Chris Lane engaged after many years of friendship and less than a year of dating Lauren Bushnell! Watch the proposal unfold here...
Country music star Chris Lane engaged? Yes! According to PEOPLE, Chris popped the question to Lauren Bushnell on Sunday, June 16th.
“I knew she wouldn’t want some elaborate crazy proposal,” Lane shared with the outlet. “So, I decided to keep it pretty casual. I asked her parents for different places in Portland I could potentially take her to, but after a lot of thought I decided doing it at the family cookout would be the most laid-back setting and that she’d appreciate the simplicity of me proposing to her in her parents’ backyard.”
“I was initially worried that doing it on Father’s Day might not be the best move, but her dad, Dave, said that it could only add to his Father’s Day and that’s when I decided Sunday, June 16 was the day,” he added. “Shout out to Lauren’s parents, Dave and Kris, for having the yard in tip-top shape!”
The couple started dating last fall and Bushnell moved to Nashville in March to be with Lane. To celebrate their relationship, Chris wrote his new song “Big, Big Plans” for Lauren. Sharing the romantic tune with her and her family set the perfect stage to ask for her hand in marriage.
“I can’t stop smiling 😭 I feel so incredibly blessed that every misstep, mistake and heartache has led me to you. I couldn’t be happier to call you mine, forever. The journey was well worth it. Thank you Christopher Eric Lane for softening my heart and making it whole. Never going to stop telling you how much I love you and I will hold onto you forever and ever! Lauren Lane has a nice ring to it 💍,” the Bachelor alum shared.
“Baby, you’re the best thing to ever happen,” Chris says as he gets down on one knee. “You’ve brought out a lot of things inside me that I didn’t even know existed. And I have to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?”
