NBC10 reporter Christine Maddela to hear wedding bells

Another newscaster hottie is off the market - or soon will be.

Christine Maddela, NBC10's reporter assigned to the station's Skyforce 10 helicopter, flashed her beautiful new diamond ring Saturday morning on Twitter with the words, "So . . . this happened . . . "

Maddela said "yes" to longtime love Christopher Goss on Friday evening at Centennial Park, in Nashville, Tenn. - the very same spot where they had their first date several years earlier, Maddela told me.

"I never saw this coming," she said. "I wasn't at all prepared. I've never been the girl who thought about wedding dresses. I've never been ring shopping . . . but this is something I will never forget."
