Avril Lavigne's engagement ring
Avril Lavigne Shows Off 14-Carat Engagement Ring
Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger's engagement may have been a surprise to the world at large, but the Canadian rockers are a perfect match, according to friends and family.
"They have the same values and really understand each other," a family source tells PEOPLE. "They complement each other and are so happy."
Kroeger, 37, who first fell for Lavigne, 27, while working on her fifth studio album, proposed with a stunning 14-carat diamond ring on Aug. 8, but according to a source close to Lavigne, the couple isn't rushing to the altar.
"They haven't set a date. They're really enjoying this moment," a Lavigne pal says.
In an interview with HELLO! Canada, the Nickelback frontman and "Complicated" singer spoke out about their romance.
"I knew I was falling for her," Kroeger said of working with Lavigne. "It was incredibly powerful and something I'll never forget."
Lavigne, who split from Sum 41 frontman, Deryck Whibley, in 2009, admits her new fiancé's sense of humor was part of the attraction.
"He makes me laugh every day," said Lavigne. "He takes care of me in every way and is extremely attentive."

She got married young to her first love and then rebounded with a douchey "LA" baby. Obviously she does not know how or enjoy being alone.
Marrying a slightly older guy who, although he gets alot of slack, is also a talented musician seems right. And they are both Canadian.. she married another Canadian the first time..
He probably treats her really well and maybe she was able to open up to him in a way she couldn't after being with someone like Brody whom she had nothing in common with for a while.
When you find that person you "click" with its really amazing and honestly, even in this one picture they look REALLY happy and sincere so if that's the case all the power to them..
