Wedding bells are ringing for actor and actress Dulé Hill and Jazmyn Simon because he put a ring on it!

Sharing the news on Instagram Thursday afternoon, the Ballers actress posted a series of photos from the surprise engagement which involved a hot air balloon, lots of champagne and a whole lot of love.

“Step by step, hand in hand, you & me, lock & key,” she wrote before adding the hashtags, “#ISaidYes #041417 #ItWasAREALLYGoodFriday #ForeverGrateful #WeGonRentTheMoonAndFillItWithRosé #ILoveYouDulé.”

The West Wing and Psych star popped the question last week on Good Friday and it was a good Friday indeed. 

Simon and Hill met in Miami on the set of Ballers and soon she became “so madly in love with him.”

“I met Dulé at lunch,” she told Home & Family last August. “I was supposed to be in Miami for two days to shoot the Ballers pilot and my two days turned into two weeks because I was at the end of the second day and my scene got bumped…I went to set and I saw him, just me and him at the end of the table, and I was like, ‘Oh, I know you. You’re Dulé!’ And I went and we exchanged numbers and the rest is history.”

The couple has been going steady since then and they don’t hold back on sharing their affections on Instagram, either. 

Happy happy birthday to my very best friend, the key to my lock, the love of my life. @dulehill, God blessed us all the day you were born. 🔐
