Katy Perry has opened up about her wedding plans with Orlando Bloom, and says she is anything but a 'bridezilla'. The Never Really Over singer announced her engagement to her long-term boyfriend on Valentine's Day in 2019, and says they are both united in their approach to wedding planning.

Speaking to Stellar magazine, Katy said: "I call myself a 'bridechilla' as opposed to a bridezilla. Orlando and I are united with our approach. It’s not about the party, it’s about the coming together of people who will hold us accountable when things get really hard."

Katy has previously revealed that the proposal took place on a private helicopter flight, however, it didn't all go exactly to plan. Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, the singer divulged: "We had champagne in the helicopter and the box was in his pocket, and he had written down everything he wanted to say in a note to divert." But as Orlando tried to subtly pull the ring box out of his pocket, he ripped his jacket and knocked a champagne bottle with his elbow. "I'm still reading this note and he's pulling out this box that's too big for his coat pocket and his elbow goes into the champagne and I'm like, 'No, I'm just reading this note, I know you're not doing anything,'" she said, conceding that he "did so well" with the elaborate proposal.
