"Yeehaw! Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo wasn&amp;apos;t fooling around when he proposed to love Candice Crawford Thursday night during her 24th birthday dinner in Dallas, Tex.\r\n\r\nCrawford showed off her enormous new engagement ring in a pic posted at The33TV.com (The Dallas/Fort Worth station first reported the engagement; a rep for Romo, 30, confirmed the news exclusively to UsMagazine.com.) Check out a very similar-style platinum and diamond ring from Kirk Kara at left.\r\nJudging from the original pic, jewelry and style expert Michael O&amp;apos;Connor tells Us the bride-to-be&amp;apos;s sparkler is &amp;quot;one of the more romantic we&amp;apos;ve seen in celebrity engagement rings this year.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe ring features an approximate 4-carat center diamond set in platinum &amp;quot;surrounded by a vintage inspired design,&amp;quot; O&amp;apos;Connor says. &amp;quot;Tony chose a band with a split platinum shank and micro pave diamonds, a feature that makes the ring more elegant.&amp;quot;\r\nApproximate price tag? $80,000, O&amp;apos;Connor tells Us.\r\n\r\nRomo, 30, began dating Crawford (a former beauty queen and little sister to Gossip Girl&amp;apos;s Chace Crawford) in September 2009, two months after his split with Jessica Simpson.  He and Simpson, 30, dated for almost two years. Simpson herself got engaged last month to ex-NFL pro Eric Johnson.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
