Camila Alves Hesitated to Say ‘Yes’ to Matthew McConaughey Proposal [VIDEO]

Matthew McConaughey who recently tied the knot with Brazilian model and television performer Camila Alves appeared on 'The Tonight Show' with Jay Leno and talked about his awkward proposal story.

"At Christmastime, we go around our family and everyone takes turns opening presents. So I had wrapped the engagement ring in about eight different boxes deep, so she would keep opening boxes to get with it," McConaughey shared.

"We finally got to her, and I'm calling my family over. She gets to it, she opens it up, her eyes go wide. I take a knee and I ask her, 'Will you marry me and take my name?' The first words out of her mouth were not yes."

He didn't want to say what the first word his wife said at that time.

McConaughey continued, "But I did say, 'Look, I'm down on a knee. I'll stay here awhile. I will outlast you.' And I did! She conceded."

The couple married earlier this month in Austin, Texas after 6 years of dating. They have two children together, Levi, 3 and Vida, 2.
