Kim Kardashian's Parents Gave Permission for the Engagement

While Kim Kardashian was caught off guard when Kris Humphries proposed to her, Kim's parents, Kris and Bruce Jenner, were aware of Humphries' proposal plans because he asked for their permission a few days earlier.

PEOPLE is reporting that Kris revealed this information to the press conference.

"He came to Bruce and myself and asked us for Kim's hand in marriage, and it was really just so cute the way that he wanted to surprise her," Kris Jenner said.

Humphries reportedly was in Kim's bedroom on bended knee with red rose petals spelling out the all important question, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

The New Jersey Nets player proposed to the reality star with a $2 million rock from Lorraine Schwartz. The ring boasts a 16.5-carat emerald cut diamond in the center of two 2-carat trapezoid shaped stones, totaling 20.5 carats of "the highest clarity and color."

Kris said that she decided to host a family dinner in honor of the occasion without revealing the real reason to the rest of the family. "[Kim and Kris] were going to come over to my house, join the party, and then tell the rest of the family."

Even Kim's sisters, Khloe and Kourtney, were unaware of the engagement and were caught by surprise, just like the rest of the family, when the announcement was made.

Khloe revealed everyone else was in the dark. "None of [the rest of] us knew," she said. "We were all sitting there like, 'Kim is so late for dinner and we're starving.' And we're like, 'Where the hell is Kim?'"

"Then she walked in, and we're like, 'Oh my God!'" Khloe said. "But we just thought we were going to a family dinner."

Kourtney said, "We had no idea! We were both surprised at the dinner when Kim came out with her big rock and she started waving it in the air."

An entertainment insider has revealed that Kim could make millions thanks to her wedding, especially for the exclusive wedding photos.

And since we are talking about the Kardashians here, there is also the possibility of a spin-off TV show that would follow her getting ready for the big day, culminating in a televised ceremony.
