A couple of weeks ago, the media was abuzz with John Mayer's plans to propose 'creatively' to Jennifer Aniston. Last week, the Waiting on the World to Change singer finally proposed.
Apparently he told Jen that she is the girl for him and he is sure of it. He is willing to do anythig she wants as long as they are together. Aww!
Friends close to the couple say that John really wants to settle down with her. He wants children, marriage - the whole thing at some point. Isn't that awesome?
