Lauren Alaina and her now-husband, Cam Arnold, experienced a few unexpected twists on their journey to engagement. As Arnold shares, he had meticulously planned his proposal, only to have it foiled not once, but three times by Alaina herself. Determined to make it a memorable occasion, Arnold had intended to pop the question during their first night in their new house.
However, Alaina inadvertently disrupted his romantic plans when she brought dinner to the crew who were working on installing bathroom tiles. Arnold had assumed the crew would finish their meal and leave for the day, but they ended up eating and continuing their work late into the night. This unexpected turn of events left Arnold alone, left to spend what he had envisioned as his engagement night by himself while Alaina slept soundly.
Amusingly, Arnold recalls how he resorted to drinking a whole bottle of wine while watching the crew lay tiles and jokingly expressing his disbelief at their continued presence. Despite these humorous setbacks, the couple's engagement unfolded happily in November 2022, with Alaina describing it as 'perfect.'
Delightfully intimate, the proposal took place in the morning, with just the two of them present. Alaina expresses no regrets, stating that she wouldn't change a thing about it. However, she playfully acknowledges her unintentional role in hindering the proposal on multiple occasions, jokingly apologizing to Arnold.
Shortly after their engagement, Alaina and Arnold had the chance to share their joyous news with the public during Alaina's performance at the prestigious Grand Ole Opry. Inviting Arnold onstage, a beaming Alaina introduced her future husband to the ecstatic audience. It was a special moment that further solidified their commitment.
Recently, the couple celebrated their wedding day in Nashville surrounded by approximately 450 family members and friends. Their nuptials were described as a 'big, loud' celebration—a testament to the love and support they have from their extensive network. Notable attendees included musicians such as HARDY, Jason Aldean, and Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay.
Alaina reflects on the significance of marrying Arnold, labeling it as the most meaningful thing she has ever done. She emphasizes that this union is the first step towards building a family and creating a forever home—a safe place she can proudly call her own. With great excitement, she looks forward to taking on her new last name, one that she shares with her future children.
