Speaking to PEOPLE last month, Deschanel revealed that her children were a little confused after her then-boyfriend Scott, 45, proposed.
The engagement, which took place at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, began with a guitarist Scott hired to play Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon.”
“So when it started happening, Zooey, all of a sudden… You saw this, ‘What’s going on?’ Scott recalled.
“Someone magically took over the kids from the other side of where the band was, and I was like, ‘Something’s happening,'” Deschanel added.

The star notes that she wasn’t quite sure what was going on until her children returned. “And then the kids pulled out a banner that said, ‘Zooey, will you marry me?’ Scott said.
“And I said yes,” Deschanel tells PEOPLE.
Although Deschanel’s children played an integral role in their engagement, they didn’t really understand the proposal until their mom agreed. “When Elsie turned and read [the sign]that’s when she first found out,” Scott said of the couple’s engagement. “And she immediately said, ‘Huh, did you just get married?'”
“And we’re like, ‘Well, no, not yet, but we’re engaged.’ And she says: ‘Does that mean I’m going to become a flower girl?’ And we’re like, ‘Yeah. Yeah, you can.’ So it was really sweet to have them there as well.”
