E! News' Giuliana DePandi Engaged

December 2006-- A helicopter ride over The Windy City on the night of December 15, 2006 took Giuliana DePandi's breath away when the co-host of "E! News" realized that her love of almost one year, season one winner of "The Apprentice" Bill Rancic, had chosen the moment to ask for her hand in marriage.

The display of holiday lights below on Chicago's Michigan Avenue sparkled like diamonds on an engagement ring as the TV anchor agreed to the proposal. Back on solid ground, the couple returned to the prospective groom's apartment, which was filled with the aroma of a chocolate cake and rose petals, which had been sprinkled throughout the rooms.

The couple are now planning a late 2007 wedding in bride-to-be's homeland, Italy.
