Becoming engaged required a lot of secret planning by out actors Michael Arden and Andy Mientus

I had a gab yesterday afternoon with actor Michael Arden, currently a regular on TV’s Anger Management, and he shared with me the most charming story of how he recently became engaged to actor Andy Mientus of Smash fame.

Mientus is appearing on Broadway in the 2014 revival of Les Misérables and when he had a break, the currently bi-coastal couple made plans to meet up in England for a holiday.

They then each hatched a plan to propose marriage to each other without the other knowing.

‘I guess we were both were ready,’ Arden told me. ‘We know that we’re both sure about it – we both wanted it.”

Arden had designed a scavenger hunt while the two were in Somerset with all kinds of clues that would lead to a chapel where he would propose.

When Arden went to get the key to the chapel and met Mientus back at their room. Before he could begin the scavenger hunt, Mientus asked to take a look at a YouTube video where he suddenly appears on the screen and pops the big question.

Then several of their close friends appeared on the screen and began telling Arden why he should say yes.

He didn’t need much convincing and say yes right away. He then explained that he too had planned an elaborate proposal.

‘You couldn’t make it up,’ Arden says, ‘it’s like a Noel Coward play.’

The couple plan to be married in the fall of 2015.

2 Remarks

  1. Greg – Andy is a Mientus, not a Miantus (but adorable regardless of spelling!)

  2. Thanks Neal, it’s been corrected.
