When did Aaron Paul get engaged to Lauren Parsekian?

According to People.com, Paul and Parsekian officially announced their engagement in October 2012. In an old interview with People, the 'Westworld' star said, “I am the luckiest man on the planet. It doesn’t make sense to me. The way she looks at me … she has that magical glow about her.”
 
On how he proposed to his then-fiancée Parsekian in Paris, Paul said, “We got engaged over New Year’s and I walked from the Eiffel Tower to St Germain and I went to the stoop, the little step where I proposed to Lauren – and I took a picture of it and I sent it to her. It’s just this little courtyard outside of this hotel, and we were just dancing to édith Piaf by ourselves on New Year’s and then I begged her to marry me.”



 

Paul and Parsekian’s Malibu wedding

After their first dance to 'La Vie en Rose' which was the song playing when Aaron had proposed, the couple and their guests enjoyed a performance by the indie band ‘Foster the People’. 

“Everything was perfect. It was pretty magical,” Paul said about his wedding. Paul’s former 'Breaking Bad' co-star Bryan Cranston served as a groomsman.
