Lady Gaga is a woman of extremes. When it comes to the pop star, it’s either a bloody meat dress or natural. The same goes for her upcoming wedding plans, which she discussed during an appearance on the US television series Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday evening. Gaga, who got engaged to Michael Polansky in April, said she would be happy for a low-fuss wedding. “We’re actually talking about going to the courthouse just the two of us and ordering Chinese food,” she said. “Knowing me, it could be like a circus with unicorns.”

I agree: Knowing Lady Gaga, it’s hard for me to imagine the two of them opting for a rustic wedding. Just look at the huge stone Polansky gave her. Does this scream “chill couple” to you? On the other hand, the engagement itself wasn’t much of a spectacle. Gaga told Kimmel that the proposal came about right after her birthday (she says Polanksy threw her a “gorgeous” birthday dinner, of course) during a climbing date. “Really? Do you climb rocks?” Kimmel marveled. “I mean, I do now,” the 38-year-old said with a laugh. “I would do anything for love.”

After taking a few photos at the top of the mountain, the couple descended back down to safety, where Polansky popped the question, according to Gaga. “We just went back in the room and talked and … it was very Michael to ask me if he could ask me,” she said. “He wanted to know if it was okay to propose before he proposed to me, and I said, ‘Yes!’ It’s so okay!’
I like what he did,” she added, noting that he chose not to get down on one knee. Gaga is, after all, a “modern lady” — and apparently an increasingly straight-laced fiancée. If it were up to me, I would vote for the unicorn circus. Maybe a trapeze performance. I’ll just put it out there.
