Chad, a pastor and life coach, proposed to the former Destiny's Child star with a 5-carat stunner that took up his savings of more than a decade.

AceShowbiz - Wedding bells are ringing for Michelle Williams (II). The "We Break the Dawn" songstress has got engaged to her boyfriend Chad Johnson after dating for a year. She took to Instagram to share the news, posting her pictures with her fiance and showing off her engagement ring.

"On March 21, 2018, the love of my life @chadjohnson77 proposed and I said 'Yesssssssss.....I will, I will, I will!!!' More of our love story is in the link in my bio from @people!!! Take a walk with us on our journey!!" she wrote in the caption.

The singer announced it on Thursday, April 19, but the engagement itself took place almost a month ago. Chad, a pastor and life coach, popped the question last month while they were on vacation in Pebble Beach, California. He got down to one knee and presented the former Destiny's Child star with a stunning 5-carat rock from L.A. jeweler Denis Mahgerefteh.

Though Michelle and Chad have only been together for a year, he had been saving up for the engagement ring for more than a decade. He shares to PEOPLE, "On my 30th birthday, everybody came and celebrated me. The next day, I woke up alone. I was so lonely. I had a little pity party. My personal life was lacking so much, and I was living so single. So as a response to that moment, I opened up a ring account, and for 11 years, I put $150 into a ring account."

"Every month I'd put money into that account; I would just say, 'My wife's coming; this is for my wife.' I did that for 11 years," he continues. Chad, however, admits that he was tempted to use the savings for something else. He reveals, "At six, seven, eight years in, I wanted to pull that money out and spend it on a sports car!"

Chad eventually met Michelle in March 2017 at a spiritual retreat he was leading. "When I had the moment that I knew Michelle was it, I was so excited to get that money and go buy that ring," he says. "There's so much in that ring. That's 11 years of my belief in my wife coming for me."

Michelle says she was "weeping and wailing" when Chad proposed, adding that her fiance "did a very good" in selecting the perfect diamond. The 37-year-old star says the engagement ring that Chad bought for her is similar to a ring that she saw last February and she liked.

"But then the ring that spoke to me is almost identical to the ring Chad had already purchased and designed! It's kind of like God was showing me, this is what's to come," she gushes. "It was really, really crazy."

The couple doesn't plan to get engaged for a long time, planning their wedding for this summer. "We do wanna get married very, very soon," says Michelle, adding that she has chosen the dress. "We've been moving very quickly and planning. Why wait? I want to get married now, but he wants a wedding!"

Chad chimes in, "She was like, 'Can we just revel in the moment, relish the feeling?' And I'm like, 'Let's go, let's go!' It's gonna be ... think James Bond-meets-'Midsummer Night's Dream' - with a little hood in it [laughs]. It's gonna be very traditional. We're doing black-tie. We want it to be small and intimate and very private."
