Engagement parties are often tacky events washed down with cheap bottles of Lambrini followed by drunken guests belting out embarrassing eighties hits on a karaoke box.
But when you are raking it in like Jermaine Jenas you can afford to push the boat out a bit more…
So when Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas decided to celebrate his engagement to fiancee Ellie Penfold, no expense was spared.
The football ace, 25, invited his Tottenham team-mates to the party in London.
Spurs star Peter Crouch, 28, resisted the temptation to perform his notorious robotic dance, and spent most of the night singing karaoke with team-mate Robbie Keane, 29.
But the highlight of the show was undoubtedly when Nelly, 34, floated across the dancefloor, with a microphone in his hand serenading the happy couple with his dulcit tones.
Jenas and Ellie previously announced their engagement in OK! magazine.
The couple met in a club when combative midfielder Jenas plucked up the courage to approach Ellie, and they hit it off.
The couple say they are not planning to wed until 2011, which should give them plenty of time to plan an extravagant party.
Ellie has said: ‘I’d like all my family and friends to be there in a big country house. Oh and I’d like Amy Winehouse to sing.’
Let’s hope she hasn’t told Nelly…
