We LOVE a supermodel wedding, and it looks like we have one to look forward to as  Lais Ribeiro  has confirmed that she's engaged to NBA star Joakim Noah. The  Victoria's Secret Angel  announced the happy news over the weekend, telling her followers that her Memphis Grizzlies boyfriend of nearly a year had popped the question at her "fav place in the world" – the  Burning Man  festival in the Nevada desert.

The Brazilian model’s best friend Jerome Duran snapped a photo of the proposal which Lais shared on her page along with a caption that showed her excitement. "I'm a bit late for Burning Man pics and of course I didn't touch my phone for five days and I don't have a single pic," said Lais, who is mom to an 11-year-old son Alexandre. "But thanks to my Bff @jeromeduran he captured one of the best moments in my life! @stickity13 surprised me at my fav place in the world and proposed. And I couldn't be happier! We are getting married guys."
