Adrienne Bailon’s pre-bridal bliss is in full effect right now

The Real co-host alongside her future hubby-to-be Israel Houghton celebrated in a joint co-ed wedding shower adn she is truly living on a high of love. 

With a Parisian theme as a nod to where the gospel singer popped the question with a gorgeous rose gold 8-carat Emerald cut diamond, the couple enjoyed the love of family and friends as they prepare to walk down the aisle to begin their forever. 

Bailon told PEOPLE that because life after marriage would obviously be a joint effort for both she and her husband, she wanted to shake up tradition and have a shower with a twist. 

“I always knew if I did a bridal shower I knew I needed it to be co-ed. I can’t imagine celebrating my engagement without my fiancé,” she said. “I like hanging out with him so why would I want do celebrate without him.”

How sweet it is to be loved by you… 💕 @ihoughton Checkout exclusive pics & deets of our celebration in @People Magazine. Link in the bio. So happy to share it with you all! Hint: There's some fun DIY ideas! Besos xo #HappilyEverHoughton Loved my Parisian cake by @houseofpastry!

I'll keep choosing you. #HappilyEverHoughton #HappinessNeverGoesOutOfStyle #ExistToBeHappyNotToImpress 💕 Oh my happy heart… FYI I'm so late posting these pics because… For the past 2 days I've been in Paris & every-time I have attempted to post I end up falling asleep with my phone in my hands. Lol. #MajorFail #JetLagStruggle is TOO REAL!
