Since they began dating in 2005, she’s fielded frequent questions from the media about when they might tie the knot, which only put more focus on the possibility. But while she hoped internally that it would happen, she gave Blake the space to pop the question when he was ready. He asked her May 9 in the woods near her home in Tishomingo, Okla., and she didn’t see the proposal coming.
“I was very surprised — very surprised,” she says. “You know, bein’ a girl, you’re always like, ‘When are we gonna get married? When are we gonna get married? When am I gonna get a ring? I don’t care if we get married…just give me the ring,’ you know? And I was shocked. I just — I didn’t know when or where or how, and I’m glad, ’cause I love surprises. Usually I can figure those things out, but I had no clue.”
The best part of it all, as far as Miranda’s concerned: The ring is from Blake.
“I know he’s the one, without a shadow of a doubt,” she says. “And so does my mom, and she’s always like, ‘I’ll know if it’s the one.’ My parents love him, and family is a huge thing to me. So if our families didn’t get along, it would be tragic. But our families get along great, and I love his parents, and so it’s perfect. It’s literally the fairytale that every girl dreams of. And you know, I think I’ve earned it!”
One thing their wedding guests won’t need to buy Blake and Miranda are his-and-her trophies. They each won at least one during the Academy of Country Music Awards in April. Blake and Trace Adkins shared the Vocal Event of the Year honor for “Hillbilly Bone.” Miranda collected three different awards: Top Female Vocalist; Album of the Year, for Revolution; and Video of the Year, for “White Liar.”
