"The View's" Sherri Shepherd Is ENGAGED!

Ummmmm, who knew she was even dating someone seriously. But alright then....

The View's co-host Sherri Shepherd, 43, said yes to television writer Lamar Sally, her rep confirm. The couple of more than a year became engaged on December 26 after returning from a San Diego trip. And the proposal was definitely a romantic one: Upon their arrival, Sally's friend had decorated the home with lights, put a Santa beard and hat on her dog, and hid the ring box in Shepherd's bowl of M&Ms.

CUTE!

Before asking for his love's hand, Sally asked permission from Shepherd's 5-year-old son, Jeffrey. The couple is planning an August wedding in Chicago.

*melting*

In all seriousness, CONGRATS to Sherri! Here's her second chance at it....

PS - not be a "Debbie Downer", but ummmm Lamar looks like he can be her father! I know, I know...mean, right?
