'No, I've never worn white/But I'm standin' here tonight/Cause I really wanna say 'I do.'

Katy and Orlando were first linked when they were seen flirting at the Golden Globe Awards in January 2016, and went public with their relationship a few months later in May at the Cannes Film Festival.
The couple parted ways just over a year later in March 2017, but the split wasn't to last and they got back together later that year.
The actor proposed to his long-term love on Valentine's Day in 2019 when he popped the question with a $5 million flower-shaped ring in front of Katy's entire family.
The couple are expected to tie the knot later this year
