The couple’s two children, LeBron Jr., 7, and Bryce, 4, looked on as James asked for Brinson’s hand in marriage just after midnight and presented his wife-to-be with a pear-shaped diamond ring. Other guests who witnessed the big moment at the intimate affair include Queen Latifah, Jessica White, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade.
