Dhowre recently celebrated her upcoming nuptials with a Utah bachelorette party with a group of girlfriends that had all the essentials: guests wore robes with the words “Bride’s Squad” written across the back, cakes were decorated with the phrase “Future Mrs. Elba” and gift bags read “Team Bride” during the girls trip.
Elba and Dhowre became engaged in February 2018, when Elba dropped down on one knee during a screening of his directorial debut, Yardie.
“It was like two days before Valentine’s and I had this ring in my pocket, it was burning a hole,” he explained on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. “And then Valentine’s came and she had to fly somewhere, so there was a likelihood I wasn’t going to see her on Valentine’s Day. So I made this movie, and Sab was on the set every day. She knew the whole crew. So at the screening, it was a private screening for the cast and crew, and I just dropped to one knee. It was very nerve-wracking.”
