly engaged couple Nikki Bella and John Cena are planning to tie the knot "soon."
In an interview with Today, Cena, 39, and Bella, 33, talked about the proposal that took place in front of thousands of fans during WrestleMania 33, Sunday night. Fresh from defeating The Miz and Maryse in a tag team match, Cena got down on one knee and popped the question. Bella said yes, accepting the huge diamond ring that Cena gave her.
Cena revealed that it was not the first time he proposed. He actually asked her to marry him a year and a half ago, when she was about to undergo surgery. Right before Bella was wheeled into the operating room and went under anesthetic, the pro-wrestler revealed his intention to marry her. Bella said she could not remember the moment and Cena refused to talk about it. When he got down on one knee after the WWE fight, she said she was shocked.

"I never actually would have thought that he would have proposed in front of all those people, but that's home for us, WWE is our home, it's where we met, it's our passion, it's our life. Honestly, I could not ask for it to be any other way," Bella said in the Today interview.
The two have been dating since 2012. That time, Cena had just divorced his first wife and high school sweetheart, Elizabeth Huberdeau. The wedding will be the second for both parties. Bella married her high school sweetheart when she was 20 but the marriage was annulled after only three years of being husband and wife. In 2014, Cena said he had no wish to get married again and have kids. He told Today that he was glad to be proven wrong.
"I found the absolute right person. I found a strong person [who] I consider an inspiration, an equal, somebody who when I'm feeling down picks me up.... It took a person that strong to change my view on life," the wrestler said.
