If you woke up this morning, you know that Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of Kate Middleton, is (reportedly) engaged to her banker boyfriend, Nico Jackson.

Although rumors of an engagement have been swirling for months, according to US Weekly, which broke the story on Wednesday, this time the couple of 15 months have made it official. They reportedly got engaged in early December during a vacation to India's Oberoi Amarvilas, a five-star resort with views of the Taj Mahal. Of Jackson's proposal, a source told Us, "It was exactly how he planned it. Very romantic and grand."

So, who is the blushing groom? Jackson, 30, is a stockbroker with Deutsche Bank, having earned his business degree at Kingston University in London. He's a departure from the men Pippa has dated in the past - her ex George Percy is heir to the Northumberland estate (which has been used in Harry Potter movies). And he has a rep for being polite. A source told the U.K. tabloid Express, "He is incredibly charismatic and stands out from the crowd. He is a really good catch."

The couple reportedly met last fall and have been inseparable since, gallivanting around the world to exotic places, including a ski trip to St. Moritz, Switzerland in March and to Mustique, a private locale in the St. Vincent & Grenadine Islands on a vacation with Kate Middleton Middleton and Prince William. And Pippa and Nico's chemistry is off-the-charts - they've been photographed kissing on the slopes, on the street, even in the back seat of taxicabs.

Jackson has also been welcomed into the Middleton family with open arms. He was invited to meet Prince George at Kensington Palace shortly after Kate Middleton gave birth in July. And the family love is mutual. In February, Jackson's mother Ulrike Jackson told the Daily Mail of her son's relationship, "We're very pleased. They are happy, and that is all that matters. As long as my children are happy, then I am happy."

Whether the rumors are true or not, one thing is clear: Pippa Middleton looks amazing in a white gown (the world took note of her beauty after she dazzled in her bridesmaids dress) Bring on another royal wedding!
