52-year-old George Clooney had carefully planned how to propose girlfriend Amal Alamuddin. 
 
According to People, the Oscar winner handpicked the ethically mined seven-carat, emerald-cut diamond he gave his Beirut-born girlfriend. 
 
He even had input on the platinum-set design that featured two baguettes on each side of the main stone.
 
The Hollywood hunk reportedly proposed to his beautiful human rights lawyer girlfriend, after cooking a meal for her at his home in LA.
 
The actor went down on his knee after cooking a romantic dinner at his mansion in Studio City, and presented Alamuddin with the stunning 7-carat ring.
 
Clooney hopes they can marry in just a few months, even as early as the beginning of September.
 
"George cooked a meal himself for Amal at home on April 22, then he surprised her by getting down on bended knee and presenting her with the ring. He was so happy she accepted, he was calling friends with the news later that night," a source said.
 
The night after the proposal, the couple joined friends for dinner at Craig's restaurant in LA, where, according to reports, the lovebirds were "just beaming".
 
A similar scene took place at Nobu in Malibu the following night, April 24, with friends Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford, where Alamuddin was seen happily showing off her ring.
 
The couple could wed at Clooney's Lake Como, Italy, estate.
 
"Lake Como would be a beautiful wedding location, but it may not give them any privacy. It is very easy for the public and paparazzi to see into the property," the source added.
 
Clooney's representative has refused to comment on the engagement and nuptials.
