One CSI: Miami actress is heading down the aisle.

Miamis Eva La Rue (Natalia Boa Vista) plans to get married for the third time next year. Her fianc, fishing company owner Joe Cappuccio, proposed in May while the pair was visiting Victoria Falls in Africa. "It was very romantic," La Rue told OK! Magazine.

"He tried to ensure a yes by taking me on a half day elephant back safari in the morning, then taking me on a helicopter ride over the falls," the actress continued. "And then we landed and walked down to the falls and there was this rainbow coming up from the bottom of the falls where we were standing, and he proposed right there. He got down on one knee with a four carat diamond ring."

The couple hasnt decided where to tie the knot. "Were kind of going crazy trying to find a spot," La Rue said. "We thought about going back to Africa, but were afraid the kids are going to be eaten by lions. When you look the other way, your kid could be prey." La Rue has a six-year-old daughter, and Cappuccio has two grown children.

La Rue said her fianc is an honest man. "Hes so grounded and down to earth and funny and smart and charming," she said. "Hes a great dad. All in this lovely Adonis body." Cappuccio admitted that everything didnt go as planned when he proposed: "I was so nervous I put the ring on the wrong finger."

The original interview is from OK! Magazine.
