Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter s road to marriage kicked off with a pretty confusing proposal.

During a Monday night appearance on The Tonight Show, Lynskey told host Jimmy Fallon that she didnt realize Ritter was proposing to her until days later.

The Yellowjackets star said that she and Ritter had been out shopping and looking at rings, when she remarked to him that one ring looked like an engagement ring.

She said she therefore decided not to buy the ring, but that Ritter later gifted it to her.

So I was like, Oh, thanks. It didnt sort of cross my mind, she said, explaining that she didnt realize Ritter was proposing to her. And then there was this strange speech.

Lynskey explained that she had to confirm with Ritter that he wasnt, in fact, breaking up with her after that conversation.

So I said, OK, and then I was like, Well, thank you. Lovely, good chat? she said. And then three days we went to meet his family for Christmas, and he said, Were engaged.

It was so confusing, Lynskey said, later jokingly adding that she told her now-husband that people usually understand that its happening.

But the Raising Dion star has apparently been making up for his first proposal ever since.

Lynskey told Fallon that Ritter has been proposing to her over and over.
