Country Singer Jake Owen had a surprise for his then girlfriend, Lacey Buchanan. While singing for family, fiends, and fans, at the Citrus Bowl at his alma mater, Vero Beach High, he called her on stage, apparently to dance with him, while he sung his hit, “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You.” To her surprise, he got on one knee and popped the question.
“You’re probably wondering where your ring is, right?” and then, referencing the lyrics of his song, he said, “I just said I cant buy you a big diamond ring or a big old house on the hill, but I promise I can love you forever and ever and ever.”
He then finished the song, directing his lyrics to Buchanan, after which the couple shared hugs and kisses.
“He was talking about how he’d thrown his hat up on the fifty yard line [during graduation] and now he was here in front of friends and family, and it seemed like the most appropriate [venue],” said a concert goer. “He seemed to spontaneously decide to bring her out on stage and propose to her.”
Owen’s surprise proposal seems to have gone over very well. Owen Tweeted on Sunday, “I’m a happy man. Life is complete.”
