A chance encounter at a Kenny Chesney concert lead two fans to finding their soulmates. Check out their incredible love story here!

Who knew that Kenny Chesney‘s second talent was sort of being an indirect matchmaker?!

Nearly three years ago ago on March 27, 2015, Holly Hammonds and Army Capt. R.J. Edwards separately attended one of Kenny’s concerts at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Little did they know that cupid’s arrow would strike while enjoying a night of live county music.

Holly was attending her second Chesney concert in a row, accompanied by a friend. Being that the concert was sold out the two friends settled for the nose bleed seats and ended up sitting a couple rows away from a very handsome young man, R.J. Edwards. This is where fate pops in!

As the story goes, Holly and this young man were exchanging smiles and glances during the entire show. By the end of the night, R.J. found the courage to wave at Holly. It gets cuter…

Holly then decided to give him her number by holding up her phone and waving. She then held up her hands and with her fingers, she gave him her digits.

Edwards texted the girl of his dreams (though he didn’t know that at the time) after the show which lead to a night out at Tootsie’s together. It’s safe to say they grew quite fond of one another as they have spent the last few years growing their relationship.

Their unique ‘how we met’ story inspired R.J. to pop the question where they first met, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena! Of course Holly accepted his proposal! Prepare for happy tears…

Kenny Chesney managed to catch wind of the couple’s video and has invited them to any of his upcoming concerts of their choice and will of course get special VIP treatment! How adorable! Best wishes to R.J. and Holly as they prepare for their wedding in May.

Share this heartwarming story with other country music fans! Kenny’s 1998 tune “How Forever Feels” seems to fit this tale perfectly…

“How Forever Feels” Lyrics 

Big orange ball, sinkin’ in the water
Toes in the sand, couldn’t get much hotter
Little umbrella shaped margaritas
Coconut oil, tan senioritas
Now I know how Jimmy Buffet feels
Hands on the wheel, cruisin’ down the interstate
Gas pedal sticks, carries my car away
I was going fast as a Rambler goes
I could feel the speed from my head to my toes
Now I know how Richard Petty feels
I’ve been around the block a time or two
Done almost everything a boy can do
I’ve done some livin’, yeah I’ve had fun
But there is one thing that I haven’t done
Saved two months, bought a little diamond
Tonight’s the night, feels like perfect timin’
Down on one knee on momma’s front steps,
Man I’m gonna die if she really says yes
I want to know how forever feels
I’ve been around the block a time or two
Done almost everything a boy can do
I’ve done some livin’, yeah I’ve had fun
But there is one thing that I haven’t done
I want to know how forever feels
Hey, I want to know how forever feels
Girl, I want to know how forever feels
