“Everybody, this is my fiancé!”
Lauren described the moment after Cameron popped the question, “After he proposed to me, I said you have to come out on this stage at the Grand Ole Opry.” As Cameron strode toward her, Lauren said, “Everybody, this is my fiancé,” after the two kissed, Lauren gushed, “Make some noise for my future husband everybody!”
On stage, Lauren said that Cameron isn’t a fan of the limelight. “He did not want to do that… He likes to be in the shadows, and he was like ‘you’re not making me come out there’ and I said ‘you are not, not getting a picture in the circle. So, we negotiated and he came out for the picture.”
