Last Friday, Ralph Lauren’s son David Lauren got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Bush, which could result in the easiest name possible to remember: Lauren Lauren. David proposed to the former model and FEED founder at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is where they met over six years ago while attending Vogue's Costume Institute Gala. Now photos of Lauren's engagement ring have emerged, and it's a stunner.
