New York, Dec. 25 (AP): When Kevin Costner proposed to his fianceé, Christine Baumgartner, it wasn’t a big production, but it was a romantic one.

In June, the actor and director had covered their bedroom in rose petals and lit candles. Then he got down on one knee and gave her a diamond ring from the 1880s.

“He talked for a really long time about us, what we were like together,” Baumgartner (picture on left) told Instyle Weddings magazine for its spring issue. “It was so un-Hollywood, so him. He picked the roses from our garden. It was beautiful, better than I ever could have imagined.”

Costner, 48, and Baumgartner, a 29-year-old bag designer, plan to marry in September at his 165-acre ranch outside Aspen, Colorado. They’re expecting 300 to 500 guests, but they want the wedding to be an intimate, three-day celebration with live music and sporting events.

“We’re going to do what Chris and I do, which is play a lot,” said Costner, the director and star of Dances with wolves.

“We’ll have 15, 20 horses, do some rodeo, some cow penning. For the fishing tournament, we have four canoes and there are two lakes and two rivers.

“But I’ll go to the best spot, trust me,” he said. “I’m such a bad loser. I’ll probably have a couple of fish stashed.”
